Well, for me, I have decided to limit my exposure to this. I was on the phone with my sister when I got a little heated. I was not kind about how I want the future for the olds to look. My father and mother decided to 'tune me out' and walk away. Apparently, it was upsetting for my mother and she reached out to me. For years, I have talked with her about the fuckery of the state of Texas and special education is and how important the DOE is to keeping it from being a total shitshow. This is what was so frustrating. I got a weak apology for Trump being so erratic. I sent some citations and this seemed to all come as a surprise, including how "big balls" now has access to their most sensitive identity information (payments, bank account numbers, social security, etc.).
From what I can tell, my father likely told her that I am probably overreacting or how since they haven't gutted it entirely yet, I shouldn't be concerned with it. Of course they don't give a shit about how Trump and his minions have attacked other organizations and the damage they have done there or don't know.
So far no response.
