Meet Emma Jogoz, a farmer in Maryland.

Her goal: Provide healthy, fresh food to schoolchildren.

Now, she might have to throw away 400,000 pounds of food -- worth $750,000 -- because the Trump admin ended the program schools use to buy from her

Important article from @coautumn.bsky.social about potential legislation being introduced by #democrats in the Colorado senate. It’s not good for #publiceducation.

Education deserts? Every CO student has access to a public school. Why not fund these schools adequately to ensure all students have access to a high-quality school?

Got this ad in my feed at the same time she voted yes. DCCC is clueless. Just read they spent $788k on ads to get small donors to donate before the vote. Small donors need to get smarter and save the money for midterms.

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

The president cannot dismantle the department of education without an act of Congress. However, he can apparently fire so many of the employees there is no department to run. Abracadabra no more department of education. Not enough staff to function and families will suffer.

I’m just curious where in the US are farmers going to be able to sell all of the crops they’ve been growing based on farm export demand? Will they even be able to? This is going to be awful. But they want small farms to fail so they can be bought by private equity firms or Big Ag.
American farm exports were worth $179 billion in 2022

Air Traffic Controllers are Fed. Employees. They’re the reason airlines can fly. MGT thinks they aren’t real jobs & don’t bring in real revenue! US Aviation Industry is 5% of the GDP. That’s $1.8 Trillion. Not real revenue? Fed employees don’t deserve jobs? This bitch is beyond stupid.

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.
Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.

But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Agreed Harry!
Donald Trump just said he wants the Department of Education to be eliminated immediately.

I can assure Trump that he and his diehard supporters need MORE education, not less.

Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power.

They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!
