"Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." "Yes to that." WOW. Jen Kiggans agrees with the host after he says Hakeem Jeffries has "cotton-picking" hands. #VA02

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife - Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson - The assassination of Charlie Kirk Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

Authentic Big Tent rooted in respect for all. Modern 24/7 organizing, innovation & narrative driving. Fearless party of “WE” that centers voices & hopes of working people. And building the power to make the American Dream the norm. I’m with @benwikler. search.app/vE3d748KtxUaPr…

@alexanderrusso Since you are wondering, NEA members knocked on a record number of doors (+1m) this year because they understood the assignment to protect their students, public education, and democracy.

I totally missed this at the time, but now I'm wondering if it had any effect: The NEA's standoff with its union is hampering its GOTV efforts - Fast Company fastcompany.com/91176024/nea-u…

For those who haven't yet imagined the death of American democracy, we imagined it for you. Watch here.

The educators and students across Texas have lost an indefatigable public education champion and warrior for racial and social justice. Sending my love to Richard’s family, all of TSTA, and everyone touched by his work, laughter, and love. I am saddened beyond words….

CNN provides their fact check of Trump

I really wish rich, out-of-touch folks who nothing about education would just stop. 1) Read the fine print. THIS IS A GOVT VOUCHER PROGRAM. Voucher programs have not been shown to improve results for poor Black children because most cannot get into high-quality private schools. 2) Read the fine print. All of the money is coming from taxpayers, ie. the government. Roc Nation is not funding this, it is just launching an educational campaign that maybe it is being paid to do. I'm researching. But certainly, it's involvement is to convince poor Black parents to leave the public schools. 3) What do you think that $300 million could do for improving those low-performing public schools? 4) It is a lie that these programs do not take from public-school funding. Fewer kids in the classroom means fewer dollars to the school. 5) This is a windfall to the city's private schools at the expense of the public ones that most kids attend.

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!! Congrats @FEA_Fairfax ! This opens up a pathway for educators, students, parents and community members to have yet another powerful venue to fight for the supports our students and their educators need and deserve!

@ChadOban Wow is right!

Wow!

@MelindaJPerson So cool!!

Exploring the world of heavy machinery with an excavator simulator at Wayne Finger Lakes BOCES today was an absolute blast! 💥🚜 Relevance is key in education—hands-on experiences like these not only engage students but also prepare them for real-world success! Can you dig it? @nysut @WFL_BOCES @AFTunion

@IdahoEA Go IEA members!

Participants IEA’s Leaders for Just Schools are an impressive front as they defend their union’s rights in the House State Affairs Committee. Anti-union forces want to strip IEA’s ability to perform basic functions, but these members will hold them accountable. #iealobbyday2024

This video has gone completely viral on Instagram - more than a million people have watched it! - and for good reason. There is so much power in speaking up and telling the truth about what we are facing as educators!!

For me, this video o Joe Biden comforting the families of the victims of the Parkland shooting says so much about Joe Biden, the person and the leader.

It is not enough, but it is encouraging that the temporary ceasefire will allow for humanitarian efforts to bring relief to Palestinians in Gaza and the release of Israeli and other hostages.

We stand up to extremist politicians because we know the truth in what Dr. King taught us: “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” In all that we do—in every classroom throughout our nation—we must fight for that presence of justice.

Honored to speak at first anniversary of @semafor about the importance of addressing the digital divide for America’s students. @GinaChon @SemaforComms @NEAToday
