Neighbor is playing Pumped up Kick two days after a school shooting and the day before the anniversary of the Columbine massacre. Yeah it’s not a coincidence. People are just jerks.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

@booker.senate.gov You are a champion! I applaud your Tour de Force. Don’t agree with everything you’ve said or done, but this is the type of dedication we need. Cory “Fucking” Booker!

I’m really tired of yt privileged academics, medical professionals, and scientists, telling others to how to feel and react when they are leaving the country. It’s so easy for these people to bounce because they were never about the struggle.

Needing a David vs. Goliath break. Watched the movie Erin Brokovich. I remember going with my friend opening weekend after a long week to school and work. I remember crying when Erin gave Donna the good news and the roar of applause at the end. Davids we will beat Goliath and his goons.

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

“You can’t overestimate how inflammatory it was for former Confederate leaders to have a federal Department of Education because they equated ‘federal’ with Reconstruction.” Racists have been trying to kill it ever since. Yesterday, their hit man delivered. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

In Q&A with DOE employees: “I just hope that people realize that it’s not because we don’t want to serve you. It’s because we have people in power right now who want to break this system and who want to get rid of the fact that education is an equalizer.” www.texasobserver.org/department-o...

The University of Arizona are playing dirty. Not something new. Like the Trump administration, they are attempting to dismantle Culturally Responsive Centers at the UA.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order shutting down the Department of Education (DOE), which is the single largest funding source for education in America. No President can undo by executive order what Congress has done by statute.

If you are a Department of Education employee who handles disability and Trump’s executive order affects you, I want to speak. This is my Signal. I will protect your identity.

Not paying what’s left of my student loans. No Dept of Education, no loans. Don’t care if they’re transferred somewhere else. My contract (MPN) was with the Dept of Ed.

Trump does NOT have power to abolish the Department of Education Any attempt is ILLEGAL and an abuse of power Even the Trump-aligned Heritage Foundation (which released Project 2025) concluded the president lacks unilateral power to kill a department without Congress

Trump shuts down the Department of Education. Why is Linda McMahon taking tax payer dollars as Secretary of Education? Also, Chuck Schumer, how do you feel about helping the GOP pass their bill? Did it stop them? RESIGN.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

I am leaving the Democratic party as of today, Chuck Schumer. I am creating the Democracy party. Anyone and everyone who supports democracy can join me. The rest of you can fuck all the way off.

@warren.senate.gov Will you be at the Department of Education tomorrow? Will you encourage employees to show up? Dems need to do something. Don’t allow them to dismantle this department. Show up!

Yup. Back at work on my 8th day of pneumonia, which should take 2-4 weeks for anyone to get over, especially for those of us over 55, but I have to work or else or I’ll go homeless and won’t be able to eat. I don’t have time to get sick. I’m not allowed. That’s America.

Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

Zoe Saldaña’s and Adrian Brody’s acceptance speeches were so bad that they each earned a Razzie Award nomination. Saldaña’s backstage needs a separate nomination for gaslighting a whole culture and country.
