Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

The world is watching as the Republicans burn down our democracy.
“Washington has become the court of Nero,” Senator Claude Malhuret declared before the French Parliament this week. His speech, whose dark urgency and stark rhetorical force made it a social-media sensation, has been translated and adapted by The Atlantic:
Trump Is Nero While Washington Burns
‘Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you.’

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:
Democrats Are Acting Too Normal
In her response to Trump’s address, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin failed to capture the hallucinatory nature of our national politics.

Is there anything swampier than clearing the path to more bribes and corruption? America looking more and more like Russia every day…
Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

DON’T crawl under a rock for the next for years, as tempting as it may be.
But DO take a break from the news cycle when you need one.
One way to do that: go where cell reception doesn’t reach! 🏕️
