American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten breaks down how Trump’s plan to abolish the Department of Education is an attack on America’s future.
Ignorant people are easy to fool, lie to, and manipulate. It doesn’t serve the Republican’s interest to have well educated people who check facts and think for themselves.
It’s in our country’s best interest to stop them, defeat them, and indict them.
Trump told them he was going to abolish the Dept of Ed. He’s not doing anything he didn’t tell them he would do! He didn’t hide it & u still voted for him. U just thought..he’ll do it to other people..he won’t do it to me!
I think those young people let their emotions guide them to vote as they did. They were passionate about what was happening to the Palestinian people. Much like what happened back in the 60’s with the Vietnam war. They truly voted to punish not factoring in how dangerous the orange idiot was bc they didn’t really pay attention to who Trump was. Well..they..are finding out!
I was shocked to find out the amount of young people that voted for tRump. My daughter is 22 now, and with some of her friends it’s their first time voting. Her boyfriend’s Latino and his family came here from Mexico. One reason he gave was the deportation of “illegals” that didn’t come over legally like his family did. I asked my daughter if he realizes that tRump hates him, too. It doesn’t matter his immigration status; he’s not white. Also, the younger generations don’t remember the Cold War or tRump’s liking for Putin.
Not just the young people. The Muslims of Dearborn, Michigan voted against their own interests. How in the world did they forget his first action in 2017 was the Muslim Ban.
A large number of those in Dearborn and Michigan did what y'all could have done and saved us: voted for the Green Party, not trump. Sadly even the educated still think we should have a 2party system. How is that working for you? Neither party cares about you really. They both cater and cower to their donors, corporations and AIPAC. Green Party doesn't have PAC's or corporate donors and limit individual contributions...as they all should. We don't have a democracy. We have to step outside our blind obedience to just two parties. And that's why the Dems especially do all they can to make it hard to vote 3rd party. Also Dems promise a lot and don't deliver, just point fingers at the other party. Repubs tell you exactly what they'll do and people still vote for them. Wake up folks!
It's pretty ironic that the person they voted for, if they voted at all, is now ready to relocate the Palestinians and take over Gaza. Oh, and he's still sending weapons to Netanyahu. It's sad.
Sadly, you are correct. Tho, I am, most impressed by an 18-yr-old younger who wors at a Wendy's where i often go for a frosty. He's really analytical and saw all of this--but he wasn't yet 18 in November 2024, so he could not vote for Harris.
Not just the young people. The Muslims of Dearborn, Michigan voted against their own interests. How in the world did they forget his first action in 2017 was the Muslim Ban.
Young people voted against Biden to get back at the & Dem for not doing enough for the Palestinians. So to get back..they vote for Trump who wants to make Gaza a place for the rich to vacation! That really worked out for the Palestinians & those young people! 🤦♀️
He is truly illiterate. I’ve seen too many clear examples of his fidgeting like a third grader, to avoid reading something he knew he couldn’t. It is one of the most amazing facts of the modern world.
I believe Prime Minister Starmer knew he couldn’t read, and brought him the king’s letter to expose that fact. His illiteracy is to such a level that he could not determine from studying it, that the letter was an invitation to visit. He was forced to ask Starmer to tell him what it says. It was a monumental event that was simply dismissed by the legacy media. Watch it, it is obvious.
Every single time I hear or read "I didn't vote for that" I am reminded of how gullible MAGA voters are. Trump literally told them to their faces and they chose purposeful blind ignorance. Yes, they did vote for everything that's happening. They just didn't think it would affect them, they thought it would only affect the "crying libs".
Well, I lay all of this crap that is happening, has happened and will happen at MAGA feet. Yes, many millions (too many) chose not to vote and this is on them too but MAGA purposely chose to and continues to choose blind ignorance because they don't have the balls necessary to step up and help correct such an egregious wrong that they are so incredible responsible for.
It's not too late to fix some of this if we actually work together. Better to do it now than to "sit back and see what happens" as I've been told by a couple of MAGA voters.
I think some of them nay be starting to see? Think about those Republican town halls over the past weeks. Those we not Dem plants. Those were dyed-in-the-red-wool Republicans being v angry abt how cuts hurting them.
