Summary
The White House is drafting an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, aligning with Trump’s long-standing pledge.
However, Congress must approve the agency’s abolition, making its passage unlikely despite GOP control. Critics, including the National Education Association, warn this move would harm students, increase costs, and weaken protections.
GOP lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to eliminate the department since its 1979 founding.
Trump also recently signed an order expanding school choice, reinforcing the Republican agenda of decentralizing education policy.
Here is a single thing that anyone should be doing, there are other resources elsewhere. But everyone should be working with their unions or forming unions at their places of work. It is surprisingly easy to do, and even MAGA people can recognize they are being fucked by capital. Unionizing the workplace is where our power lies. It is the thing that fascists have always feared. Use those unions to gain concessions from the bosses. Get higher wages, safer work environments, set schedules, etc.
Ok, here is a second idea. Feed your neighbors. Go help feed the homeless folk in your community.
Showing compassion for everyone is a radical act. Build solidarity.
Sounds like something Jesus would do. Woke idiot.

“The failure mode of clever is “asshole.”” John Scalzi
I’ve had the misfortune to know a lot of assholes in my life, and very few of them were clever. So, at very least, it’s the failure mode for a much wider staring group than the clever.
