The Trump administration cares about corporations–not students. Gutting the Department of Education as borrowers try to figure out their complicated loans means less support, protection, and oversight. Students need clarity. Not confusion.

Only the uneducated have contempt for education.

NEW: The independent Government Accountability Office is launching an investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. Americans deserve answers.

NEW: The DOJ appears to be contacting multiple states about overseas voting compliance ahead of the midterms, emphasizing ID verification rules that could complicate voting for Americans abroad. The revelation comes as Trump and Republican lawmakers push for broader restrictions to voting access.

An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. (Published Aug. 2025)

This is a phenomenal initiative from a group of educators, taking the National Emergency Briefing message through the education sector - equipping teachers with what they need to know about the climate & nature crisis impacting us right now. Our thanks to all involved. #NEB2025

Oh boy! What a headline... Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to believe?" "Who am I being told to blame?" Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on. Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵 1/21

Just a Friendly Reminder….

WATCH: Lindsey Burke wrote Project 2025’s chapter on education. Now she’s helping to run the Education Department. ProPublica looked at how she and other advisers are realizing their vision of a dramatic decline in public education.

Actually politicians do understand that education is power, or else they wouldn't be working so hard to limit access to education by certain groups.

Left un-checked, there will be confederate flags flying on public buildings in the South and even in D.C. within a year. Educational lessons covering slavery & the civil war have been re-written. See PragerU. It will become unacceptable to discuss alternatives. Children will not know what we know.

Th erosion of civics education makes this lesson necessary. That’s why Trump says he loves “the poorly educated.”

Instead of blaming undocumented kids for the high cost of college, how about blaming the defense contractors? How about blaming the billionaires who aren’t paying their taxes? How about blaming an economic system that has not invested in the health and education of our country?

My 12 year old on Alysa Liu- "so technically she's not only a figure skater. She's an activist. Because she fought for her rights. She said "I'm only coming back if I get to do it my way and it's fun.""

Once again: the prevailing anti-intellectualism (the blazing contempt for universities, academics, scholarship) encompasses all political parties. Not a single party has the spine to argue for universities-whether its the Liberals in Canada, or Labor in the UK or the Democrats in the US.

One thing we don’t talk about enough: the last 20Yrs of disinvestment in arts, science, & the humanities. When you strip schools of philosophy, literature , creative practice, you don’t just cut budgets. You narrow imagination. Empathy is a skill. So is critical thinking. #Momsky #Pinks

Russian oppositioner Boris Nemtsov in 2014: "Instead of focusing on building up Russia, instead of making sure Russia doesn’t die out, instead of investing in roads, education.., the regime focuses on the worst traits in humans- meanness,hatred,lies,wars" Nemtsov was killed by the Kremlin in 2015

Hegseth wants to stop officers from getting advanced education from, um, well, good schools

Plato is one of the most famous ancient philosophers of all time. He also thought there were more than 2 genders & homosexuality was normal — that's why Texas A&M wants to censor him. "How can a serious research university, an R1 university, censor Plato in a philosophy class?" — Martin Peterson

This is yet another case of government funneling money into corporations instead of people. And it costs more and produces poorer results. Maybe the solution is to include community-proposed solutions in the RFI/RFP process. Otherwise it’s just incs versus incs.

#MorningVibe Teach your children well. 💖 Kudos to Katherine Michiels School in San Francisco, CA. This is how you do it!

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line. I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Often experience? NO child whose parents, relatives, neighbors, etc are arrested, detained, deported or kidnapped emerges unscathed. And their friends, family, children and grandchildren don’t emerge unscathed. The effects and ripple effects are unimaginable.
