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.

RIP WaPo.

- No kidding. This is our American cultural revolution: Fire the educated workforce from the government; shut down journalism; threaten universities & schools; control access to healthcare; restructure the constitution by fiat; put in place military & militarized police to enforce all of it.

- Reposted by Valerie JablowQuick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍
- You need to listen to every second of this.

- Reposted by Valerie JablowSeems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

- Reposted by Valerie JablowThey told us there was no money for healthcare. No money for kids. No money for families drowning in medical bills. But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem. Fund care, not punishment. #FundHealthcareOverICE
- Naturally, they would gather to celebrate a traitor, not democracy.
- I’m sorry, what? www.yahoo.com/news/article...
- Reposted by Valerie JablowConfused? Let me help make sense of this. The American right’s claims about any constitutional rights only apply to them. There. Now you perfectly understand their claims on gun rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.
- Reposted by Valerie JablowLiam made people look. Now don’t look away. We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive. #FreeTheChildren
- Good.

It's about to get much worse A planned op this week in Springfield, Ohio targeting hard-working Haitians who came here the right way is nothing less than an ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

- Nothing to see here.
- I'm at the Willard Hotel where I've been denied entry and kicked out of the Reclaiming Science event with NIH director Bhattacharya & other top agency leaders. @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social and I registered for the event months ago yet were told capacity was full, even as they let in dozens of others.

- President Miller.
- ROLLING STONE: “The damage from Miller’s grand designs are plain for all to see. Americans’ mistrust and hyper-partisanship has grown only more poisonous. The country feels like a tinder box and Miller, and ICE are running around with lit matches.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
- Reposted by Valerie JablowToday I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps
- Reposted by Valerie JablowEpstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
- The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
- Reposted by Valerie JablowICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

- ENOUGH: We the people are funding this "investigation" and at least one of the people in these files is currently being paid by we the people--so we the people have a RIGHT to know everything here AND we are grown up enough to know it. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov
