Funding cut for school food programs.
Retaliatory “frozen funds”because of “DEI initiatives”.
Dismantling of the DOEd.
The future in education is looking pretty bleak.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Trump is prepping an executive order to dismantle the Dept. of Education, directly harming students. It will drain resources from the most vulnerable, skyrocket class sizes, make higher ed more expensive, strip special ed services, and gut student civil rights protections. We won't let this happen.

This. Is. Amazing. Finally, an ebook alternative for Amazon, but for independent bookstores. This is amazing for readers who want to be more intentional about where you're spending your money. 📖 #BookSky
