Trump continued his efforts to dismantle the Department of Education this week by moving two crucial offices into other federal agencies.
Why is he determined to gut education? It’s all part of his attack on not just what we do — but what we think. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=IY6HM-j-sSmjVW3_

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

It’s a serious time and I am worried.
That being said, does anyone else from GenX remember the alternate words to “Barbara Ann” circa 1980.
I hate to bring it up— but it’s also stuck in my head.
Stay safe everyone. Stay alert. Let’s hope Congress grows a spine.
