What they are proposing is not appropriate, nor should it be considered “education”; it’s indoctrination that they agree with. I’m thankful that Denton ISD continues to resist these measures and to support the genuine needs of the students across Denton county. #EduSky

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

When they say they want to outlaw "DEI," they mean they want to eliminate any mention of the existence of non-white people.

An underappreciated danger in school voucher schemes is families may take on new debt—to private schools or other vendors—beyond what vouchers cover. HS degree grantors and for-profit microschools can hike tuition and all but force families to take out top-off loans to complete.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

“…that touched on equity in some way.” Equity…a literal synonym of fairness…a founding principle of the US…is being erased from a foundational institution for democracy. Can we agree they’re fascists, yet?

The removal of the Department of Health and Human Services Reproductive Rights site, and with it the erasure of accurate and timely info on reproductive health care, rights, and resources, is a clear attack on reproductive rights. You can find the archived site here:

Spoiler alert: if any health organization or, say, member of the Kennedy family tells you they’re here to stop chronic health issues and does not mention masking, covid vaccination, or avoiding illnesses that cause chronic conditions, they are entirely full of shit.

Science/academia are under siege. Slashed funding from NIH, NSF, and NASA, etc.—plus loss of Pell Grants—will cripple universities. Next, massive endowment taxes aim to deliver the final blow. Research and education are on the line. Call your representatives. Spread the word. Take action. #scicomm 🧪

Update: got well over 30 responses (maybe closer to 40), mainly on IG cis women are pissed that anti-trans people claim to be speaking for us “to protect us.” We know they’re using us as tools to harm trans people (and to harm us, too). People are sending me long, sometimes multiple paragraphs

Trump is making plans to illegally eliminate the Dept of Ed. This will make it harder for disabled children to receive services the laws say they have a right to. Call your congressional representatives' and governors' offices. #Education #SpecialEducation youtube.com/shorts/J6T9-...

Trump and Musk shutting down USAID is an extraordinary tragedy for the poorest people in the world, including disabled people. This programme was set up by the US Congress in the name of the American people, but likely to be ended by two billionaires, operating with no democratic oversight.

If you have decided you want to be a leader, now is the time to show your leadership skills. Be the person, even when it's scary, to be out front pushing back. If not, cede leadership to someone who is willing to. Now is not the time to bend a knee.
