    It's time to let X/Twitter go. This platform's decline from a vibrant public square to what is now a platform for hate, disinformation & manipulation has been painful to experience. Find me & the AFT on Bluesky, Substack, Threads, Instagram, or Facebook. reuters.com/business/media…

    Gerrymandering is so bad that the GOP can lose the popular vote by 3 times the margin Trump did and still keep the House. That’s why EVERYONE has to vote. eclectablog.com/2018/03/the-go…

    Trump’s Mar-A-Lago trips cost taxpayers $25M in 3 mo. That $$ could provide school lunch for 65k kids for a year. istrumpatmaralago.org

    Teachers want to be teaching, not holstering firearms. We need fewer guns in schools, not more of them. #MarchForOurLives

    In America, public school teachers are paid about $13,000 a year less than other college graduates. That could be mortgage payments or the cost of groceries for a family for a year. It’s a national failure. It’s time we give America’s teachers a raise. x.com/latimespolitic…

    Just think of your favorite teacher who gave you the confidence to be who you want to be. That's the kind of First Lady @DrBiden will be. — @JoeBiden #AFTvotes #DemConvention
