#Sigh…. Guess the Rs on a congressional committee dedicated to workforce don’t like that I spend so much time with our members and their communities. Of course, we will cooperate with any legitimate request, but this won't stop me or our union from fighting for working families.

Yesterday was incredible. More than 5M people across the country stood up to say #NoKings. This country belongs to all of us. There are so many people to thank, including Indivisible, ACLU, 50501 and of course all the people who showed up, including our fantastic AFT members in over 1000 rallies

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital federal education programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities.

I suspect no one who voted for Trump thought he would let Musk invade their privacy. Right now, inside the Dept of Ed, the world’s richest man is rifling through 45M people’s private student loan accounts and feeding the data into AI. www.aft.org/press-releas...
