BATs is a pro-public education/social justice advocacy ACTIVIST group.
FDR said the real safeguard of Democracy is Education. Too bad the current Department of Education doesn't believe in educating everybody. They are putting our Democracy at risk.

This idiot hasn't heard a lie he won't thoughtlessly regurgitate. First, protesters are *not* being paid. Second, even if they were, you can't legally "go after" them when they have a First Amendment right to protest, a right that doesn't disappear if they are paid. Shut up for a change, Markwayne.

Major news in the California governor race: – Gavin Newsom officially endorses Xavier Becerra – Tom Steyer concedes and throws his support behind Becerra: "It would be a travesty for Steve Hilton to win the governorship, and Californians must unite behind Xavier Becerra to ensure he does not."

In the span of a few days, Pete Hegseth created 2 more major unnecessary controversies on parts of the job that should be pretty simple: He turned the D-Day commemoration ceremony into an anti-immigration speech. He removed Mormons from the list of DOD Christian denominations.

There is something happening in Texas. We are uniting Texans on one team to take back our state and take back our country. We will end 30 years of one party rule in this state and elect a Senator who is going to serve the people, not billionaire mega-donors.

Today, I questioned the DHS Secretary about Delaney Hall. He dodged, deflected, and refused to answer for the suffering inside. Delaney Hall should be shut down, and we must keep exposing the abuses happening there.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP.

This is good: Dems are moving to force Rs to vote on Trump's corrupt IRS immunity deal, now that the slush fund is in doubt. The exemption from IRS audits is getting overlooked, but it shouldn't. Dems tell me they're pushing for votes to kill it. New piece from me:

Charters and Vouchers often take the kids and our tax money for them, then throw them out. The public schools take them, teach them, and don't get the money.
