A teacher's job is to educate, but you can't teach a child who is living in constant fear.

In Chicago, ICE raids are terrorizing the communities our students call home. So our members are stepping up to defend their students, their families, and the very idea of school as a sanctuary.

Today I spent the day in "war ravaged" Portland for a conference. It was hell.

I live in Portland Metro and the helicopters have been flying over for the last 4 hours.
I'm beginning to understand how this is meant to keep us fearful.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC:

“We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."

We don't need a 'Democratic Stephen Miller.' We need Democrats who will unapologetically fight for our values.

We don't need a 'Joe Rogan of the Left.' We need a progressive media ecosystem that will unapologetically fight for our values.

We don't need their playbook. We need to believe in us.

if the fed renovations are too expensive, why don't we lower the cost by reducing the 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum?

Maybe if your country is the wealthiest in the world but the richest tenth of the country have two thirds of the wealth and the bottom 50% only have 2.5% of the wealth, you don't have the wealthiest country in the world, you just have feudalism.

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

How long do we give him until the Republicans oust him for JD? As much as I want him out as the President, his successor is no better.
3.5 years is So. Long!
