President Trump is expected to sign a long-expected executive action Thursday calling on U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon “to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure [of] the Department of Education and return education authority to the States,” according to a fact sheet provided by the White House. Trump plans to sign the order at a ceremony alongside the Republican governors of Texas, Indiana, Florida and Ohio.
It is incredibly concerning. But it’s difficult to do much of anything. Protests often don’t reach a significant size, and when they do, they are not reported on. That leads to discouragement, the feeling that in wasting my limited time, risking my livelihood, and accomplishing nothing.
That’s one problem with being such a large nation.
More people are protesting now than in 2017, media is just declining to cover it properly. Every institution that holds power is helping the fascist be more of a fascist. Little short of assassination could stop whats currently happening.
