Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

The same crowd who doesn't want confederate statues taken down want to whitewash our history in schools, and in institutions like the Smithsonian by erasing any reference to pioneers who are female, of color or trans, and erase periods of our past that don't fit what they perceive as "American".
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Also if any elected Dem says the way we deal with this is to win the midterms, they should be immediately primaried. You don’t get elected to win the next election. You get elected to fight in between.

CNN is making a fatal mistake by sucking up to MAGA in an attempt to lure viewers from Fox. It may think it's going for the middle ground, but it's actually stepping into quicksand.

From Ezra Klein. "The first two weeks of Trump’s presidency have not shown his strength. He is trying to overwhelm you. He is trying to keep you off-balance. He is trying to persuade you of something that isn’t true. Don’t believe him."
