He refused to stop teaching the truth.

Tomatoes, seafood and more: Why are these grocery prices soaring?

"It just pisses them off more," said Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, said in an interview when asked about how voters will react if food gets more expensive.

“It’s not just the 6,200 children who have been arrested… it’s the 100,000 families who have been impacted by ICE and the deportations. That number should shock the conscience of everyone in this country.” — @rweingarten.bsky.social

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” includes a tax loophole for billionaires—practically paying them to “donate” to private school tuition for families earning up to $500,000 a year. It increases the deficit & weakens public schools.

Tell your lawmakers: Say NO to school vouchers.
