I’m at CHS graduation and seeing this amazingly diverse group of families celebrate their kids is so very beautiful! 😭

The most wholesome minute of your day.

Yesterday I cried with a coworker whose dad passed away in Afghanistan. Today another coworker picks up her son from a year long deployment. Seniors are graduating next week, but two 19 year olds died this week in car accidents. There’s a lot of joy and a lot of heavy right now.

Just signed out of my union president email account! 👏🏼

Today "millions of Palestinians mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, Arabic for 'catastrophe,' referring to the mass expulsion and flight of some 750,000 Palestinians from what is now Israel during the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation." apnews.com/article/nakb...

Class war: 1. Promise collective bargaining 2. Waste workers’ time by having them lobby you for months 3. Make amendment to weaken bill 4. Waste more worker time 5. Veto saying you’ll hope to pass something next year while workers continue being unable to afford rent vadogwood.com/news/labor/b...

It's crazy how easy it would be to build a fair, decent society. Every day wouldn't be perfect, but it wouldn't be desperate, it wouldn't be terrifying. We could make it good so easily. It's just a few evil, slime-brained, greedy freaks who force horrors on us. We could remove their power. We could.

My emotional support chicken attended a PLC and a staff meeting today.

“We’re proud to be able to do our part here in Charlottesville,” Campbell said. “We’re fighting against a millionaire class that is always going to be able to outspend us, and so the way that we fight that is by banding together in solidarity.” #MayDay #MayDayCville #Charlottesville #StrikeReady

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

now we're at the part where they've called in two UVA professors to "review" their contract with the police. yes, they are the authors of one of the ONLY studies that found positive effects of SROs. yes, it is infuriating to listen to them.

School board/admin “cops are always in our buildings” Data: 25 times this entire school year they were called for a threat assessment. Let’s start being honest about data.

Get you some besties who show up at rallies with GIANT signs to support protecting kids.

We are now hatching chickens and watching tadpoles grow into frogs in my classroom. Adding caterpillars to the Room 9 farm next week!

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Gov. Spanberger is apparently considering vetoing or modifying the collective bargaining bill. Let her know how you feel about this via an email! Pass the Collective Bargaining Bill. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...

Last year, the CCS Board voted to bring armed police back into our schools without meaningful community input and despite concerns from parents, teachers, staff, and students. Research shows School Resource Officers (SROs) don’t make schools safer and can harm our most vulnerable students.

E-biked home from the Luke Combs concert in less than ten minutes. 🚲

Please for the love stop yelling “that’s cheeting!” at people e-biking. Accessibility is not cheating.

Virginians: during the GA session, universities fought to change the immigration bill to ensure that they WOULD NOT be required to notify students, faculty or staff if ICE shows up.

Community showed up to give a whole hour of public comment asking the school board to Rethink & Revote.

My co teacher and our babies!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

LETS GO!

The more you walk and bike, the more you realize how aggressive cars/drivers are.

💔 happening over and over again. Please help if you can.

Whoa my bracket is busted.

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

Stunning.

I feel like this warrants an early dismissal….

1:30 and 3:30pm. March is insane.

Everything I do is for moments like this:

Weirdest text I’ve sent: Hey can I come get some frog eggs tonight?

My pet peeve is elected officials not making eye contact during public comment. And you wonder why people don’t show up to meetings.

New data shows the number of Texas union members is the highest it's been in ten years — and has been steadily growing since 2021. Workers throughout Texas are rising up, organizing, and winning!

This is the way to do it! -------A school suspended 323 students after ICE protest. They protested again. wapo.st/4rYbhBi gift link

Despite several unexpected hurdles, CEA had clear support for this contract.

I am putting away all the snow pants, boots and gloves so Mother Nature I’m gonna need you to behave accordingly.

Roses are red And I guess love is nice But I’ll feel much better When we get rid of ICE

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash

Today we will listen to and encourage our support staff— the backbone of our schools. Then at 5pm at Walker we SHOW UP to fight for a fair contract, the negotiated 10.5% raise, and for elected officials to stop disparaging workers rights. See you there.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Tried to watch Bridgerton for some down time but episode 3 ended up being about labor rights of maids and rich people treating them poorly while trying to claim they were “family.” 🤣😒 I can’t escape!

A great action you can take TODAY to support workers.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps
