you know white people have lost the plot when they've convinced themselves that the Civil Rights Act is reverse racist.
We need critical literacy more than ever. This is what happens when a country doesn't teach, remember, or understand its own history.

Only 6%-13% of k-12 edu funding comes from the fed, but that $$$ goes to serve students with disabilities and students in poverty. This is more of the same playbook of targeting the vulnerable and calling it progress.
They've been saying this every week for two months now. Worth keeping an eye on, but I'll believe it when I see it:
"Trump plans to sign an executive order Thursday calling for the shutdown of the U.S. Education Department, according to a White House official..."

DC folks we're gonna go to the Senate building tomorrow and confront Schumer with our resistance. This is OUR money and we won't let Congress defund our schools, transportation system, and social safety net without putting up a fight!
Senseless pain is about to be afflicted to D.C., a place that has no congressional representation. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...
How Congress Could Force $1.1 Billion in Cuts on Washington, D.C.
District leaders say that a proposed cut to the city budget, part of a plan to avert a federal government shutdown, is unfair. The city raises most of its own money but cannot control how it is spent.

Just to answer some of your questions: We are asking Senate Democrats to vote NO on cloture without a path to winning a clean 30-day continuing resolution.
Cloture requires 60 votes, so the Senate GOP will need Democratic support. Urge your senators to hold the line. 👇

I don't think enough elementary schools are teaching Black history. Most of the time schools have either a significant Black teacher population or a majority Black student population.
And even if it's being taught, I worry it's not being taught well. Black studies should be standard.

The Right is focused on education—banning books & history, & defunding schools.
The Left hasn’t been as focused on education, but should because:
1) Students deserve to learn the truth & with it they can change the world
2) Educators are the most unionized workplace & can be a force for justice

sabotaging government so that you can turn around and tell people government is broken and that’s why we should privatize everything
we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power
