Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

So it turns out when you DON'T go woke, you go broke.

Trump's New DEI? Dying Economy and Inflation.

It's only two weeks in and Trump is Making America Broke Again!

I kind of have to stress that all of this is being done by some very incompetent people.

Republican Senators are rushing Russell Vought's confirmation process—with his final vote happening likely happening TOMORROW. 

There is still time to tell your senators to vote NO on his confirmation. ⬇️
Tell Your Senators: Russ Vought Is Unfit to Lead the Office of Management and Budget
We deserve a nominee who will protect programs that benefit working families, not an extremist with an anti-government agenda!

Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Reminder: The Constitution says Congress regulates trade. The president imposing tariffs is an abuse of emergency powers.

There is clearly no US national security emergency regarding Canada. Media might not care, weaklings in Congress might want to forfeit their authority, but still, facts matter.

These executive orders are reckless and illegal. They hurt real students, real educators, and real communities. That’s why educator voices are so critical in this moment. Share your story at nea.org/share

This week has been overwhelming—executive orders creating fear, uncertainty, and real harm to our students. But here’s what we need you to know: you are not alone. Your union is standing with you, advocating for you, and amplifying your voices. Share your story at nea.org/share

You don't have to be one of the thousands of AFT members on our town hall call to send a letter to your members of Congress. They must urge the president to reinstate the protection of schools, hospitals and churches against ICE.

Problematic statement: Any variation of “they don’t care” to any variation of “that’s illegal.”

Bruh, I know. I’m not telling them. I’m telling us. To build Community. When we all agree that they’re wrong and act in unison, then it won’t matter that they don’t care.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
