Summary
The White House is drafting an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, aligning with Trump’s long-standing pledge.
However, Congress must approve the agency’s abolition, making its passage unlikely despite GOP control. Critics, including the National Education Association, warn this move would harm students, increase costs, and weaken protections.
GOP lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to eliminate the department since its 1979 founding.
Trump also recently signed an order expanding school choice, reinforcing the Republican agenda of decentralizing education policy.
I think WhatsApp groups might work to spread the word as well. It’s mainstream enough and can’t be banned like other platforms.
It’s owned by Meta, why would you trust them?
Most privacy minded people don’t, but that is something that is a lot harder to get rid of for the majority of the countries where it is the default way of communicating these days
Its E2E messaging so no moderation.
Since it has widespread adoption one could use it to great local groups to share info and plan protests.
And they can update this away any time
May as well use it until that happens, with a pre decided on backup plan so everyone knows where to meet up again when it does
How many times do I have to switch services when they enshittify? Because I’ve already switched from using xmpp chat that allowed me to message Facebook accounts and Google accounts when they decided not to have this feature
It’s META so there’s no assurance they’re not giving you the MITM treatment.
