Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Had individual writing conferences today with students on their final project of the year
Two things very clear to me: 1⃣ doing this is SO valuable but 2⃣ it is SO difficult logistically given average class sizes of 30+ students

On this Mother’s Day, let’s remember that the United States is the only large scale nation without a national paid maternity (and paternity) leave. We deserve better. We need to fight for better. How much time do you have to wait for better?

My students are doing a memoir book club to end the school year and then doing some light research on a central issue in their books. I want to read a Palestinian memoir alongside them and share what I read. Any ideas on what I should buy? #memoir #teacher #edchat #secondaryed #Palestine #books

Simultaneously being alive, staying alive, remaining hopeful, and teaching children that reading and writing are worthwhile endeavors is a lot and I don’t know how anyone is doing any of these things well.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
