The Trump administration’s attacks on students continue. Stripping away rules for teaching English learners isn’t just a policy shift — it’s an attack on equity in education. Every student, no matter their language, has a right to an equal education. t.co/RVoqTGD8g2

The Trump administration's choice to put students of color and LGBTQ+ students on the back burner is a dangerous rollback of civil rights. Our mission must be to ensure *all* students have access to a quality education free from discrimination. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Under Trump, the Education Dept. has flipped its civil rights mission

The administration is prioritizing allegations that transgender students and students of color are getting unfair advantages while a backlog of other cases grows.

Celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security at the Peninsula Agency on Aging. Trump and the GOP are laying off customer service workers, and making it harder for seniors to receive the benefits that they have earned. We must protect Social Security for today’s seniors & future generations.
