The Department of Education is parceling off its main offices and giving their responsibilities to other federal agencies.
Much of the funding for K-12 and colleges is being handed over to—wait for it—the Department of LABOR.
Because what else is education good for apart from producing workers?😞

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.
Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

China has introduced a new kind of public transport called the Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit, or ART system. These smart electric buses look and move like trains but run on rubber tires instead of traditional tracks.

Please, please do not minimize that being against beards in the military is very specifically racist (because the shaving requirement hurts Black men).

Yesterday, I spoke truth about what happened in North Carolina. About democracy being stolen in broad daylight. About rigged maps and broken promises. About betraying every sacrifice ever made for the right to vote.
Then something extraordinary happened.
