Every one of our students deserves a safe & welcoming place to learn. I was at North Grand High School in Chicago with @ctulocal1.bsky.social today to share Know Your Rights info—what to do if ICE shows up—with parents & kids. Access the AFT’s immigration resources here

Kyle Tucker has had a nice night for the Cubs: two walks, a solo shot in the 7th and now a single in the 8th. Michael Busch also stays scorching, belting a homer in the 8th (his 3rd of the NLDS and 4th in the playoffs).
