Why do we have a Drug Enforcement Agency and a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives? Are states really too stupid to be trusted to enforce their own laws? It seems to me like a waste of taxpayers' money, not to mention lives in need of medications...

MAGA chud Asra Nomani and the "Pearl Project" have assembled a detailed spreadsheet of information about the roughly 300 "financial backers" of the "Hate America Protests" today. Includes but not limited to:

- #ACLU
- #Indivisible
- #AFL / #CIO
- Teachers unions (#AAUP, #AFT, etc.)
- Engineers unions (#IFPTE, etc.)
- Healthcare unions (nurses etc)
- #DNC / #Democrats
- Atheist groups (#FFRF etc)
- #WomensMarch
- #Greenpeace

these groups will all be targeted soon. you should expect all these groups to be attacked and many of them to be destroyed via tax audits or similar in the next few years

This is a naked PR move for #LLM-based #AI companies. It will normalize the use of LLMs in the classroom and enable them to market themselves to children.

Tech companies make deals with school districts, but the difference here is that the product they're selling is cognitive offloading.

I have no idea what teachers will gain by going to this "training center" other than indoctrination. The head of the #AFT should be put in timeout to think about what she’s done.

Heather Cox Richardson 7/6/25
LARGEST ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN U.S. HISTORY
Trump brownshirts

Heather Cox Richardson 7/6/25 LARGEST ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN U.S. HISTORY Trump brownshirts What the law does do, though, is pour $170.7 billion into immigration enforcement—more than the military budgets of all but fifteen countries. The law provides $51.6 billion to build a wall on the border, more than three times what Trump spent on the wall in his first term. It provides $45 billion for detention facilities for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an increase of 265% in ICE's annual detention budget. It provides $29.9 billion for ICE enforcement, a threefold increase in ICE's annual budget. According to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council, the law gives ICE more funding than the Federal Bureau of Investigations; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; U.S. Marshals Service; and Bureau of Prisons combined. In fact, Reichlin-Melnick told Democracy Now!, the law will make ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency “in the history of the nation.” And now, with the MAGA Republican political realignment in place, we wait to see whether it delivers the golden age Trump and his MAGA loyalists promise. The early signs are not auspicious.

#Teachers sue #Trump admin for stopping affordable #StudentLoan repayment plans

The American Federation of Teachers represents 1.8 million educators.

By Leah Sarnoff, March 19, 2025

"One of America's largest unions is taking aim at President Donald Trump's administration for shutting down access to affordable student loan repayment plans -- saying the decision is 'effectively breaking' the system.

"The American Federation of Teachers (#AFT), representing 1.8 million educators across the country, filed a lawsuit against the #DepartmentOfEducation in Washington, D.C., hoping to restore the programs that have now been shuttered for three weeks.

"The filing alleges the administration halting the application process for all Income-Driven Repayment (#IDR) plans and ordering student loan servicers to stop all processing violates #FederalLaw.

"AFT sued the United States Department of Education (ED) for effectively breaking the student loan system, denying borrowers' access to affordable loan payments and blocking progress towards Public Service Loan Forgiveness (#PSLF), in violation of federal law,' the union said in a statement Wednesday."

Thanks for sharing this! I joined this site in late 2023 and love seeing the continued discussion.

The (#UAW) are calling for a nationwide on May 1, 2028, .

Did you know the (#AFT) aligned their contract expiration for the same date? They passed a resolution in July 2024.

With 1.8 million members in 2024, AFT is the second-largest teachers' union in the U.S.
