🚨BREAKING: Protesters just stormed the Rayburn Building during a Congressional hearing on Medicaid cuts. Chaos in the halls. Shouting, chanting, arrests threatened.
This is what happens when you try to gut healthcare for millions while pretending it’s “fiscal responsibility.”
People aren’t staying silent anymore. They’re flooding the halls of power — because these cuts aren’t about budgets, they’re about cruelty.
The Trump administration’s attempt to remove exhibits from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is a blatant attack on Black history. Erasing our past won’t change the truth. We will not be silenced. #PreserveBlackHistory
Meet Felicita, a 12-year-old girl with cerebral palsy.
Texas Lawmakers have practically admitted that Abbott’s Voucher program would allow schools to deny admission to disabled or minority children. Hear her talk about how she could be left behind:
Andrew Natsios, a Republican former administrator of USAID:
“I’m not a moderate Republican; I’m a conservative Republican…the reason they [Republicans] aren't saying anything is because they’re afraid. Musk said that he’d spend $100 million in primaries on anyone who opposes the president on anything. There’s a lot of fear in the city right now.”
Donald Trump and Elon Musk illegally canceled scholarships for 185 University of St. Thomas students training to be special education teachers because they deem it as “DEI”. They want to use this money instead to give away more tax cuts to billionaires.
Just in case some of you think I have an agenda (besides doing what’s best for all students, teachers, and schools), I asked ChatGPT: WHO would be affected the most if the Department of Education was abolished. So, here’s what AI thinks…

Climate scientist Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman) talks about leaving Los Angeles two years ago due to the risk of climate-fueled wildfires. He says the devastation unfolding in Southern California now is even worse than he feared and warns, "This is still just the beginning."
While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.
The Social Security Fairness Act is now law.
Millions of retired educators, first responders, and other public service workers will get their full Social Security—benefits they earned.
Hundreds of students from East & West high schools in Madison walked out of classes Friday and marched to the Capitol.
In reaction to the Abundant Life school shooting, students called for stronger gun control measures, increased mental health resources + an end to gun violence.
ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS…
Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill.
Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.
In 2024, educators showed the power of unity and determination. 💪 Together, we fought for—and won—better pay, smaller class sizes, improved benefits, and so much more. Check out our 2024 victories by state: https://t.co/486thhoCrb
Did you know unjust Social Security provisions have cost NEA-Retired member Martha Karlovetz over $111K in earned benefits? GPO & WEP unfairly penalize educators and public servants. It’s time to address these inequities and advocate for fairness. https://t.co/qKtLt4TrgL
