    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.

    This is important! The Miami Herald editorial board says β€œwe need NOAA, not Project 2025” We need to put science first. We need to save lives. This is not a political game.

    First, in the era of school shootings, it’s in really bad taste for Don Jr. to attack teachers on front of a wall full of guns. It’s gross. It feels like a threat in this climate. And right on the heels of the Parkland anniversary.Β

    THIS is incredible!! @KamalaHarris is putting attracting & retaining teachers front and center. This would make a huge difference in the lives of educators, our students and our communities. #AFTVotes #FundOurFuture

    Wait…Did I misread this or did Tom Cotton just say any teacher who is not also a parent shouldn’t be able to teach? Really? Is he now disqualifying every nun from teaching? Or is this simply a new divisive & hateful homophobic slur against LGBTQ teachers?

    I know that Mike Pompeo is running for president, and frankly I don’t know whether to characterize his characterization of me in the @daveweigel interview as ridiculous or dangerous.

    "The most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten. It's not a close call." Read @daveweigel and @ShelbyTalcott's interview with Mike Pompeo on his potential 2024 run and more: semafor.com/article/11/21/…
    Shelby Talcott: More broadly, what do you view as the central issues that any Republican should be running on come 2024?

Mike Pompeo: Yeah, they’re timeless. The central ideas of America are timeless β€” limited government, expanded set of freedoms, protecting the capacity of people to practice their faith. The very things I spoke about tonight β€” making sure we don’t teach our kids crap in schools, which we are at the center of doing.

I tell the story often β€” I get asked β€œWho’s the most dangerous person in the world? Is it Chairman Kim, is it Xi Jinping?” The most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten. It’s not a close call. If you ask, β€œWho’s the most likely to take this republic down?” It would be the teacher’s unions, and the filth that they’re teaching our kids, and the fact that they don’t know math and reading or writing. These are the things that candidates should speak to in a way that says, β€œHere’s the problem. Here’s a proposal for how to solve it. And if given th

    Thank you @DrBiden for inviting @BeckyPringle & me to join you in the White House today. Day 2!! It means so much to educators to feel respected by a President & a First Lady. Educators- from the classroom teacher to the bus driver always lead with hope, but now we have help. πŸ™

    Chris Christie has a history of bullying teachers. No surprise he went after me tonight. Failing Presidential candidates seem to name check me regularly these days. I’ll keep focusing on #RealSolutionsForKids . I invite all to reject their culture wars & focus on solutions.
