As outrageous as this is, it made me curious… for me, the Department of Education is just one of those things I’ve kind of always known about, but did you know that the current office and secretary was created in 1979? Under Jimmy Carter?
🤯
It’s amazing how… recent… a lot of these cabinet positions actually are:

Foreign policy…
Authoritarianism
Billionaires hoarding wealth, and slavery.
Seems so
Hm. White power? Maybe god, too, because he comes with sweet donations from congregations
I mean they literally called their campaign “the revenge tour.” There’s nothing they want to build because a fascist regime like this already has everything they need: huge amounts of capital, channels to pipe out propaganda, and hoards of mindless hate-filled followers, all of them armed to the teeth.
“What else is on the agenda” is getting rid of anything and anyone that can stand up to them.
Sigh…
Me too friend, me too.
Billionaires and making as much grifting as possible?
Likely so
If there’s nothing to hold the country together, there’s no reason for a union.
Id say money but they hate the IRS
Why wouldn’t he? He’s faced zero opposition and his base feels safe and comfortable.
Straight up just defunding schools.
Defund the police everyone goes crazy, defund the school system just another normal day.
Schools are a dangerous place for cops, what with all the guns and shootings going on.
This is going to Help with that PESKY H1-B Visa problem!
And grocery prices
This. Fuckin’. Guy.
