Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Government thugs. There must be an accounting for everyone who participated in these acts of evil when this is all over.
“Mommy, no. Mommy.”

Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody.

The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang.

If you are not furious at what our government did to these people, there’s something wrong with you.

Let's go! Issa refuses to have a town hall. Come on over and let's hear from his constituents! @robertgarcia.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
I’m ready to go on the road in California and start hosting town halls - in Republican districts. If GOP House members won’t hold town halls in their districts, we will.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This is the perfect example of the govt waste/fraud debate. Nobody wants waste, but the wealthiest see it differently than the rest of us. Thanks to @rbreich.bsky.social for making that clear.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I’ve never seen people so quick to politicize tragedy. Seriously - state rep Bill Essayli (culture war hero) and an area school board member Jen Wiersma - while people are still risking their lives. Sickening.

Notice the word choice here: “devoted” vs “manage”. Someone please tell me how I’m not devoted to every student sitting in my class. There is a constant struggle with this mentality and it’s a growing concern in SoCal communities.

One positive from these #trump cabinet picks is it reinforces my students’ beliefs they can attain a top position with zero experience. In resume writing, we are adding “loyal sycophant” to the Special Skills section

This is the language of a public school board candidate recently recalled in Temecula, CA who is narrowly winning to take back the seat. Again…a public school board.

Great read and enjoyed the extended convo today with @timmiller.bsky.social that wondered if schools are killing curiosity - building on Sir Ken Robinson’s question “do schools kill creativity?” #edchat
In the early 1900s, Ivy League administrators helped change admissions criteria to value intelligence, rather than status, in an effort to create a more democratically selected ruling class.

Their idea backfired, David Brooks argues: theatln.tc/1ch9XfSk
