I was glad to discuss “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” tonight at @huntercollege.bsky.social. America’s educators are what make our democracy strong—by teaching students how to think, not what to think, & creating opportunities for all kids to succeed. That’s why my book is a love letter to teachers.

AFT has been working for years to make college more affordable and more accessible - part of that work is helping our members navigate the student loan system. Check out these resources to learn more about #PSLF, income-driven repayment plans, and more.

One of the best parts of this work is seeing educators show up for their students and communities. I want to lift up @nysut.bsky.social, Baltimore Teachers Union, and @floridaea.bsky.social — each showing what it means to build schools rooted in care, joy, and connection. #PublicSchoolProud

Now more than ever families across the US & its territories are facing the uncertainty of not being able to provide meals for families. So, during SOMOS Day of Service, we also stopped by El Comedor de la Kennedy, a community kitchen, that feeds thousands of children & seniors across Puerto Rico.

A great night with @votejgr.bsky.social discussing Why Facists Fear Teachers with a crowd of dozens of educators & community members in San Juan.

Kicked off SOMOS, Inc. 2025 with @nysut.bsky.social panel on AI moderated by @sengonzalezny.bsky.social. The number one issue that states should focus on is regulating surveillance & privacy followed by the regulation of chat box usage by children under 13.

SOMOS Day of Service was a labor of love that exemplified the core principle of giving back—no one can do everything, but we all can do something. Thanks @nysut.bsky.social, @uftnyc.bsky.social, @nyspef.bsky.social & AMPR for making PR schools & the families they serve a little better & brighter.

It is outrageous ICE is behaving this way, traumatizing our kids and terrorizing families. They are violently grabbing parents in front of families. They deploy tear gas near schools and playgrounds and Halloween parades. Now storming into a daycare. This must stop.

Toledo deserves a leader with a proven record of support for public education and for standing up for working families. Our locals endorsed Mayor Kapszukiewicz because it’s important to have an advocate for education and opportunity in the mayor’s office. Congrats on your re-election!

👏Our CA locals supported Prop 50's temporary changes to congressional district maps. This is a repudiation of the president’s cruel, chaotic, corrupt agenda that made working people’s lives harder. It is also a reaffirmation of hope & opportunity in the face of fear & despair. @cftunion.bsky.social

Dems have won Va with a moderate, have won NJ with a liberal and NYC with a progressive- it’s all about fighting for working people to deal with the cost of living and a repudiation of the cruelty, cronyism and abuses of Trump, Trumpism

Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the grassroots movement of supporters for an inspiring, historic campaign. Working people in NYC rejected Cuomo/Trump/Musk to support someone they know will make this city we call home a safer, more affordable place for all families to thrive.

Great news out of PA. Christine Donohue, David Wecht & Kevin M. Dougherty retain their seats on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. AFT locals endorsed them because keeping an independent court ensures elections remain free from partisan interference heading into the midterms. @aftpa.bsky.social
