visited the lbj library last week. so sad to look a list of the legislation passed during his term to build “the great society” that has been or is currently being dismantled by this facist regime - including head start, but also medicaid, medicare, voting rights, housing, elem and secondary ed act
The Trump administration announced on Thursday that it would move forward with a plan to eliminate hundreds of federal regulations governing Head Start, in what advocates fear is a push to gut the program aimed at helping the most impoverished young children in the U.S.
Trump Administration to Deregulate Head Start, Antipoverty Program Created Under R.F.K. Jr.’s Uncle
While administration officials say the changes will save money by lifting onerous requirements, advocates fear the anti-poverty program will be gutted.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Mamdani's city-owned grocery stores are a socialist trap | Opinion
No matter how good Zohran Mamdani makes grocery affordability sound, he's selling New Yorkers the same broken promise that has failed everywhere else.

As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.

It's deeply fucked up that we, the US, often created the conditions abroad that impelled refugees AND built our economy on the low-wage, exploitative labor of foreign-born non-whites. Now we are creating a global cohort of the dispossessed, the discarded, the returned, who have no home anywhere.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave.
The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

today i got an email from hr telling me I’m getting a really sizable and unexpected raise… then after my work day ended I got a correction to that email. turns out i’m getting less than half of what they said. so now instead of being excited i’m getting a raise i wasn’t expecting, i’m disappointed.

In bad news, with disability education oversight being moved to the Department of Health and Human Services from the Department of Education, that means Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have power over disability policy positions. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. will oversee disability education policy
The dismantling of the Department of Education continues apace.
