Join me and @edequitykc.bsky.social for a great conversation and some action steps about The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee! publicschoolstrong.controlshift.app/events/banne...

The party should be looking at ways to censure Fetterman. This vote split doesn’t even come close to representing how unpopular this war is with voters, much less Democratic voters who sent him to represent us. www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/05...

Good morning! GRWM KS-03! Today is another full day of work so that my hard earned tax dollars can fund wars of choice, a gaudy arch, an unnecessary ballroom, and blatant bribes? Are we great yet? #howarewedoing #grwm #grwmstorytime

@surjkc.bsky.social (and partners) @bannedtogetherdoc.bsky.social screening was a powerful afternoon learning. I came out of it knowing much more about what the local LGBTQ community and communities of color faces from the Right and how to effectively join with students to fight back! Go see it!

🚨 7,000 NEA teachers voted to cut ties with the ADL — the union’s leadership just overruled them. But organizers say the vote marks a turning point: rank-and-file educators are rising for Palestine. Here’s how the fight to #DropTheADL is just getting started: mondoweiss.net/2025/07/nea-...

Show up to oppose the destructive company CoreCivic from opening an ICE prison in Leavenworth

You may have heard of Zohran Mamdani: the DSA member who just won the primary race for mayor of New York City. He is a democratic socialist... but what does that mean? Read this thread to see if you're a democratic socialist too.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵

In the past month, 370 teachers signed up at ZEP for free people’s history lessons from Decatur, GA; Ridgeland, MI; Omaha, NE; Dover, NH; Philadelphia, PA; Providence, RI; Nashville, TN; & more cities.

While regenerative A.I. sounds futuristic, the energy required to power them comes from burning good, old fashioned dinosaur bones If you’re wonder where bazillionares like Elon Musk are building these new toxic, environmentally unfriendly data centers… You must be new here.

Thank you Kansas City for coming out to #TeachTruth day of action to stand up for educators and honest education! @zinnedproject.bsky.social

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

‘This is not over’: Tesla Takedown protesters keep pressure on Elon Musk despite DOGE exit “This is not over because Musk decided to go home with his tail between his legs,” said co-organizer Melissa Knutson. #TeslaTakedown #HandsOff #FightOligarchy www.cnn.com/2025/06/07/b...

Public education is the foundation of a multiracial democracy. If we are serious about ensuring quality education for all students — not just the wealthiest — we must reject efforts to defund public schools and criminalize our youth.

10 days away! Have you signed up yet? Come out to support local educators and learn about the history of resistance and resilience of Black and Indigenous people in our area with a caring community. Enjoy some snacks and don’t forget to bring banned book to exchange @zinnedproject.bsky.social

Countless teachers are bravely committed to defending the freedom to learn — & thereby defend democracy & justice — in their classrooms. They can’t do it alone. They need our public support. Make some noise. Host a #TeachTruth Day of Action event, June 7. Add your city to the map. Read how ⬇️

A Palestinian student arrested during an interview about finalizing his US citizenship helped launch a $1 million fundraising campaign to strengthen the legal safety net for immigrants in Vermont on Thursday, a week after a federal judge freed him from custody.

This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

📊 NEA’s new report shows most teacher salaries still lag behind pre-recession levels. It’s time to pay educators like the professionals they are.

"More than two dozen pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested Monday after occupying an engineering building at the University of Washington, where they demanded the university sever ties with Boeing over its military contracts and role in supplying weapons used in the war in Gaza."

The first domino falls! Today Lehigh County, Pennsylvania became the first US pension fund to suspend new Tesla purchases in its actively managed funds 👏🍸🎉 #teslatakedown substack.com/home/post/p-...

All's well that ends well. #HEYHEYHEYHEY

We are so honored and humbled to win this award, and know the work goes on more urgently than ever. Thank you @neatoday.bsky.social and our partners @mojwjva.bsky.social @surj.bsky.social and more www.nea.org/professional...

Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to back Trump last year, much of it through dark money PACs that shrouded their spending in secrecy. If Trump really wanted to crack down on secretive election influence efforts, he would start not with small-dollar Democratic donors, but with Musk.
