By gutting the Department of Education, President Trump is again trying to undermine Congress' authority — this time putting the education and civil rights of millions of students at risk. Congress must take action.

Time for ACT UP style actions.

It's never a drag queen. It's never a trans woman. It's never a non-binary person. It's always a conservative cisgender male. Projection - its a hell of a drug. Read more about why in my latest substack. tinyurl.com/GOPprojection

In February, 2016 after a win in the NV primary, where a large majority of people with a high school education or less voted for him, Trump declared "I love the poorly educated." Is it really a surprise that he is now going to sign an order that ends the Dept of Education? youtu.be/Vpdt7omPoa0?...

Here's a thread with some of our recent trans rights protest coverage. You won't see this stuff on NYT: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

“No politician would act like this if he wanted to be reelected.” Yeah. I think they’re hoping they won’t need to worry about reelection…

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

Yes. That is in fact what just happened.

A 25-year-old Musk staffer violated Treasury policies by emailing an unencrypted database containing personal information to two Trump administration officials.
