If you think our tax $ should be spent to pay school cafeteria staff a living wage (and not to put police in schools), you're our people! Join us tomorrow!

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Union work is hard and frustrating a lot of days, but we had two big wins today including the reduction of police officers from 4 to 2 and the reversal of a classist work day policy. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Support our local CAT workers on Monday by showing up at City Council and telling them to fund our transit system! Full info here: tinyurl.com/4u9xane3 #SolidaritySeptember #WorkersOverBillionaires

Also listening to us after you already made a decision….

it’s not enough to provide listening sessions or “info hours” 😶 after you rush a vote. I refuse to subscribe to this idea that there is this silent majority driving this ship that no one has ever seen.

Listening to the school board presentation on the return of SROs, and one thing that caught my attention was that the process of getting the MOU in place is not up for further SB votes. Sure they'll have "listening" sessions but the school admin doesn't really have any checks on moving ahead

In case no one has told you today, no longer honoring those who fought for slavery isn’t erasure… it’s called making better decisions.

THIS.

www.29news.com/2025/09/02/c... 1000 people showed up to support workers rights yesterday! It was so encouraging.

I come from a union family: my dad was a Vietnam veteran and my mom was a teaching assistant and proud WEAC member. I saw firsthand how organized labor gave our family stability, dignity, and opportunity. Those values shaped who I am today.

On Labour Day let's give a shout out to all of the paid and unpaid workers who keep our world running on track. Who keep us well, fed, trains running on time, build our homes, care for our children. Let's thank unions for ensuring they are treated fairly and not exploited…

This country. 💔

Ditto for SRO’s.

last night i got to watch our school leadership pull a real local politics classic: acting like they want feedback from the public while desperately trying to avoid receiving feedback from the public. proud of everybody who showed up and gave it to them anyway 😘

This “Let’s Talk about it” event was 2 hours. Only 20 minutes were given to the people who showed up to actually talk. In a “small group” of over 30. The rest of the time we were talked AT.

In case you need a reminder of why we are in this SRO situation and who should be held accountable. #November

Happy first day of school!!

Realized this morning I moved back to Cville in August 20 years ago. ❤️

Attended a four hour safety training today that included active shooter scenarios acted out (that I opted out of). I cannot begin to explain the level of exhaustion of educators when it comes to this.

One week until I’m back in Room 9 for year 16!! I have an Amazon wishlist but am also using Staples or local stores to avoid supporting them. If you want to help a classroom out it’s greatly appreciated ❤️ www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

When Andrew Jackson sent Native Americans on the Trail of Tears, it was a policy choice. When the British diverted food away from the Irish during The Great Hunger, it was a policy choice. The starvation & death in Gaza is no different. This is a policy choice & our government is complicit in it.

In Gaza... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just did 3 hours with 17 kindergarteners and I am SO TIRED. Gotta get in work shape 😂

Yesterday, one of our union leaders was arrested during an ICE raid in Camarillo, CA, while he was lawfully observing immigration enforcement activities. www.calfac.org/statement-condemning-the-abduction-and-disappearance-of-cfa-members-in-camarillo/

there are over 90,000 separate local governments in the United States, you still have something you can influence. school board meetings and small town city councils may not be glamorous but they’re easy places to gain power and that’s why the fash started there take the playbook

All I can see are hungry, sick students. 💔

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Recently finished Kingdom of No Tomorrow by Fabienne Josaphat, a fictional book about the Black Panther Party. Led me down a rabbit hole to learn history I was never taught & now I’m halfway done with Revolution in Our Time by Kekla Magoon. My kids are getting lots of history this week!

Trump continues to just refuse to fund programs he doesn't like despite the fact that he does not have the authority to pick and choose which Congressional appropriations he likes and which he doesn't. He simply views himself as a dictator. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

The Trump administration already figured out deportation is too expensive. Within a year we will read news stories about them being used for slave labor on farms, in meat processing plants, and other dangerous or labor-intensive work. They already do this in southern state prisons.

Happy Contract Day to CCS licensed staff! Cheers to a significant raise, protected planning time, a guaranteed lunch break, and limits on work outside of contract hours among other things! #Unionstrong

Yesssss

what makes me especially angry is none of these people will ever answer to the public. i want to ask one of the 86 year old plaintiffs whether my six year old’s friends should have to move because their parents can’t afford a home here?

She’s taller than me.

Dems: "We need to spend millions of dollars figuring out how to get young people to turn out and vote for us." Mamdani: "I got young people to turn out for free on a platform that is pro-Palestine, pro trans, and anti-billionaire." Dems: "We have to destroy him."

"...this is what residents of Westhaven woke up to Tuesday morning last week — an armored vehicle with a heavily armed officer in the turret being used to execute multiple search warrants in connection with shooting investigations."

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Rode the train to my cousin’s pool party, which feels like the most Gillikin thing ever.

This is transit content AND housing content.

Another reason why bargaining matters!

oh so we should dissent peacefully?? through legitimate channels?? like by being elected to the united states senate and asking questions at a DHS press conference???

My grandmother came to the US the "right way" because Congress created legislation to allow her & tens of thousands of other war brides to immigrate after WW2. We solve the immigration "crisis" by creating legal pathways for people to come here not by criminalizing people for wanting a better life.

Taught my kids to play a new card game and promptly kicked their butts. Their response: Bruh! Mom’s hacking!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social
