The Department of Education is one of the most important institutions in our country. Its elimination will turn us back decades, with the goal of whitewashing history, normalizing slavery, J6 & erasing Pride, Juneteenth and MLK as national holidays.
It’s gross negligence.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government.
This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

So let’s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU.
It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so there’s that.