I do think it's possible some of them are starting to wake up. The sad thing is it's only because things are starting to affect them and they thought they were going to be protected. Regardless, if they are:
Maybe they'll start to reevaluate & reaearch to not make the same mistake again?
Maybe they'll listen to what's being told to them?
Maybe they'll understand that we weren't crying wolf?
Maybe they can start to positively affect other MAGA hearts, at least some of them, to understand what is happening?
It's very challenging to believe they are/have changed. The big question is (at least for me atm) is it too late even if a good amount of MAGA start to fight back?
What I hear is them saying they didn't vote for that, but not being honest about what they knew damn well they were voting for & wouldn't admit, racism, misogyny, etc. They didn't think it would affect them because they consider themselves superior. And, even when they are seeing what they don't want now, I don't see them having a come to Jesus moment & starting to do the right thing. How do you go from having, basically, no ethical grounding to standing with personal accountability & the idea of all humans deserving opportunity? I've seen a lot in my time, but nothing that ever showed me how much people were lying about being a part of our liberal consensus. They've betrayal the foundation of trust that our country has been built on, that hard work & being honest pays off.
The oval office take down of Zelenski was pure WWE theater, Jon Stewart did a thing on it. I thought it was weird Netflix promoted a WWE movie right out of the gate...apparently it is part of the whole reality show government strategy. Man, it's messed up.
How can ignorant Americans "Make America Great Again"? THEY CAN'T! It's all a massive fraud. If we made community college and trade school free to high school graduates, that would go a long way to a highly functional nation. By the time a student is preparing for their junior year in college, they are pretty sure if they are or are not going to complete their 4 year degree. Even if we can't make a 4 year degree free, if the student didn't start making a financial commitment until they complete an associate degree, think of all the people who wouldn't be in educational debt today. Let's make our country more educated, instead of plopping a red hat and no opportunities to advance on their heads.
Another thing is how could anyone TRUST Trump when he cheated twice that we know of on his wife, did not PAY people who did work for him, had a phony university that people paid a lot of money to attend, convicted on 34 felony counts, many of his businesses went into bankruptcy and Cheated on his income tax!!!! How could ANYONE TRUST HIM🥶
By seeing him for what they want him to be, and refusing to find out what he really is - a venal, corrupt and deeply troubled individual who shouldn't be trusted to predict whether the sun is going to rise tomorrow.
I don't think most of the people who voted for Trump knew any of that stuff about him, except the 34 felony counts which they believed he didn't deserve.
Ret. Teacher here, I can attest! Randi’s the absolute best! She’s for kids, teachers, families, communities, states, country, and the world. And she’s fair across the board!
Trump said he was gonna get rid of the education dept. it’s like people only hear what they want to hear, don’t hear at all, or better yet don’t take the time to do the research on the candidate they are planning on voting for in the election. He never hid that away. If anyone wouldn’t think he’d cut their throats, they might want to think again.
When, oh when, will our duly elected, taxpayer funded legislators get their act together and stop this insanity. I don't care if D or R: stop this wholesale destruction!!! They know better. Take frickin' charge of Congress and focus on the best interests of America NOT on tRump's fragile ego.
Ignorant people are easy to fool, lie to, and manipulate. It doesn’t serve the Republican’s interest to have well educated people who check facts and think for themselves.
It’s in our country’s best interest to stop them, defeat them, and indict them.
Too bad it was the young, Gen Z, who voted unexpectedly for Trump. I had high hopes for them before that.
BINGO
Perfectly stated.
Trump told them he was going to abolish the Dept of Ed. He’s not doing anything he didn’t tell them he would do! He didn’t hide it & u still voted for him. U just thought..he’ll do it to other people..he won’t do it to me!
Well, that's what comes when you don't have a decent education - and never learn how to apply critical thinking skills!
I think those young people let their emotions guide them to vote as they did. They were passionate about what was happening to the Palestinian people. Much like what happened back in the 60’s with the Vietnam war. They truly voted to punish not factoring in how dangerous the orange idiot was bc they didn’t really pay attention to who Trump was.

