(also is he as really obsessed with lovely fast food as his twitter feed makes him out to be)

He's more concerned with media coverage than effectiveness, and has on numerous occasions sabotaged or tried to coopt other activist campaigns to fit his own narrative/agenda.

He kind of has a reputation now among actual activists/organizers in Baltimore and DC and we generally try to steer clear of him.

i have no idea about his food tastes but i did see him with McDonalds on a few occasions :911:

edit: i've never worked with him SPECIFICALLY on education issues but he's definitely in favor of charter schools/privatization from everything i've heard

The Berniecrats will never support someone supported by HRC. They're demanding control of the Democratic Party and swing it hard to the left. The poor bastards fail to realize when you swing far enough left you look no different than the far right, but most importantly your presidential candidates have no chance of winning.

The far right that currently controls all three branches of the federal government, and a majority of state government, and are getting everything they want?

If you are just talking results, as you clarified, I would be completely satisfied with that.

So I help low-income students complete their applications for financial aid, and it's a super loving annoying process. One of the few things that makes the process easier is this thing called the Data Retrieval Tool, which allows people to directly import their information from the IRS into their FAFSA. Without it, schools often crawl up students' asses looking for documentation to confirm that the information provided on the FAFSA is correct, and for a lot of the people I work with, that documentation is hard to acquire and submit, for a variety of reasons.

Now the Department of Education has convinced the IRS to take down the Data Retrieval Tool indefinitely due to concerns about "identity theft," despite no evidence that this was a problem, and is loving over thousands of students for no reason in the process. Cool times.

In my experience, if you're a fully Pell eligible student, odds are the schools will follow up with you requesting further documentation from the IRS unless you can use that tool, and I have students who are estranged from their parents or dealing with other things that create multiple additional hoops that they will have to jump through in order to receive financial aid now, and all for the financial aid equivalent of "mass voter fraud"

I've always considered Warren to be a good dem, but I think her biggest flaw is that she still thinks things matter.

The Education Department announcement came several hours after a bipartisan group of senators unveiled legislation that would have blocked DeVos’ plans. The bill — sponsored by Sens. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) — would require the department to keep its current system of “multiple student loan servicers.”

Lankford did something... Good?

Charter schools do all kinds of poo poo to artificially inflate their grades. A charter school in northern Michigan lets students retake classes they failed online and then substitutes the online grade for the failing grade. It's bullshit but they get away with it.
