Trump signs EO dismantling the Deparment of Education, next to a "classroom" of children who don't realize what this will actually do to their education

The cops aren't going to be lifting a finger to stop any of this for the same reason the cops treat nazis walking downtown with kid gloves while cracking skulls elsewhere
I hope he has a heart attack and impales his face falling on his pen. This senile fucking Nazi is being fed lines in an ear piece. He doesn’t know what he’s signing
After closing the Dept of Ed, tax revenue that remains in-state will now benefit the wealthiest per capita states the most, such as NY, CA, CT, NJ, WA--because the Fed tax revenue had been getting redistributed based on need by the Dept of Ed.
States of KY, NM, AL, WV and MS will lose the most aid.
All but NM went for Trump. This is a move to strengthen the GOP base. History tells us that one way you keep a population subdued is by keeping them simple-minded and uneducated.
This is basically a full-on war on education. One of the key pillars of democracy. They want to raise a generation of either nihilist Nazis or people with no clear moral compass who spend their lives in meaningless moral conundrums and go to “truth social” to learn finally that 2+2=5.
Mao Zedong once launched the "Cultural Revolution" in China for the sake of dictatorship.
He closed all university education, arrested teachers, and sent junior high school students and above to the countryside for labor reform.
I suspect the wife will last maybe one more year, luckily in CA, most/all red states won't fight this at all but the whole thing smells like a lost decade or two.
He also has no constitutional power to do this and it must be ignored beyond noting that he’s gone to great lengths to formally declare his admin’s opposition to it.
If Trump the sequel could be condensed into a single image, this would be a contender. Less impactful than dismantling our system of justice, less immediate consequences than pivoting away from Europe toward a failed Russian empire, but highly symbolic!
Welcome to America!! I do wonder if all of the white women who repeatedlyfailed to show up for Harris in the numbers expected or even up to Biden's numbers are happy or weeping. Second thought, I don't want to know!
They want to:
1) Break teacher unions
2) Turn schools into corporate profit centers
3) Increase money to Christian schools
4) Teach right wing propaganda
Absolutely disgusting to have these kids behind them. They have no idea this man is taking funding and health away from them and being used as pawns. I'm sick.
Republicans created North Korea-style propaganda outlets, and imbeciles chose them over news. Republicans are more like North Koreans than any Westerners these days, which is why they betrayed us all.
The children rehearsed because they have folder & pen props, and they sign their docs, holding up the folders when Trump did.
I wonder if they were paid for that performance or were they were recruited from a conservative school. It’s creepy IMO.

seems like child abuse...
The celebrations that will be had when that orange sausage in a suit finally shuffles off to hell.
It cannot be ended with the order of one 78-year-old criminal ræpist drug addict in adult diapers.
Only an act of Congress can affect the Department of Education.
Do not obey. Keep working.
Courts will order Illegally fired employees reinstated.
They will ignore the orders.
Crack skulls. Be the Judiciary.
We can’t wallow in despair and hopelessness.
France has a great history of revolution that we can take inspiration from.

My neighbor has a disabled child that will lose support as a result of this. He also works for the VA.
