Every public school teacher you know now knows more about how to help families find affordable food than they did about a week ago. In case any anti-teacher-union types are curious, this is what those disruptive organizers have been texting/emailing each other about all weekend.

Last night, Trump had a Halloween party that began just hours before SNAP, Head Start, and other assistance programs were set to expire for MILLIONS of Americans. He said he can’t find a way to pay for it. Things that make you go hmmm 🤔

Abby testified today. Her eyes speak volumes. She looks like a broken human. Everyone should be watching this trial and then contacting state officials to demand gun reform.

They're about to incinerate food that could have fed 1.5 million children for a week. Is this what you voted for?

One of my big goals this summer: understanding where AI fits in a classroom built on writing, feedback, and belonging.

Marcus gets it AND frames the convo through Station Eleven, with insights from @heymrsbond.com and @thevogelman.bsky.social

Nearly 1 out of every 2 kids in America rely on Medicaid. That’s newborns, children with disabilities and chronic conditions, and those from working families. It is their lifeline.

Urge your reps to leave Medicaid alone. Kids need our help.

So sad to learn that a true pioneer has passed.
We are heartbroken to share the news of Kylene Beers' passing. Our thoughts are with her family at this time. Kylene's legacy lives on in her words and the impact she made on education. Kylene was dedicated to teachers and to students. We'll share more in the coming days:

We’ve truly lost our way in this country.

An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.
