There's good conversation going on over there. 🙂Connect on: https://t.co/VbbsOR56S6

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

We must overturn Citizens United.

Every day, it corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Abolishing the Dept. of Education would be devastating to our nation's students — and our teachers.

MAGA Republicans have been waging a war on public school teachers for years.

They want public schools to fail so they can pour the money into private, for-profit schools.

We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history.

I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward.

Here are my thoughts:

We have poor children in public schools, and they're not all Democrats, and most of their parents don't want vouchers. https://t.co/VrD1Us8gxt

TRUMP: "You said hazardous waste - what is that? You have to define it. Are we gonna go through a whole series of questioning on defining it?" Here's a report to read. https://t.co/nxBjR1c8da

Aren't those properties dangerous? The melted metals and asbestos make for a toxic soup. Shouldn't there be some rules to protect property owners?

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: LA Mayor Karen Bass and Trump with a very tense exchange now... Bass is losing her cool over insistence from community members and Trump who say that clearly, people aren't being allowed back on their property soon enough.

TRUMP: People are willing to clean up themselves.

BASS: They can.

TRUMP: That guy right there that's talking - he'll be there tonight, throwing everything away. He doesn't want to wait. You have emergency powers just like I do. You need to exercise them.

BASS: I DID exercise them.

TRUMP: You can do everything within 24 hours.

BASS: Individuals can clear out their property.

ATTENDEES: When can we go back to our home?

BASS: We think... within a week.

TRUMP: That is a long time.

BASS: We want people to be safe.

TRUMP: You know what? They're not safe now. A week is a long time. I see hundreds of people not allowed to go on their lots. It won't burn anymore... it's done. They want to clean up. They are just standing there, saying they need a permit. Everyone says 18 months.

Worry about children who may be exposed to these harmful chemicals.

West Virginia is shuttering its public schools. Seven schools will close in the next few years due to declining enrollment, joining the 53 that closed in the past five years and 25 more public schools are proposed to close. https://t.co/UZoPsUkHhM #Privatization

Great advice from @nancyebailey1. "This holiday season, give children the gift of reading. One of the best ways to do that is to relieve the pressure of insisting they read early." Make Kindergarten Kindergarten Again. #LetThemPlay https://t.co/tBKxfN3ejT

Shutting the Department of Education down raises HUGE concerns about IDEA & the rights of children with disabilities. https://t.co/JAcMqf1qSC

@gshsmathmom @rpondiscio I wrote this post. https://t.co/JAcMqf1qSC

[Nancy E. Bailey @NancyEBailey1]

@gshsmathmom @rpondiscio Why do you think that is? And not everywhere (see below). DOE needs to keep tabs on whether states follow IDEA and kids get the services they need! https://t.co/Jsh6sq6Wj2

[Nancy E. Bailey @NancyEBailey1]

@gshsmathmom @rpondiscio DOE needs to improve but not be dismantled.

[Nancy E. Bailey @NancyEBailey1]

@gshsmathmom @rpondiscio If you have services now, maybe you should thank the DOE.

[Nancy E. Bailey @NancyEBailey1]

@gshsmathmom @rpondiscio Maybe you missed this. https://t.co/wU11mCWf9e
