DC resident & former DCPS parent who started educationdc.net in 2015 because there was too little media coverage of public education issues in DC--and lots of right-wing ed reform propaganda about the same.

This is the scene outside Bard high school this morning — FBI agents and armed soldiers acting as if children going to school on a Friday morning is some national security threat.

Maybe they can hold her second execution in front of the Supreme Court, which thought her first execution was all fine and dandy.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Gosh, if only there were some kind of professional organization for White House journalists that existed to advocate for the First Amendment and defend the freedom of the press. They could organize together as a united front against Trump's censorship. That would be something.
