Our creed as educators is to students and their right to learn. We provide tools not to tell others what they should think but how to think for themselves. Our greatest role in society is to provide the opportunity for everyone to participate.

There seems to be debate of the alt gov accounts, intents, verification, and credibility. So let’s do some house cleaning!

I am a one man band here. I am not a part of the Department of Education. I am a singular School District employee. I have not been verified by anyone and cannot vouch for alts

The Trump administration deported two families, including three U.S. citizen children, after cutting them off from their lawyers and disregarding one of the child's need for cancer medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.

The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

The working class is sick of a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make.

Enough is enough. We stand in solidarity with all working people fighting for their fair share ✊

I just want to be a good person. I know that wont be perfect, that ‘ll make mistakes, and every choice or action will upset someone… But darn it if I don’t want to just do the right thing, be kind, be helpful, be good.

Why does that feel so exceptionally hard these days

For anyone who may have forgotten, WE ERADICATED MEASLES IN THE U.S.

Now it’s back. With a multi-state, growing outbreak. Because fewer people are vaccinating their kids. Because a cult has lied to them that the vaccine is harmful. Now kids are getting sick. Some are hospitalized. Some are dying.

🚨 MASS LAYOFFS at The Health & Human Services Dept.! 10,000 workers cut— dismantling our health system & risking lives. This administration keeps putting corporate greed over people’s well-being, slashing jobs & endangering public health. We need investment in care, not cuts.

Children with disabilities are facing a double threat from federal cuts to support systems they need every day. Medicaid covers costs for more than 6,600,000 of them and the Dept. of Ed protects their rights at school.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

It’s easy to be swept up in the chaos of the world and the current admins constant action. It can become a echo chamber that can become overwhelming. While all is alarming, please remember to take a big step back from doom scrolling negative news.

Trump signed an EO to dismantle the Department of Education, which can only legally be done through an act of Congress. This executive overreach will only benefit right-wing extremists who seek to privatize education.

BREAKING: President Trump issued an executive order to begin dismantling the Department of Education.

This will severely hinder the federal government’s ability to meet its legal obligations laid out by Congress to protect students’ civil rights and empower them to achieve their future potential.
