Working people are holding the line. It’s time for Congress to join the fight. I just sent a letter to my congresspeople demanding they support @vanhollen.senate.gov as he fights to return Kilmar to his family and community. Join me in taking action!

Nice #PresidentTrump
You really know how to rally America.
Your MEGA plain is doing a wonderful job.

DOW down 1,000points.
Need I say more
You are NO LEADER.
#PresidentTrumpResign
Holy smokes the DOW is now down over 1000, NASDAQ is almost at 900 and S&P 500 at 200….he said there would so much winning….is this the winning?

My fellow Americans.
We must continue to fight against #PresidentTrumps policies.
We must fight the good fight.
We must stand up to this man.
Our freedoms are at stake.

We stand in solidarity with our union family @seiu.org and Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was illegally detained for exercising her First Amendment rights.

These dangerous attacks enforced by Trump must stop. We must protect our democracy.
Rumeysa Ozturk exercised her inalienable, constitutional right to free speech by writing an op-ed in the student newspaper. Her fate? ICE detention. Sign on if you agree that we must fight #4The1st! 🔗🔗 seiu.co/3FNfHIm

#PresidentTrump Stop Attacking Our Schools and Our Students. Stop attacking our students with disabilities.
While your at it, stop attacking our Teachers and Support Staff.
ENOUGH ALL READY.
Stop attacking those who serve as educational advocates.
You want a fight, we will give you a Fight.
📢 Senator Warren is right: dismantling the Department of Education is an attack on students, educators, and the future of public schools.

We’re proud to stand with her to Save Our Schools and defend every child’s right to a high-quality public education.
Today, I’m launching Save Our Schools – a campaign to bring people together and push back against Donald Trump's attacks on public education.

We're fighting for an America where it's not just the kids of billionaires who get a good education, but every kid in every community.

A must read for everyone.
“Students with disabilities weren't educated in most cases,” says Jack Schneider, professor on education policy at UMass Amherst. “They were turned away, and their families were told that the school didn't have the facilities, the resources to serve their kids.”

What Was School Like for Students With Disabilities Before IDEA? | NEA
The landmark law ushered in an era of inclusion and equity. The current assault on public schools could unravel that progress, leaving students without the support they need.

These restrictions exist precisely because Congress recognized that in a system where institutions depend on federal funds, letting federal agencies withhold funding cavalierly would give them dangerously broad power. www.highereddive.com/news/aaup-af... @aaup.bsky.social
AAUP and AFT sue Trump administration over threats to defund Columbia University
The unions accused federal officials of trying to “overpower” the Ivy League institution’s autonomy and are asking that a court restore all funding.
