So heartbreaking and infuriating. I work in education, me team supports 24 libraries. Our goal is and has always been to help educate students. How does anyone cheer the gutting of education. You know those were some hard working folks who lost their jobs and it just breaks my heart. No one wins.

🖕

You have my deepest respect and admiration. That being said, if you vote to pass this bill today, I will make it my business to donate and campaign for the Dem opposing you in the next election. The GOP holds the majority. If they can’t pass this bill it is on them. @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

It is crazy to watch the DOE get gutted. Not like I didn't know it was coming but being in education and with a lot of friends in education, it hurts. I was hoping to retire in 3yrs but hey, I might be out of job before that (early retirement?).

Very long 🧵 Please bear with me, I need to get a couple things off my chest. I worked for a non-profit that provided educational services for children and young adults with behavioral and instructional needs. Think IEP’s, 504’s, home care support, behavioral counseling, school instructional aides,

Can we please kick the realty TV stars out of DC because between Trump and Duffy, I just can't handle this level of stupidity and racism. Maybe they could take a certain South African with them as well. Just a suggestion. 🤷‍♀️

Q: “The foreign affairs minister called all of this a psychodrama - how do you characterize it?” TRUDEAU: “Thursday.” 🔥

I'm at a crossroads: I could say Good Morning, or.........

Discontent with the Trump-Musk regime has surged even further. America appears to be waking up. Here’s the latest evidence — 10 more reasons for modest optimism. Robert Reich Thanks, @rbreich.bsky.social robertreich.substack.com/p/more-reaso...

Same!

So pretty! If I had known these existed, I would have used this to name one of my kittens. My fur babies are named: Orca, Dusky, Minke, and Spinner. I love dolphins/porpoises! 🐬

👏👏👊👊💪💪

It is the oddest thing I've heard from people in my world who have said, if they have money, they must be smart. no, they don't, they can be idiots and Muskrat and the Orange Clown are not smart, they just have money and they want more.

🤮

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

I cannot believe how Vance and 🍑🤡 treated Zelensky. He is trying to keep his country free and this is how you treat a man who has fought off Russian aggression? I'm not a fan of Reagan but he must be rolling in his grave.

Well... those planning to fly might do well to change those plans.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Awesome, nothing like being in education and the police state has reached us enddei.ed.gov. 😡 WTAF

Who exactly is paying them and can I get in on the action? 😏. Might need some extra cash as my retirement fund keeps taking a hit.

Grow a spine or get out of government. You dishonor the people you represent.

The economic black out is tomorrow. I'm participating.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

10 years ago I had the flu, I felt awful, I mean, SO awful. If there was an "itis" to get, I got it; laryngitis, bronchitis, etc. Only time I've felt worse, was COVID. I swore after that, I would get my flu shot every year. I can't believe they are pulling the plug. Flu kills, folks!

Day 27 of Black History Month quote from Mr Baldwin is a stark reminder to us that we are all human beings. We need to treat each other with dignity, respect, honor. In our pain, anguish & disgust at what is happening, remember Mr Baldwin was an educated black gay man He knew all the hatred too well

Don't forget! Friday (12:01am-11:59pm) ‼️#EconomicBlackout‼️ No spending money, ESPECIALLY no Amazon, Target, or Walmart, for 24 hrs, unless you absolutely have to (& if you have to, pls shop local & use cash).

🧵RFKJr said the measles outbreak that led to the death of a child is “not that unusual” (links below). That’s a lie. It IS unusual because we have the ability to have NO measles outbreaks. But with falling vaccine rates, we are seeing yearly outbreaks of increasing size (links below).

Measles top Page One. @usatoday.com

I'm in! I've been trying to find alternatives to Amazon. Wally world is easy to give up but Amazon is harder but I definitely won't be buying anything on the 28th.

Illinois public schools are not changing curriculum as it relates to LGBTQ+ issues, despite a warning from the federal Department of Education. (wgntv.com/news/illinoi...)

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Going to promote my academic institution "CSU degree is tops in the socioeconomic mobility index, study says | Los Angeles Times" : www.latimes.com/california/s...

sure, it was a "mistake" Pull the other leg, it plays jingle bells.

I don’t know about you, but I’ll never bend the knee to ‘King Trump.’ Get fucked.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

Because "Just Say No" worked fabulously in the 80's!

Time to stop pretending what's happening isn't real.

WTF!
