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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.
