NEW: We spoke with friends, family members, and lawyers of ten men sent to an infamous Salvadoran prison by the Trump administration. All reject that their loved ones are gang members.
Instead, they say: The US is disappearing people, without due process, to a mega-prison because of their tattoos.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos
The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

No public funds for private schools
Over the last three years, the head of a small charter school network that serves fewer than 1,000 students has taken home up to $870,000 annually, a startling amount that appears to be the highest for any public school superintendent in Texas.

A generation ago, the main push for vouchers came from the GOP's neoliberal wing whose goal is to divert public $ to private entities, weakening the public sphere. Today, it's more from the theocratic wing, which wants to demolish the wall between church & state. Either way, democracy loses.
Percent of school vouchers that go to religious institutions (schools and the churches that run them):
Florida - 82%
Arizona ESP - 87% (older AZ program: 96%)
North Carolina - 92%
Ohio - 91%
Wisconsin - 96%
Indiana - 98%

Billions in taxpayer dollars now go to religious schools via vouchers
The rapid expansion of state voucher programs follows court decisions that have eroded the separation between church and state.

So this “populist” president that was elected is turning over the levers of the administration of government to unelected billionaires who are in your bedroom, your living room, your businesses. They’ve got all your data. All of it. ..

It’s a relay. Find your team
Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
