Someone untied Betsy DeVos’ $40 million yacht and set it adrift

There’s a wave of minor crime against Trump administration officials, and I’m enjoying every moment of it.
Yesterday, a man destroyed Trump’s Hollywood Star of Fame with a pickaxe. This past weekend, a group of vandals untied Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ $40 million yacht which was docked in Huron Ohio, causing an estimated $5,000-$10,000 in damage.
These are petty crimes that reap huge emotional rewards for the sad people of the internet.

Grace Dolan-Sandrino, a 17-year-old transgender high school student, was prepared for the Department of Education to let her down.
The federal agency had done so already a year ago, she says, when it rescinded an Obama-era guidance advising schools to allow trans students use of bathroom facilities that matched their gender identity.
Dolan-Sandrino, however, didn’t expect the department to openly abandon students like her by refusing to investigate or take action on complaints filed by children and teens whose schools implement discriminatory bathroom policies. But, as of Monday, that became the agency’s official position. Read more…
