mr "i love the poorly educated" is trying to make all americans poorly educated
department of education
stable genius's war on education continues, with a new executive order aimed at gutting the Department of Education because, apparently, an informed public is just too dangerous. The plan? Strip away anything not explicitly mandated by law—because who needs pesky things like civil rights enforcement, student loan oversight, or, you know, actual education policy? After all, if kids stop learning history, they might not notice when it's repeating itself.

In the land of the free market, 22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht faced a choice: pay $539 for his asthma inhaler or cover his rent. After his insurance provider, OptumRx, reclassified his medication without notice, the inhaler's price skyrocketed from $66 to over $500, leaving Cole unable to afford it. Days later, he suffered a fatal asthma attack. Now, his family is suing OptumRx and Walgreens for failing to inform him of the change, denying him the chance to seek alternatives. Because in America, life-saving medication is a luxury item.

newsworthy: georgia sheriff cracks down on school violence threats

(Illustration by Josh Chen/The Washington Post; Octavio Jones for The Washington Post)
Welcome to America, where school shootings are so routine that cops now have a zero-tolerance policy for bad jokes, but not for the guns that make the threats real. In Florida, kids as young as 11 are getting perp-walked, shackled, and smeared online for posting dumb, edgy comments, while law enforcement pats itself on the back for ‘deterrence.’ (no, I do not condone threats of violence!) Never mind that experts say this public humiliation doesn’t actually stop threats—it just turns dumb kids into criminals. But hey, why bother fixing the root causes of school violence when you can just arrest children and call it a win? hint: ITS THE GUNS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE GUNS

schools are trying to protect kids
ice agents trying to ruin someones holiday
As Trump’s administration removes protections barring ICE from sensitive locations, public schools across the U.S. are fighting back to shield undocumented students. Districts in cities like Chicago, Denver, and New York are introducing policies to limit ICE’s access to school grounds, refusing to cooperate without judicial warrants, and ensuring schools remain sanctuaries. While Trump claims raids on schools will be “extremely rare,” educators are preparing for the worst, with some districts even instituting lockdown procedures for uninvited government officials. It’s a bold stand for vulnerable students in an era where compassion and safety seem harder to come by.
