You punish schools for teaching equity, but stay silent on underfunding, burnout, and broken systems.

This was never about protecting kids.
It’s about protecting power.

And teachers?
We’re done playing quiet.

The exodus is coming. And we’re bringing the truth with us.

“The U.S. was #1 before the Dept. of Ed! Now we rank 31st! We spend more than anyone, and 28% of grads can’t read!”

Sounds bold, right? Too bad it’s mostly false.

Too many Americans seem to be more and more comfortable with inhumanity. Choose not to become jaded. Choose to be impressed by kindness. Choose to make a big deal about decency. Choose not to normalize fascist cruelty. Speak honestly about the evil we’re witnessing. Choose.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.”

Rubbish.

Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Too many with power will not do that which is vital to our collective survival. No shock. Drugged up with self-interest. Clearly shortening our time here as a species with their personal gain disease. Such a horrific place to be: a massive concentration of wealth death camp.

Project 2025 would require all public high school students take the military entrance exam.

Private school students would be exempt.

This took my breath away.

Or (little) kids who take the bus home and find an empty home?

I live and teach in a neighborhood that’s majority immigrant families.

What will we do, indeed?
There was a zoom about how federal policies could impact our union members.
I was so stuck on the IDEA Act, I hadn’t considered…
Students w/ undocumented parents being dropped off by mom in the AM… but not picked up at dismissal by mom. Because mom was picked up by ICE… what will we do?

Americans: the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING you can do for Gaza right now is call your Senators every single day until November 21 and ask them to co-sign Senate Joint Resolutions 111-116, which would block the 11 BILLION DOLLARS of military aid we’re about to send Israel. USCPR has scripts.
If you're feeling paralyzed and don't know where to start:

gazafunds.com has a list of families that desperately need support.

uscpr.org has tons of resources; currently I'm focused on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval re: the TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS OF WEAPONS the US is about to send Israel

Trump’s plan to end discussions on race, gender, and history in schools while pushing for patriotic education is another step toward fascism. It denies future generations the ability to think critically, understand diverse perspectives, and navigate the world. Education should empower, not silence.
"Trump also wants a say in school curriculum, vowing to fight for 'patriotic' education. He promised to reinstate his 1776 Commission, which he created in 2021 to promote patriotic education."

This has nothing to do with teaching history. It's indoctrination. 🗃️ apnews.com/article/trum...

President-elect Donald Trump has a vision for education that revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination.”

Imagine the start of every dystopian/apocalyptic film you’ve watched where the world goes to shit… it basically starts like this
RFK Jr.: “Thank you [to the NIH] for public service. We’re going to give infectious disease a break for about eight years.”

Kennedy wants to take a “break” from studying infectious diseases like COVID-19 and measles.

I could not agree more!
An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.
