Rep. Takano (D-CA) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Democrats visit the Department of Education amid reports that the Trump administration intends to dismantle the department without consulting Congress. They are denied access.

    Focusing on the people who should be doing something is focusing on the issue at hand.

    Or do you just expect people to say “The Republicans are awful” and not discuss how to actually stop it because that’s not “focusing on the r’s trying to dismantle our government”

      I don’t think you understand. WE are the only people that can do something. It’s to scream at everyone about this. No one knows what’s going on, I guarantee that. They did polls about project 2025 and even trumpers were against it. If everyone knew, this would be stopped. Tell everyone in your circle and outside your circle about this shit.

      “Hey, this building is on fire! Stop sitting around asking for money and tell me where to find the extinguisher!”

      Can we just focus on the fire?

        Yes, let’s focus on the fire because the fire is actually people doing harm and are real people, not some entity that got out of control. Let’s focus on everyone, all of America, going after the r’s. They’ve walked back tons of shit. We can only stop them if we ALL go after them.

          Then we agree. Rather than watch what’s happening, let’s focus on what action to take.

              Exactly. Thank you. We want to know what to do, besides donate to d’s. Will anyone organize a resistance? Could our polite, play-by-the-book-that-was-incinerated leaders maybe just push through the play-acting muskovite incel guard and enter the building, thus displaying a fucking spine? I don’t know what to do because I’m not an elected d. But if I was, I’d know I need to do more than throw up my hands.

            This meme is exactly how I can tell that you’re distracting yourself from the real issue. Here is how you can help.

            At work:

            • Did you hear that they took over the entire education department and took access of everyone’s education records?
            • Did you hear that they wouldn’t even let democrats in to oversee them taking all of the education records of every student?

            At home:

            • Honey, did you know that the republicans took access to every education file and student file? Isn’t that crazy? Did anyone talk about that?
