Who am I?

My name is Deb and I’m a union public school music educator and president of my local union. I like long walks on the beach, democratized bargaining, and a good meme.

Give me a follow if you are a fellow union sibling or a supporter of the labor movement!

We do this so students can learn from the past, understand the injustices of the present, and prepare to build a liberated future.

Education should be a tool for critical consciousness, not conformity.

It’s our duty to protect that power.

🧵Thread:
Union educators are on the front lines of the struggle against censorship and whitewashed curricula designed to uphold systems of oppression. By organizing collectively, we fight for the freedom to teach the truth about racism, class struggle, colonialism, gender, and resistance.

National Education Association @neatoday.bsky.social · Jun 7

Today, communities nationwide are gathering to celebrate the freedom to learn without censorship. Pledge to protect and encourage honesty in education so students can:

📘 Learn from the past,
🧠 Make sense of the present, and
🎓 Prepare for the future.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. So, I come to you today with a question:
If someone told you that their chicken tasted too chickeny would you know what they meant?

Worth mentioning that the Nazification of universities was a pretty key part of the rise of the Nazi Party.

How Dismantling the Department of Education Would Harm Students | NEA

The Trump administration is taking a wrecking ball to public schools—inflicting damage on millions of students across the country in the process—to pay for tax handouts for billionaires.

Random thought of the day: I’d give nearly anything to see Elon Musk trip and take a digger on national tv. It’s the small things in life.

I am seeking endorsement from the EDU caucus in MA to run for either President or Vice President of the Mass Teachers Assoc. Curious about where I stand on different topics? I’ve started a short series of videos you can check out over on the Tok:

First it was Mahmoud Khalil. Next it was Fabian Schmidt. These are the first tests…we must never accept this as normal and must see all the signs that we are falling into an autocratic regime. No choice but to #StandUpFightBack!

Originally from Germany, Fabian Schmidt was stopped on his way home from Luxembourg, questioned, and held in Rhode Island.

Why do I keep seeing Jake Auchincloss in my feed? Dude was nowhere to be found when Newton was on strike and now he’s everywhere. Guess we located the missing person!

D. Gesualdo @missdebgee.bsky.social · Mar 16

It’s beyond me that there’s still people who think we can legislate our way out of the fascist oligarchy that is the United States. It’s time for deep relational organizing…working people rising up are the antidote!

PSA:

Stay home if you are sick.

Bc someone came to a meeting sick on Mon I’m on day 3 of a BAD stomach bug. Thankfully, nearly all of my meetings this week were already scheduled via zoom so I can stay away from people.

Don’t let the boss guilt you into not using sick days when you’re sick.

In case anyone needs a little pick-me-up…

“You are exactly where you’re meant to be. Keep going.”
