The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.
They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support.

There’s no good reason for the Trump administration to cut grants for student mental health programs. It’s happening anyway.

Oklahoma schools are now ordered by Ryan Walters to teach “2020 election discrepancies” as fact.
Not inquiry—indoctrination.
Trump’s lies are now a learning standard.
This isn’t education.
It’s authoritarian memory craft.
