Sending Department of Education services to the Department of Labor is wild.
They are seeking to create a generation of uneducated, obedient, laborers for their work camps.

I’m a Black higher ed lawyer, formerly in-house counsel at Harvard and top expert on Project 2025.
This is Project 2025 in action, dismantling the Department of Education; no Congressional approval, no public comment periods, nothing.
No coming back from this, folks. It didn’t have to be this way.

If you feel a need to inform Black people you’re our “ally,” you can be sure we don’t see you as one.
If you’re a white ally to Black people, Black people will make that abundantly clear.
Again, if lots of both known and stranger Black folks aren’t telling you you’re our ally—you aren’t. We choose.

Good to see you, Jill!
Remember a while back on Twitter, when you said you hoped Gaza gets “leveled to dust,” right before you blocked me? I do!
You’ll block me here, now, like you did then—but I figure I’d let folks know how you really feel about Trump allowing, encouraging Palestine’s decimation.

Acts of political violence are characteristic of authoritarian regimes and dictatorships – not strong democracies.
Violence of any kind has no place in our society and we must all condemn it. Especially when it comes from the President.

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.
