“The planned order follows years of campaign promises from President Donald Trump to abolish the department — something he cannot do without congressional approval.”

    I am so glad that I went hopelessly into debt and sold my body for a degree for a job they don’t want to exist anymore. Fuck me for being passionate about math and science, wanting to teach and inspire children. It’s wonderful that the lifelong PTSD from sex work ended up being worth nothing.

    No, I’m a fucking removed. No removeds allowed. No DOE means my state is going to end public education. They’ve already been working on it. Online charters for the poors, real education for the wealthy.

      Please try to come up with an exit strategy. This country is inches from an all-out trans genocide. The world needs people like you.

          Everyone’s path will differ. For them I’d start by getting set up as a remote tutor so that they can keep earning wherever they are. Then start checking which countries are most in demand of teachers, and whether their immigration systems would look favourably on someone with that skillset. New Zealand, Australia, and Germany might be places to start.

          My path was a little more straightforward, as a UK dual citizen; I’ve only had to pay huge immigration fees for my family, somehow keep my US job working remotely, and work like mad to put my wife through university for a new job. My last step will be to find a more meaningful job based locally so I can get my hands on those lovely bank hols…
