Why is GOP dismantling Dept of Ed?

Because, as Jason Stanley's book says, "Erasing History is How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future."

That is why we must continue to support educators who teach people's history & critical literacy in K-12.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

The wholesale acceptance of AI—ESPECIALLY in education—is absolutely wild to me. I feel like I'm shouting into the void more than usual these days. A bunch of word salad that means nothing and is far from the critical thinking we're supposed to teach our students.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵
