This!
I realize my posts here are not-so-much about #Genealogy.
But this is a CRISIS in our beloved country and world.
Honoring my ancestors and family history by staying informed and involved is the right and most important thing to do, given this situation.

Thanks for the review @victoria_waddle. The book is a love letter to teachers and a warning about what happens when authoritarians undermine pluralism and opportunity for all via these attacks on public education.

Thank you Washoe Dems for a great discussion. I hear you when you say you want representation that stands up for Nevada and shows up to answer your questions and concerns. And that is exactly what I intended to do!

Winnemucca, thank you for the conversation and for welcoming me into your community. From seniors in high school to seniors in the community, you brought honest questions and real concerns about the economy, access to affordable health care, protecting Social Security, and more.

Thank you, North Washoe Dems, for the job interview. I appreciate the chance to introduce myself and share why I’m running to represent this district. I loved hearing your stories, answering your questions and feeling that sense of community in the room. I’m looking forward to doing it again soon.

Time to get big money out of politics. People shouldn’t need a bag of cash just to be able to compete for a job and they certainly shouldn’t be expected to “pay dues” once they get the job

Amid today’s chaos, cruelty & economic concerns, we need to envision a future in which people see that the American dream is achievable for them. That means policies that enable working people to support themselves and their families without constant struggle and anxiety. www.aft.org/column/affor...

🧵On the Road With Kathy: Root Causes
Long day, long night, but the kind of night that reaffirms, that this is what I should be doing.
Once again I dug into the real issues Nevada is facing, from water and mining to tribal rights and rural towns that feel left behind.

There are 435 members of Congress. It took 218 signatures to force a vote to release the Epstein files. Mark Amodei’s name wasn’t one of them. And of course we will never know his reasoning, because he won't hold a town hall to explain.

I’ve read this book, it spoke to the heart of what I try to do in my classroom, teach students to think critically, ask questions and understand their role in a democracy. Thank you, Randi Weingarten, for reminding us that defending public education is at the heart of defending democracy itself.
Attacking public education is a classic authoritarian tactic because schools teach critical thinking and foster pluralism. In my new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers," I talk about what this fight for public education means for our democracy.
