The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Oh, a what now????? There's a "Russian-owned" steel plant in the US making armoured vehicles for the US military. And apparently, they have been falsifying the efficacy of the amour meant to protect US soldiers and our allies.

Congress's silence on Trump's desire to annex Canada, a long-term ally, is so damning on both legal and moral levels. The utter lack of vocal opposition is either tacit approval or political fear. Maybe even both.

A novel tactic from a novel source: @raskin.house.gov is organizing folks to send Privacy Act requests to DOGE w/a pre-filled form. "DOGE...has an obligation to respond to specific demands from any of the 340 million U.S. citizens who exercise their legal right" jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

If they can bring down the US Department of Education, they will be emboldened to bring down your state department of education, your local school board. The target is public education itself, folks.

During his first term Trump asked if the military could “beat the f*ck out” of protesters “Crack their skulls” Or “shoot them in the leg” He was told it’s unconstitutional But now-buoyed with a Supreme Court decision which gives him broad immunity He’s looking for a new way to get his wish

🧪The entire staff of the Department of Education’s NCES-a vital independent statistical agency - has just been RIFed. The continued erasure of data and evidence allows for the Trump administration to hide the impact of their corruption. #EduSky #Scisky @aeraedresearch.bsky.social @cossa.bsky.social

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Nearly 13 million people in the U.S. hold green cards. Tens of thousands more are here temporarily as foreign students and professors. All are now in danger of being arrested by the Trump regime if they exercise their First Amendment rights.
