This is a really big deal: a union leader wins in Texas.. and beats a billionaire backed candidate who led anti public school culture wars…. .h/t @zephcapo.bsky.social
HUGE TEXAS UNION WIN: @iamunion.bsky.social leader Taylor Rehmet was just elected to the Texas Senate! This win kicks off a wave of union candidates across the state.

While parties are trying to reconnect with the working class, we’re running union members up and down the ballot — and winning. ✊

Speaking from Minneapolis, I shared why we’re determined to do this differently than past tech rollouts. That’s why we created the National Academy for AI Instruction & why we aim to reach 400,000 members over the next five years.

Amazing weekend! So grateful to our hardy participants/educators and the AFT and UFT teams that made it happen!
Glad to address the AFT’s Center for School Improvement Leadership Institute today, with nearly 30 district teams from across the country in NYC digging into how we both harness AI to empower educators and enrich learning and fight for the guardrails that must be adopted to stop the perils.

Check out this terrific blog from my colleague Heidi Goger @aft.org The rights of ALL children matter & it takes both data & stories to remind us how far we’ve come & why we must celebrate and protect IDEA@50!
50 years of civil rights for students with disabilities, and the urgency continues.
Heidy Goger shares why this moment matters for every educator.

Hi out there @bsky world. Have to get off that other toxic platform (have I figured out how yet? Maybe not) so here I am. Probably not posting a ton, there’s too much work to do. But we’ll see…
