This seems like a good time to re-up this article www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.

Elon Musk is officially out at DOGE, but the mission is still alive. After the sloppy Musk-led approach backfired politically and legally, the Trump Admin is moving to a more methodical gutting of agencies led by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.

I did not believe this pic was actually real, but it is in fact a real photo on the Reuters wire www.reutersconnect.com/item/us-nati...

This is the GOP’s plan for schools once they destroy the Department of Education: push kids into low-wage labor, kill critical thinking, and let the wealthy profit off a powerless workforce. Listen in as former Sec of Education Betsy DeVos explains 👇

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Trump Education Department decimates office serving 5 million English learners in public schools https://www.chalkbeat.org/2025/03/21/trump-education-department-dismantles-office-for-students-learning-english/

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Destroying the Department of Education will hurt all students, sending class sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making college more expensive for middle class families, and taking away special education services—just to start. Don't let it happen. Join us in taking action ⬇️

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information. The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

Definitely how you behave when you’re doing something legal

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

ICYMI: Elon Musk's DOGE team was at the Dept. of Education yesterday, dismantling and shutting down programs, canceling contracts and grants at will. Dem Rep. Melanie Stansbury warned the dept "is going to potentially be dissolved in the coming days." www.huffpost.com/entry/melani...

NOW would be a great time to have a VERY PUBLIC and VERY LOUD response from Congressional Democrats on Elon Musk's unchecked takeover of our federal government...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

Exactly!!!! 👇🏽

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Tell your Dept of Education you want the same: NC, PA, NJ, NY, CT, CA, MA, DE. Call you Gov’s or State Ed Depts and tell them you want this. Teachers’ unions likewise. @rweingarten.bsky.social Teachers & school administrators need to know what to do.

A crucial skill for students and adults alike. Far too many adults share misinformation without checking the facts.

Hoping @bsky.app is a fun, positive & productive social space🤗
