You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

We are very far over the cliff here, folks

Research shows: Play-based learning can be more effective than direct instruction at improving outcomes for early learners—particularly in the development of mathematical and spatial skills. 🤸 #PlayfulLearning #EarlyChildhoodEducation

Longest Senate filibusters ever: Strom Thurmond - opposing voting rights for black people Ted Cruz - opposing health care for poor people Cory Booker - opposing fascism #filibuster

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you haven't loved her enough." Corey Booker, just now.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I don't want Canada or Greenland… I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

Seems pretty fascism-y

If you aren't reading her letters yet, you need to start.

This breaks my heart. How many generations will take to repair the mess this administration is making?

an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law

Putting JD Vance in charge, Trump revealed his intentions to reshape the Smithsonian Institution with an executive order Thursday that targets funding to programs with “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.” apnews.com/article/trum...

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.

“The Trump administration responded to Momodou Taal’s lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the executive orders by sending agents to stake out his house... This does not happen in a democracy,” Taal’s attorney Eric Lee said. “We are outraged, and every American should be too."

Bless us, Lord & give us strength as we take the food out of the mouths of malnourished children and money from seniors. Help us screw over the 🇺🇸 people and their allies. Forgive us but we’ll ignore your teachings and follow the path our own convicted felon and his Russian boss

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I know a lot of us are furious at the Dems who voted on this budget. But this brings up some good and valid points and is worth the read. A shutdown is what musk and Trump wanted. They were given their 2nd choice instead of their 1st. The proverbial rock and a hard place.

So what is the White House Home Shopping Network selling on the front lawn today?

I have a bachelor's degree in both childhood ed birth-6 and students with disabilities k-12. I have a masters in curriculum and instruction with additional credits in early literacy. I am an expert in my field, and I practice it daily. Parents should be PARTNERS in helping their child succeed.
