If Beauchamp is even half right, I think that education will remain a policy backwater for Dems at the federal level. Now, at the state level, it might be very different . . .

Back then, the Dems were very much focused on policy. But we're in the upside down now, and the liberal-left thinkers who will supply the next Dem administration with proposals are much more focused on rebuilding the infrastructure of small d democratic government than on specific policy areas.

A little far afield from the original question, but look at this article and compare it with what the Obamanians were focused on (not just in education) in 2006-7. bsky.app/profile/vox....

I think a more interesting question than what happens in the wake of the midterms is which institutions and leaders are doing the spadework to build out a credible Dem federal education agenda for a presidential candidate to adopt? Who will be this cycle's Jon Schnur, Robert Gordon et al.?

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

OK. I'll bite. I do not think it will mean much one way or the other for education policy for the next two years. But if the Dems can stop "immigration" raids on or near schools, that will certainly improve conditions for learning in the schools that are being targeted.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Trump's continued attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social the Somali American community, & our Muslim neighbors are a heinous attempt to distract from his complete & utter failure as president. Every American should be chilled to the bone: these are the actions of a dictatorship not a democracy.

Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home
 The search appears to be the type of action that law enforcement officials typically avoided so close to an election in the past.

A new IWPR report confirms that college-educated Black women are more likely to lead in government than in companies. Which is why the DOGE cuts that slashed federal jobs have been particularly devastating for college-educated Black women. #blacksky

Come to think of it, there is a passing resemblance between DOGE and perestroika. True, Gorbachev was ultimately a humane (albeit misguided) leader and Elon is a white nationalist oligarch. But there are good reasons why the Russians came to call it katastroika.
