On July 24^th, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order entitled “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets.” This order demands that cities do more to “address” homelessness and serves as the basis for the current federalized crackdown that is occurring in Washington, D.C.

Trump’s defunding of the US Department of Education (DOE) is an attack on the entire working class, especially those who require the aid programs that the DOE has been able to provide under previous administrations. Free quality public education should be made available to every child no matter their race, disability, or socioeconomic status.
