Look how cute Ruby is! Also, they are planning to just get rid of the department of education this week. All federal protections for students with IEPs and 504 plans will be gone bc there will be one to enforce them. Our civil rights destroyed. Fight back.

Russ Vought devised these illegal holds on funding for disaster relief, medical research, student aid, child care, and nutrition, as well as purges of the federal workforce. If confirmed as OMB Director he’ll keep this up for four years. The Senate should reject his nomination.

I’ve avoided tweeting about the white supremacist massacre so not to dishonor the dead in anyway. But I keep obsessing over the constant drumbeat of the last year abt the dangers of CRT when the literal violent danger of the white supremacy CRT exposes has been downplayed/denied.

A few weeks ago, parents, activists and educators in a red state where Republicans hold a legislative supermajority successfully beat back an anti-history (CRT) law, & yet I saw no national coverage of it at all. This says something important about media.
