Face it. ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should. It is time to defund ICE! Repost if you agree #BlueCrew

Every Supt. of a school system in this nation should be releasing a statement similar to that of @lausdsup.bsky.social. 🏷️ @aasa.org I call on national leaders to stand up for what every child in America deserves: a strong, healthy start and an equal shot at success. Join me!
The federal government's recent restrictions to Head Start and other early childhood programs are not only deeply troubling-they are a direct threat to the well-being and future of our nation's most vulnerable children.
At Los Angeles Unified, we know that programs like Head Start provide far more than academic preparation; they deliver essential health care, nutrition, and family support. For many children and families, these services are irreplaceable.
Restricting access to these programs for our most vulnerable students will widen opportunity gaps, weaken families, and undermine decades of progress in educational equity. These are not just budget cuts; they are moral and social failures.
We call on national leaders to reject these dangerous changes and stand up for what every child in America deserves: a strong, healthy start and an equal shot at success.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
