Senator Bo Watson’s solution to educating all the kids he wants to kick out of public school was for nonprofits and churches to start schools. Kinda hard to do when they also want to charge us with human smuggling. Make it make sense. #tnleg

Schools are more than just where kids learn, they are foundational to our growth and wellbeing. But now, TN lawmakers want to kick children out of school because of where they are born or how they got here. Help stop this race to the bottom before it’s too late. www.educationforalltn.org/email?ms=TV

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”
The Great Resegregation
The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

A lot of executive orders were signed today, but none of those are doing anything to lower the prices of groceries, gas, or housing. Don’t let them fool you, this isn’t about working people, it’s about lining the pocketbooks of private prisons and billionaires.
