Assholes. The DOE is so important. We must fight back

loveisphere.bsky.social•28 days ago

Hoo boy.. the coup is heating up and we’re only on day 14.

P.S. It took Hitler 53 days.

People have to start demanding Musk be removed from government affairs and protesting in mass nothing will change.

So goodbye to IEPs and a bunch of other support for schools.

Just wait, NATO is coming 😑

jesusinabathtub.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yup let’s slash so Musk can get his greedy hands on it

2. The officials have discussed an executive order that would shut down all functions of the agency that aren't written explicitly into statute or move certain functions to other departments, according to people familiar with the matter.

3. The order would call for developing a legislative proposal to abolish the department, the people said. Trump's advisers are still debating the specifics of the order and the timing, the people said.

Just another Brick in the Wall...

Members of the House submitted a bill on 1/31 that would terminate the DOE entirely.

They want everyone to be dumb and stupid like them.

Legitimate question, is the congressional GOP caucus just kowtowing to Trump? Doesn’t a ton of this stuff require congressional sign off? He’s obviously going to keep pressing until someone says no, doesn’t seem like anyone cares to even sniff any pushback.

Stop it here!

No way this is constitutional

tonequest.bsky.social•28 days ago

Not to shrink, to control, to have power over everything including what anyone learns and thinks.

President Carter created the Dept of Education

topsgt1.bsky.social•28 days ago

Not really news. Project 2025 calls for dismantling Education dept and Trump talked about it before Jan 20.

Elon Musk is a NAZI SCUM garbage who believes in Hitler’s NAZI Ideology. He’s a puppet for china & Russia. He is a national security threat to the U.S & international terrorist. He’s a malignant narcissist, psychopathic lunatic, sociopath & megalomanic. He’s not American. He is insane & dangerous

2giveup2.bsky.social•28 days ago

Project 2025 is all over it.

lulu1138.bsky.social•28 days ago

They want to abolish this to end public school, which would force women out of the workforce to rear the children. It is all part of the plot to have women be dutiful stay at home maids. And, brother, I am hear to tell you, we will fight these people to end of hell and into the next dimension.

margoforsaints.bsky.social•28 days ago

Throwing the baby out with the bath water doesn’t seem the most prudent approach to improving our education system.

hittielove2.bsky.social•28 days ago

They are weighing nothing. It's part of Project 2025. They just have some bigger fish to fry right now, like hijacking the Treasury and OMP and multiple agencies that hold the piggy banks to line their pockets with. They'll get around to it.

***REPOST - CALL TO ACTION: Congress members are not allowed access to the ED building. GO HELP THEM PUSH THROUGH FORCEFULLY!!!! *************The headquarters of the United States Department of Education (ED) is located at 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202.

feliciahenderson.bsky.social•28 days ago

Can we please refer to them as Elon and his co-conspirators, not his allies.

skipwebb.bsky.social•28 days ago

As a dyslexic American, this is war. This is funding to my access to books on tape from the library of congress.

mabinogi62.bsky.social•28 days ago

They are not serious about slashing gov't spending. They would have to start with the defense budget, slash military numbers, cut recruiting quotas, cancel weapons systems.

pberman123.bsky.social•28 days ago

Arrest Elon

dogmacatma.bsky.social•28 days ago

They can’t abolish it by eo . It’s congressionally created under a law

jofromeurope.bsky.social•28 days ago

you dont need education to pick crops

loudlily.bsky.social•28 days ago

They said they were gonna do it. It’s right there in the document! Smdh

curtisrcooley.bsky.social•28 days ago

The sad part is this will not affect MAGAts because they can not be more uneducated.

curtisrcooley.bsky.social•28 days ago

I'm not just being mean. I've seen folks go to the streets and ask them basic civics questions and they all fail. I mean basic basic like how many branches of government are there?

fridakhaliente.bsky.social•28 days ago

musk is not an elected official!! dismantling our already struggling education department is cruelty beyond.

Can't tell how expensive eggs are if you never learn math

czarofangola.bsky.social•28 days ago

They don't care and it appears that the Democrats don't either.

bailey2017.bsky.social•28 days ago

As if this country couldn't be any dumber. Already got 60% at only a 5th grade level. He wants to eliminate the few free thinking smart ppl. Unfortunately we're extremely small minority

bbmjcandy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Stop it here!

lesliebeth.bsky.social•28 days ago

Everyone involved with Trump need to go to prison for the rest of their lives!

suasponte2023.bsky.social•28 days ago

As long as it looks like Musk's unconstitutional actions are working, they'll expand his reach to keep their own hands clean-ish, I bet.

This might be a good time for someone in the Democratic party to try and stop him.

Just floating that idea out there.

emcsull.bsky.social•28 days ago

I believe they can't do that unless Congress approves

aeenergy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Can’t he be arrested for not having the proper clearances? Like what the heck. Nobody can find a reason to pull him out of there?

michael.and.camera•28 days ago

He can have any clearance he wants. Trump will give it to him
