As we argued to investors about our members' pension funds, Elon Musk is acting like an angry toddler on the internet instead of protecting Tesla shareholders. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms, so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government.

If you are still concerned about the survival of American democracy, it's time to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: It's gone, y'all. We can't defeat fascism until we acknowledge its existence. http://dlvr.it/TJYGNj

Thank u Ari Melber 4 having me discuss why I’m spitting mad about the Ed Dept firings. It’s an attack on our students & public schools. They’re hurting people who can’t vote-our kids. It’s taking away opportunity. It’s not efficiency-it’s evisceration #ProtectOurKids www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF9i...

The Education Department’s civil rights office has been among the hardest hit by layoffs, with the Trump administration shuttering seven of its 12 regional offices and laying off nearly half of its staff.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

Posted by @attorneycrump.bsky.social: “Target, once a corporate leader in DEI, now faces a 40-day boycott led by Rev. Jamal Bryant after scaling back its diversity efforts. The retailer currently faces declining sales, tariff pressures, and customer visits dropping more than rival competitors.”

No one likes bureaucracy + everyone’s in favor of more efficiency. Let’s find ways to accomplish that. But don’t use a ‘war on woke’ to dismantle the Ed Dept & attack kids living in poverty & kids with disabilities, to pay for vouchers and tax cuts for billionaires. www.aft.org/press-releas...

In January, Gwynne Wilcox was illegally fired from the @nlrbgov.bsky.social, effectively shutting down their operations and making it easier for bosses to deny workers their right to organize. Tomorrow after her court hearing, we’re rallying to restore her seat on the board. Join us.

Our #ProtectOurKids Day of Action is today. Hundreds of actions. Gutting public education to give tax cuts to billionaires would deny opportunities to children—including students with disabilities & kids living in poverty. I’m proud of our members for speaking out! www.aft.org/ProtectOurKids

ED may have realized they overreached and pulled back, but still where is the guidance telling teachers what is / is not ok to teach. Can they cover Jim Crow laws? American involvement in WWII? We shouldn’t have to hire private law firms to interpret. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Ending education programs-so kids can’t get services To give Musk another tax break That’s what Trump is apparently doing Senator Richard Blumenthal “When you cut programs that enrich education to give tax breaks to the wealthy, who is..holding the bag? Our students” DON’T DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to Trump in the span of an hour and a half today in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term. The rulings are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda.
