Extreme anti-public education politicians and their billionaire backers are shutting out the leaders we elect. We refuse to stand by while they undermine our democracy. We will do whatever it takes to protect our students and the futures they deserve.

Lawmakers were told they have to have an appointment or get an escort to enter the department.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted.

They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

Trump is prepping an executive order to dismantle the Dept. of Education, directly harming students. It will drain resources from the most vulnerable, skyrocket class sizes, make higher ed more expensive, strip special ed services, and gut student civil rights protections. We won't let this happen.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.
