They’re trying to make “low earning degrees” impossible to pursue, btw. Their department of education is such a joke.

I sat down in the shed with Katie Porter and we talked about what it was like to be the first Democrat to hold her congressional seat in 75 years while also being a single mom raising 3 kids and healing from a divorce she hasn't talked about publicly in 8 years. youtu.be/X2rpzPridR8

BREAKING-ish: If 8 Republican AGs (TX, FL, AK, KS, LA, MO, MT, SD) win a case they filed today, Section 504 plans will end as we know them...and it will remove the federal protection against unnecessary institutionalization. I wish I was being dramatic.

I get asked a lot “what do teachers want for teacher appreciation?” I’m gonna tell you the truth. The best gift I ever got was COLD. HARD. CASH. $5-$20 from every parent in the class of 27. I was so happy. “We can’t give money!” “We can’t accept cash” Listen. I said what I said.

The Comstock Act allowed the government to weaponize the mail service and reach into the most private corners of people’s lives, declare knowledge immoral, and punish anyone who tried to access it.

Soooooo sorry for not having enough thoughts and prayers right now. They got knocked outta me after years of having 4-6-year-olds practice lockdown drills while I gave them lollipops to keep them quiet & read stories to keep them calm while knowing I would die if a gunman ever actually came in.

I feel like there’s a step between “hosting events at an unsecured hotel” and “building a $400 million dollar ballroom” but what do I know

Alright let's see that funding plan for every school's brand new bulletproof ballroom!

Bulletproof glass! Bulletproof backpacks! Bulletproof safe rooms! Bulletproof ballrooms! Literally ANYTHING BUT GUN CONTROL!

Wah wah I thought you wanted to arm teachers?! What happened?!?!?!

What secret service needed was a good teacher with a gun to stop the bad teacher with a gun.

You guys, they didn’t have metal detectors at the hotel because they didn’t need them! They had everyone think and/or pray on their way in.

MAGAts saying “we should arm teachers” in one breath and then calling teachers radicalized in the next. Those freaks will stop at nothing to pin anything on teachers.

The U.S. Department of Justice has (once again) delayed enforcement of its new disability access rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the one that requires public schools and colleges to make all digital content accessible.)

LAUSD has voted to limit classroom screen time, ban devices for the youngest kids, & block things like YouTube on school laptops. This is a huge pivot for the district which didn’t have districtwide limits on student screen time before. We can expect to see other districts in SoCal follow suit.

The Supreme Court is going to hear a case that could decide whether preschools using public tax dollars can reject LGBTQIA+ families the way private preschools are allowed to.

Texas is heading toward a final board vote on whether to embed Bible passages into the “official reading list” tied to its state reading standards for public schools (This is not Bluebonnet - that’s optional curriculum).

Yes, Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned over misconduct allegations (relationship with a subordinate…reports of drinking on the job…etc). This is who they had overseeing pieces of the U.S. Department of Education!! And they are in the process of sending even more over there!

Listen. You can feel whatever you feel about Katie Porter. But if you’re gonna make mashed potato quips, I’d suggest checking this out: www.huffpost.com/entry/candid...

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

By the way: Eric sent those cease & desists in response to being asked for comment on the CNN story. He had his lawyer TEXT cease & desists to the WOMEN SAYING HE RAPED THEM in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. They were not named! That’s the weirdest response to a request to comment that I’ve ever heard.

THIS is what we have been working on. Please take care when reading. www.cnn.com/2026/04/10/u...

Why I couldn’t stay quiet when I learned of the allegations against Congressman Eric Swalwell: youtu.be/BAMHEsshU80

BREAKING: The California Teachers Association has withdrawn their endorsement of Eric Swalwell as sexual assault allegations emerge.

i-Ready is being sued, but NOT over whether or not it works... A 2025 class action alleges it collects and shares student data without meaningful parental consent. What's new: A judge has to decide whether the case survives a motion to dismiss. Stay tuned to see if this moves forward!

If Swalwell made you or someone you know sign an NDA or settlement agreement, email [email protected] We have a lawyer for you. You will be anonymous. You are not the only one.

BREAKING Education News: North Carolina has ended a 30-year lawsuit over underfunded public schools. Courts had ALREADY ruled the state was failing students (especially in low-income districts) and ordered hundreds of millions in funding fixes.

Teachers are told to buy their own pencils and limit printing while Republicans want to give each of them a gun and replace them with a humanoid robot.

I can't find Linda's CPAC speech anywhere, but... WHO IS THAT?!?! 🤣

The Department of Education is moving the $1.7T student loan system to Treasury + firing so many people, they can't provide oversight of student loan companies + they are rolling out and ending repayment plans willy nilly + they aren't explaining it well at ALL.

It’s kinda crazy how many Dem politicians are able to say “Trump bad” and everyone cheers. Like, ok yeah…but y’all can’t just employ that strategy EVERY SINGLE time someone questions you or says something you don’t like 😂

Melania Trump can rolled out a humanoid robot at the White House talking about how it could be a teacher??? These people are delusional. Source: www.reuters.com/world/us/rob...

Ohhhhhh Chino Valley Unified School District…………tell me everything about your school board. Text 2028476577

Since USC is excluding California Governor candidate and CA State Superintendent Tony Thurmond from the gubernatorial debate tomorrow, I invited him to go live with me instead! He will be answering the questions candidates are asked on the debate stage! 5 PM Pacific, See you there! ⬇️

I disagree with anyone who thinks Katie Porter can’t lead California because she had a reputation of being mean. She has apologized for it and I’ve spoken with her about this and I believe that if elected, she will channel her bitchery accordingly. Frankly, it’s time we had a bitch in charge.

Can’t pick one at this point but I’m very comfortable saying my endorsements for CA Gov are Tony Thurmond and Katie Porter.

BREAKING EDUCATION NEWS: Federal student loans are being moved out of the U.S. Department of Education to the Treasury Department BUT this is not fully implemented and may face legal challenges.

Shocking to no one: A new Gallup report found that 21% of teachers are struggling financially, more than half are barely getting by, and one in three works a second job during the school year. Source: news.gallup.com/poll/702599/...

California's top-two "jungle" primary system with no ranked choice voting is the shittiest election combo.

The U.S. Department of Education has posted this AI generated image to their Instagram. It appears to show a Bible laying on a desk in an elementary school classroom with an American flag stuck in it. It says “Make America Read Again”

You can’t intimidate me

It DEEPLY bothers me that everyone on the hill knows which elected officials have slept with their 20-year-old staffers over and over again, but the reaction is like, ..."meh! that's men in D.C. for ya!" and then go on to endorse them in other races. ????????

The first 34 seconds of this are muted because they don't want you to know how horrible the lady on this school board is! But never fear, the video is 1.5 hours long 😈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKcH...

Oh, Placenta-Yorba Linda Unified School District… your deep dive and watch party has arrived: youtu.be/OKcHSc0ImJI Eat your heart out, Leandra! All my love to the PYLUSD fighters!!!

Every week on Friday, I wait expectantly to see what education-related bullshit drops at or after 7 PM Eastern. (Nothing yet but this is a pattern)
