Thanks resisters for participation in the 4/17-19 Work Stop. Take 1/2 days, boycott the wealthy, attend rallies/protests. Start community liberty gardens and local barter systems; when the economy crashes, they will be invaluable. Help the elderly and homeless.

MAGA’s nightmare: AOC. Dismantling MAGAS faux-working-class charade while forging a real movement that can’t be bought. My future doesn’t negotiate with a MAGA PAST built on dreamers lost in the hazy illusion of a USA that never existed
The privatization of education has been a long term goal of the rich and Republican party for decades. Its not coincidence both of these factions has the same goal. This is legalized theft and they are working very hard to do it.
I hope it holds. Republicans in AZ wouldn’t let it go until they got vouchers. Ignored the vote of the people, the law, they were relentless. So we are, 49th in education, and a large government surplus gone. 75% of the vouchers go to the 3 riches zip codes. Total bullshit
The only time a voucher program is even worth considering is when the state requires citizens to pay a separate school district tax and said voucher amount slides lower in the amount you are given as you make more funds.
We have this in WV, misleadingly called "Hope Scholarships." $4K to every student for charter, private, religious, homeschool, etc. Cost this year - $100M. Loss to public schools - that amount plus incalculable. Terrible program, but MAGA won't stop.
I live in WI as well. Just imagine if public tax dollars didn't have to fund private schools. I mean you are seeing all these school referendums. Since Walker and the GOP ran public schools into the ground and WI public schools have yet to recover.
Florida is going to shoot this idea in the foot. They’re paying for backyard trampolines and annual (just one each) trips to Disney World. Florida is where accountability goes to die.
Oklahoma is also trying to use public funding for private religious schools. When I was in public school, we couldn’t even keep the hall lights on, I used a flashlight in my locker.
Glad to read it. Texas legislators passed vouchering over night. They've been on about it for over a decade. Aside from Chicago, some of the biggest public school systems in the country therein. So many are going to suffer.
Dear Jess, I recognize that I'm behaving in a petty and juvenile manner when I ask the following question. Did anyone (other than I) ever call Missouri's governor "Keyhole" to underscore his contempt for and second guessing of the voters in your state?
Why are we still subjected to this oppression? How do we get rid of this yoke? We need good, qualified people to run for office! Even in the blue cities, the politicians deal.
They want education for the rich and no one else.
Republicans have chipped away at public Ed for decades. The create or exacerbate a problem, then say it doesn’t work and blame Dems
Vouchers = Profit for private schools THEY own. While the private school fees are higher so poor kids cannot attend school at all. Profit, indoctrination, exclusion. THAT'S their plan.
Wonderful news! MO's voucher crap was the final straw in deciding against travel to MO for a conference in the fall. Would love to know what you think of declining to spend dollars in states that do awful stuff. Thanks for your hard work!
I live in a very blue area of Missouri. So maybe do your research on cities and not just the state. The electoral college is crap. And there are good people in every state.
Thks for this. I know good ppl are all over! I wish it was clearer whether indiv $ make a diff. It's a disability conf too & state leg is trying to F w/Mcaid elig for disabled & elderly. Chat bot tells me KC opposes state efforts. Maybe my $ will help KC more than hurt state leg. Thx again!
Meanwhile in Texas they passed school vouchers over majority of Texans who didn’t want it! Gerrymandering and purging democrats from voter rolls gets you want you want! Racism!
Exactly! A family in Texas with 4 children in private school get a bonus of $32K/year. That’s a chunk of change to pocket, at the detriment of all Texans. Public school is the life of Texas communities.
So much for Robin Hood Plan, and promises to fund public education, Abbott.
The same thing just passed in Texas. The destruction of public schools is their goal. Keeping the people ignorant is how Republicans keep getting elected.
“When we say that this bill is about helping the needy, helping the poor, helping people who are living paycheck to paycheck, this is not what this bill does. This bill is a trough, a feeding trough for the rich.” Texas State Representative Gene Wu 🇺🇸❤️✨
Yes. If they want Jesus schools they can pay for them. Our schools are hanging by a thread with many teachers paying for their students' supplies. We cannot afford to hack the Education budget to hand out vouchers for elitist, isolationist schools.
I'm more of a text person than a figures person, but I think 3.5% equals 11,900,000, so everybody get out there this Saturday. Bad things are happening and it's speeding up!
I would like any MAGA to answer a question.
Why are you all hell bent on disbanding the dept of Education? Let's be happy best... You all aren't bright bulbs on the string to begin with...
We just did it in Texas. Taxpayers get to pay private schools $10k per student per year and pay public schools less than $7k per student per year.
Abbott negotiated this sweet deal himself. He’s as good a negotiator as trump. Couple of F**king geniuses. Stealing tax dollars.
Are they starting to wake up or were they just holding out, letting Johnson think he had it nailed and waiting to surprise him? Don't care if it was just a tactic or they're stepping up... this is GOOD NEWS!!!
Fantastic! You wanna send your kid to an expensive private school? Fine. Do it with your own damn money and leave my tax dollars alone for EVERYONE to use.
Who are the groups out pushing these school vouchers? It's being pushed in ND too. It is NOT popular, yet it is still being supported by the governor.
There has to be some big money group pushing this in all the states. We need to get rid of big money in our elections!
Great! 👏 We also sent Jason Smith to El Salvador to celebrate locking up prisoners that we sent out of the country. One step forward, two steps back. 🤦♀️

At least 1 legislature has common sense & a backbone. In TX we just have a slew of "yes men" wanting to gain favor w/ the MAGA officials - Gov, Lt Gov, AG - who can control billions of $'s in campaign funds...
It makes me beyond angry that we don't have the ability to voter petitioned issues onto our ballots.
It doesn't matter what the majority of Iowa citizens want. The rural voters have all the power in our state.

So much for Robin Hood Plan, and promises to fund public education, Abbott.
From Washington Post:
“Reps. Jason T. Smith (R-Missouri) and Riley Moore (R-West Virginia) shared photos of themselves at CECOT on Tuesday and said they supported Trump’s efforts to send criminals there.”

Melanie Stinnet is going to run for his seat and she's a snake. Dodging hard votes.
We can flip that seat.
Ya'll are doing great work!

Look at what these fucks are trying to pull with abortion here.
Same shit, they know better than I about my uterus.
When will we ALL learn who these people are?
Read this.
Another RED state has determined that school vouchers are bad policy.
You can admit it now.
Or you can wait until Iowa hits the fiscal iceberg.
And Democrats are left with the hard work to fix the problem you created.
It doesn't matter what the majority of Iowa citizens want. The rural voters have all the power in our state.
