We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration for threatening to conduct mass firings of federal employees if the government shuts down tonight. Using people’s livelihoods as a bargaining chip is both cruel and illegal. That’s why we’ve joined forces with unions to protect these vital jobs.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” — Rep. John Lewis

Senators betrayed students, educators, and working families today. Passing this unconscionable budget is both a political failure and a moral one. This bill will devastate our schools and communities—all to finance massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Shame.

Our schools cannot afford a $6.8 billion funding cut. Students will suffer.

The Trump admin just withheld $6.8B in critical education funding—money that overwhelmingly supports students through their local school districts. But together with @studentdefense.bsky.social, @edlawcenter.bsky.social, @afscmemd.org, and NAACP, we’re taking legal action to stop it.

A word on the sanctity of birthright citizenship: Rights that Black Americans created for our liberation—also benefitting countless others—are routinely undermined by opponents of our freedom who try to convince us it is in our interest to adopt their narrowest construction. 1/4

David Huerta, President of California's largest union, was assaulted and detained Friday by ICE. Now the @aflcio.org, the biggest confederation of unions in America made up of nearly 15 million active and retired workers, is calling on members to protest on his behalf.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Thank goodness. Trump's executive overreach, firing of thousands of education workers, and illegal dismantling of this essential department have been blocked by the courts.
