If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

We don't need to give the military any more money. Especially for an illegal war in Israel. We can spend that money on housing, health care, education, and infrastructure. We don't have to settle.

“You’re a U.S. senator!” Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽 This should go great

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

Charlie Kirk relentlessly mocked and belittled higher education his entire podcasting career, repeatedly calling it a "scam" - and these MAGA cultists hang a banner of his face on the Department of Education? What a disgrace. #ResistTrump

A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn’t have a budget issue—it has a values issue.

GOV. PRITZKER: “Hey Kristi Noem — don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Here’s your legacy: Corruption and chaos.”

Aren't they like the organized homeschools that have been around for years? I think children miss out on many student-teacher interactions.

Take a break from reading about Trump and war and see what he's peddling in the form of AI and schools. Compare this to what other countries are doing. #EduSky nancyebailey.com/2026/03/01/a...

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to “End Public Education as We Know It”  theintercept.com/2026/03/04/t...

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to “End Public Education as We Know It”  theintercept.com/2026/03/04/t...

In 2024, Bolts wrote about voter education on ranked-choice voting in remote areas of Alaska.

In Northwest Alaska, residents are conducting a voter education program—by snowmachine.

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

At least Carlin isn’t alive to see this.

Most anti-LGBTQ bills Strictest abortion ban medical marijuana banned Most medical bankruptcies Books banned High Gun violence High poverty Low per pupil spending Immigrants living in fear Most disenfranchised Black folks “Freest” for who, @MarshaBlackburn?

Imagine all those locked-up children need "blankies" a lot more for their trauma!

Heard her speak at the 2025 Network for Public Education meeting and couldn't have been more impressed. Even Republicans like her.

More than 1,000 Civilians Killed in U.S.-Israeli Bombing of Iran, Rights Group Says

Let’s be super clear: Just like his vouchers for private religious schools, Taxpayer-funded religious charter schools has been @GovBillLee’s plan all along. His education privatization push is about “advancing God’s kingdom”, as Betsy Devos openly said. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

this project, of course, includes preventing people at high school age or above from learning history to a more truthful or complicated degree than what's taught in grade school

Yup and this is related to Hegseth's whole thing yesterday about the military not sending people to prestigous grad schools anymore. The implication is that vets go to college and end up questioning the institutions they've been a part of

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12." Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

Good to sound the alarm about Indianapolis schools. Isn't it essential to point out that privatization is about profits as well as control? And the "disenfranchisement" is of voters, destroying democratic control of schools.

So often it starts with someone who got 5 weeks of training with Teach for America, worked a year or two, and called themselves an education expert. curmudgucation.substack.com/p/a-hurrican...

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran. I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

And Republicans got angry with Michelle Obama for stepping outside her lane by having a vegetable garden. We are, truly, living in the stupidest of times. . .

Her husband is also destroying the fabric of education that so many children depend on, America's DEMOCRATIC public schools. She is on board for AI without teachers and the Alpha Schools.

The Trump administration has unfurled banners on the Department of Education building featuring Booker T. Washington, Catharine Beecher, and Charlie Kirk. Washington and Beecher were influential figures in American education whose legacies shaped schools and teaching nationwide.

"smartphones are killing education" education has been intentionally strangled by the us government for decades, no child left behind actively forced schools to teach only to the test and that means rote memorization, the WORST way to learn ever devized this is the system working as intended

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

And the danger to schoolgirls of being bombed to death because Trump doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing?

Can someone explain to me why a giant picture of Charlie Kirk is on the Department of Education?

ProPublica has sued the U.S. Department of Education W/ @jsmithrichards.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/educ...

Siri, show me how to end the war in Iran immediately

A smart country would prioritize funding education.

Pentagon Briefing: Iran Had No Plans For A Preemptive Strike

Richard Stengel: "Well, it turns out a vote for Donald Trump was a vote to start wars not end them. No president in modern history has ordered more military attacks against as many nations as Trump. And now he's started a war in the Middle East, the exact thing he campaigned against."

It doesn't seem like people are talking enough about this...

Three Overlooked Reasons Why Children Struggle with Reading from @nancyebailey.bsky.social. All are important but we should start with #1-- and stop pushing down expectations. Remember: Finland starts the formal reading process when kids are 7 yrs old. nancyebailey.com/2026/01/11/t...

Translation: Scott Jennings thinks you’re a moron

JD Vance said there is “no chance” the US would be drawn into a lengthy war. But isn’t that what Bush thought before Iraq & LBJ before Vietnam? Wars are risky & unpredictable.The US should engage in them only if it absolutely has to. There is no reason to think this war is necessary. wapo.st/4seF5K1

Who remembers this and what happened to it, how it ended? www.cnn.com/2013/11/25/p...

When you start an illegal war to distract from the other illegal things you've done.
