'#HandsOff' rally in #PortsmouthNH: Thousands slam #Trump and his policies

PORTSMOUTH — "Large crowds of protesters gathered Saturday at "Hands Off" rallies in Seacoast New Hampshire and Maine and across the nation, speaking out against President Donald Trump and his administration's actions.

"Large crowds in downtown Portsmouth lined both sides of the length of Congress Street, spilling into side streets, exceeding expectations for city police.
Protesters have focused on issues like Trump's tariffs, Trump's actions to end protections for immigrants and transgender people, the dismantling of the Department of Education, cuts to the Veterans Administration, and layoffs of thousands of federal workers.

"Protesters in Portsmouth called for the Department of Government Efficiency to be dismantled, for the federal government to protect #teachers, public #school staff, #Abortionrights, #FederalWorkers, #WomensRights and #LGBTQ+ rights, labeled Trump “#orangeMussolini,” and called for preserving #Medicaid, #Medicare and #SocialSecurity.

“Hands off the Constitution,” one sign said. “Democracy is not for sale!”
Portsmouth crowd grows to thousands

A parcel arrived at my house today which was meant for someone else, and I was pleased to pass on to the rightful recipient, a #school child. It contained a #book, distributed by the local council and #DollyParton's Imagination Library. If only everyone who was lucky enough to become very wealthy were like Dolly. In the books of the future, it will be people like Dolly who will be the examples we'll tell our children to emulate

It noted that the #DOJ could sue for breach of contract if it found federal funds were spent while violating *#CivilRights* laws.

The fed govt accounts for ~8% of local #school #funding, but amounts vary. In MS about 23% of school funding comes from federal sources, while NY receives just 7%, acc/to the Pew Research Center.

[#TitleI schools receive additional funding see #Project2025’s plan to eliminate the funding entirely americanprogress.org/article/p]

In a memo sent to top #PublicEducation ofcls across the country, the #Education Dept said that #funding for schools w/high percentages of #LowIncome #students, known as #TitleI funding, was at risk pending compliance w/the #Trump admin’s directive.

The memo included a *certification* letter that state & local #school ofcls must sign & return within 10 days, even as the admin has struggled to define which programs would violate its *interpretation* of #CivilRights laws.

Yeah

Also, which countries (just in Europe?) have 4 years of tag-team parental leave through to pre-K?

Free post-secondary #tuition

Fully funded #k12

Free #school lunch programs for all

Free before and after school #childcare

No for-profit k12 or post-secondary schools

This isn't brain surgery! It's the political will to tax the rich!

Ugh, my daughter's English paper came back flagged as 'severely copied and AI', and she got a failing grade. It's a false positive, so now we have to do the song and dance to get it fixed.
I'm sure we're not the first, and we'll definitely not be the last. I'm also sure that AI use is probably pretty high these days.
What an annoying world we live in.

The decision to strip chapters from books that had already won the approval of the state’s Republican-controlled board of education represents an escalation in how local school boards run by ideological conservatives influence what children learn.

One of my professors hasn’t graded anything since Feb 15th.

How the hell am I supposed to study for my midterm next week?! Ugh. ffs.

This class has weekly assignments so it’s kinda hard to know if I’m on the right track with half my work left to be reviewed.
