UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse.
Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

It’s been a busy 36 hours! From a walk in yesterday morning at my school to speaking at the Adams 12 Five Star Schools board meeting last night with the facts to a rally at the Colorado Capitol today, we were busy fighting for public education! ✊ A cut is a cut, + our students are paying the price.

Disturbing: Almost, if not 100%, of U.S. Department of Education's Office of General Counsel has been "laid off."
That's the Department's lawyers.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does.
