Donald Trump said he'd abolish the Department of Education, and that's exactly what he's doing.
If you send your kids to public school, Trump is sending you a clear message: he doesn’t care about you.

The layoffs mean that the department will now have a work force of about half the size it did when President Trump took office.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

“Today’s fake populists, Musk and his DOGE wrecking crew chief among them, seek to deepen inequality, in part by dismantling not just the federal Department of Education but the institution of public education itself.”

The Department of Education protects the rights of the most vulnerable students. Which means it’s woke and has to go. @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social writes on Trump’s war against public education.

Public education is meant to be a great equalizer. That’s why Trump wants to do undo it.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

In Los Angeles I saw a billboard asking me to join the green revolution. It was paid for by a group called CalRecycle. I could think of only one thing: why weren’t they called RecyCAL!? Climate change is real, and we need to use everything at our disposal to fight it, including portmanteaus.
