Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections. Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. They control the AI you're integrating into your lives, the algorithms feeding you content, and your personal data you've given up for access. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us, and we’re not talking enough about it. Pay attention.

🚨NEW: Stephen Colbert will be the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

🚨MAJOR BREAING: Rep. Elect Adelita Grijalva calls a press conference with Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jamie Raskin to pressure Mike Johnson to swear her in. “I do not have access to provide services in district.” SWEAR HER IN!

This breaks my heart and it infuriates me. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new ballroom. Good god.

Classrooms today are often set up in a way where most student misbehavior goes unchecked. It’s a nightmare for teachers—but the ones who truly suffer are the students who actually want to learn.

At elite colleges like Columbia, many students are showing up unprepared to read full books. It’s not that they don’t want to, @rosehorowitch writes. Middle and high schools have stopped teaching them how: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Voting matters. When you act like it doesn’t, those who are elected will treat you like you don’t matter. Show them you care by voting, staying civically responsible, and being educated. #Vote #CivicResponsibility

Teaching is an art form of relationships with students, having a growth mindset, and continuous reflection and improvement. #ISTElive
