I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

"The administration, in its drive for total power, is determined to plunge the nation into even deeper constitutional crisis as Vance all but said directly by tweet last night that Trump intends to ignore court orders designed to curb some of his unconstitutional power grabs."

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

The Trump administration knows private school vouchers have failed in Congress and been rejected by voters, so they're using an executive order to push them through anyway—at the expense of 90% of students who attend public schools.
Graphic that reads: Trump signed an executive order to illegally funnel public school funds to private school vouchers. Who benefits? Private schools that can pick and choose who they enroll. Who loses? The 90% of students who attend public schools across America. Graphic that reads: This isn’t about choice—it’s about privatizing public education. Trump’s executive order is straight from the Project 2025 playbook—a scheme to privatize education and defund public schools. Less funding for Public schools. Fewer resources for students with disabilities. Public money handed to unaccountable private schools. Graphic that reads: When voters choose, vouchers lose. Example: In 2024, every single one of Kentucky’s 120 counties voted down a measure to expand private school vouchers. Why? Because communities know the truth—Public schools need more support, not less. Graphic that reads: We will not stand by while Trump and anti-public education politicians attack our students. If you try to come for our students, our schools, and our communities—we will organize, we will mobilize, and we will fight back.

Is anyone actually steering the ship? If they are doing this out loud what are they doing behind the scenes? What will become of us? Will anything be left? Will anybody be left? Are they dismantling centralized government to destabilize and dissolve us?

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