Yes, you are so right. It is the color of their skin, and not the content of their character.
Not just the young people. The Muslims of Dearborn, Michigan voted against their own interests. How in the world did they forget his first action in 2017 was the Muslim Ban.

As my grandmother used to say, "I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole"
It's pretty ironic that the person they voted for, if they voted at all, is now ready to relocate the Palestinians and take over Gaza. Oh, and he's still sending weapons to Netanyahu. It's sad.

It's FAFO time.
Young people voted against Biden to get back at the & Dem for not doing enough for the Palestinians. So to get back..they vote for Trump who wants to make Gaza a place for the rich to vacation! That really worked out for the Palestinians & those young people! 🤦♀️
FA and FO
Who would’ve thought that the illiterate president would be killing the Department of education?
Who's illiterate? Didn't he tell his supporters that in 1775, the Continental Army captured all the forts and air bases?
He is truly illiterate. I’ve seen too many clear examples of his fidgeting like a third grader, to avoid reading something he knew he couldn’t. It is one of the most amazing facts of the modern world.
He never actually was educated. Papa Fred bought litl Trumpie thru miltary school and both Forham and UPenn.
I believe Prime Minister Starmer knew he couldn’t read, and brought him the king’s letter to expose that fact. His illiteracy is to such a level that he could not determine from studying it, that the letter was an invitation to visit. He was forced to ask Starmer to tell him what it says. It was a monumental event that was simply dismissed by the legacy media. Watch it, it is obvious.
😂😂
This is Trump’s revenge for his scam university was exposed as failure
His so-called Uni never would have rec'd DOE funds.
Remember, tRump did say he loves the poorly educated. Those are the ones that vote for him!
“NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE EDUCATION YOU NEED TO OVERTHROW THEM.” Charles Schulz 🥲
Probably true!
Every single time I hear or read "I didn't vote for that" I am reminded of how gullible MAGA voters are. Trump literally told them to their faces and they chose purposeful blind ignorance.

Yet they still support him, are they mentally ill , illiterate what is it???🤦🏾♀️☹️

You hit the nail on the head!!!
Linda McMahon has NO business in education. He is a racist and wants low quality education so he puts her in the spot. WTF?
What? Having a background in wrestling promotion isn't good prep for running the DOE?
The oval office take down of Zelenski was pure WWE theater, Jon Stewart did a thing on it. I thought it was weird Netflix promoted a WWE movie right out of the gate...apparently it is part of the whole reality show government strategy. Man, it's messed up.

Since Trump is INSISTING ON DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY, WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING RID OF HIM!!!!! DUH DUH🥶
Another thing is how could anyone TRUST Trump when he cheated twice that we know of on his wife, did not PAY people who did work for him, had a phony university that people paid a lot of money to attend, convicted on 34 felony counts, many of his businesses went into bankruptcy and Cheated on his income tax!!!!

Retired teacher here too. ☺️
🙏🏼 to those that are still in public education.
Trump said he was gonna get rid of the education dept. it’s like people only hear what they want to hear, don’t hear at all, or better yet don’t take the time to do the research on the candidate they are planning on voting for in the election.

Yes, yes, yes🤬
I read they are scared. 😭
They are trying to finish the job the Bush family started in the 80’s.
Thanks for putting a spot light on the Education Department. So many things it does for all of us.
KEEP FIGHTING.
(US STUDENTS ARE NOT WELL REGARDED IN EUROPE UNIVERSITIES AND IF THE EMPEROR OF LIES GETS AWAY WITH THIS MAD PLAN... IMAGINÉ ?????
Stealing everything!
