The US Department of Ed accounted for roughly 4% of all federal spending in fiscal year ‘24. And you want to cut it even more? Our children deserve better! Our schools deserve better! Our educators and families are worthy of our nation’s support.
I needed that South Park comic relief today.

We were happy to hand out these children’s books today at our Juneteenth celebration in Reno. And I loved the joy on people’s faces when they see books that represent their family, history and culture. Black history IS American history. #knowledgeispower #teachhistory

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

If Etsy lives by its promise of doing good then it will REMOVE the vendors who are selling ICE jackets for $20 so that White Supremacists can terrorize people.

Join us on June 14 for nationwide protests to deny Trump’s fascist birthday wish and send him one message: NO KINGS! Trump wants the world to see a glorious and powerful ruler, but what we’ll show them is a weak and unpopular president: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

“The best interest of the people” when their communities are being devastated by extreme climate change….flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires. #makeitmakesense
Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.
Fired FEMA chief threatened to quit weeks ago
Cameron Hamilton, the acting disaster chief, appeared to contradict Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by defending the agency on Wednesday.

“Bring her back! Bring her back!”
Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
 
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

100 men vs. 1 gorilla?

How about the working class against the oligarchy?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

We need affordable housing, but it must be sustainable. Of the largest 242 US cities 1970-2024 the top 2 were:

1. Reno NV +7.8°
2. Las Vegas NV +5.9°

That means housing must have solar power, EV chargers, water conservation & access to sustainable transit.

Root cause analysis of the US entering the Dark Ages. It’s this 👇! Dark Money on Netflix is enlightening. Get your $s out of our elections, stop gerrymandering, buying state legislatures, hiding your “contributions” in 501(c)(4)s.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Looking up budget information for the US Dept of Ed and the current reconciliation process. When I hear people say Democrats “aren’t doing anything,” read this 👇. They are trying. The ammendments are being rejected. The tsunami in cuts is coming…for the next 9 years!!! Call your reps.
