Texas AFT, backed by AFT, filed a federal suit because educators constitutional right to free speech shouldn’t be weaponized against the people who educate our kids. I want to bring focus to our members... who I could not be prouder of. — our members are taking a stand against censorship.

📢 Free speech is free speech. Educators across Texas have been retaliated against for constitutionally protected speech that had no bearing on job performance and no impact on their classrooms. Read more about our lawsuit against TEA in the New York Times article below 👇

Florida’s voucher audit is a warning: the state lost track of 30,000 students and hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars that should have supported public schools. Kids pay the price when there’s no oversight. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

This order is a major win for students & academic freedom. The Trump–Vance admin tried to strong-arm the UC system and its faculty and staff into giving up their free speech rights — and they were stopped. Proud that AFT was part of the coalition that stood up democracyforward.org/updates/cour...

No kings, no crowns, no thrones. Texas labor showed up throughout the state at #NoKings Rallies to send a message to the world that there are no kings in America, and that true power is built when working people come together in solidarity! ✊�

There is a war on knowledge—and teachers are on the frontlines. I wrote Why Fascists Fear Teachers to answer the question many educators & parents are asking right now: Why the relentless attacks on public schools and on educators? It’s my first book!! You can pre-order it here: www.aft.org/book

If we really believe that Public Ed is essential for Americans, particularly our young people, we have to talk to and listen to everyone. My Fox Digital Op Ed

The unions that represent federal workers aren’t going anywhere. The entire labor movement stands shoulder-to-shoulder with federal sector unions to fight these outrageous attacks on our freedoms. We will not let Trump destroy what we’ve fought for generations to build.

Last vestiges of personal acct gone from the symbol formerly known as Twitter.

#txlege is considering #HB1078, a common-sense bill to help veterans get information on the benefits they’ve earned! It’s time to get it across the finish line. USW Local 759 President Raj Penn and USW Local 13-2001 President Aquarius Johnson testified in support of the bill at the hearing. #txlege

Whenever I give a public speech, the GOP attacks me for working with labor unions. But I’d rather stand alongside unions and working families than crawl at the feet of billionaires. #jobsandfamilies ✊

He’s desperate to deflect away from his bad decisions and his play to play stunts on our White Lawn. #tasteless #Pay2Play

As we argued to investors about our members' pension funds, Elon Musk is acting like an angry toddler on the internet instead of protecting Tesla shareholders. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms, so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government.

We’re honored to welcome AFT Michigan President Terrence Martin and Texas AFT President Zeph Capo to discuss “How We Fight Back,” regardless of the political party in power. #CFTConv2025 @aftunion.bsky.social @texasaft.org

Breaking news! The court just issued us a TRO in our lawsuit against Elon Musk's DOGE, so that they stop taking the private data of American citizens from the Department of Ed and OPM. More to come.

Protect—don’t wreck—our children’s futures. My latest column: www.aft.org/column/prote...

I recently co-authored a new article on student attendance. It will be published by @aftunion.bsky.social in our #AmericanEducator magazine very soon. Stay tuned!

Going on strike is never easy—it's always a last resort. Educators at El Camino Real Charter HS in Los Angeles started their strike today for a fair contract because the school's board of directors have remained unwilling to make long term commitments to educators. spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-...

Hold March 4th at 6:00 pm for a virtual conversation with @texasaft.org on the consequences for our kids of closing the Dept of Ed.

Democrats need to reconnect with working folks. That requires new leadership and new energy. That means electing Ben Wikler as our next DNC chair. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Today marks the start of Black History Month. Now more than ever, AFSCME is committed to honoring those who came before us to fight for racial and economic justice while continuing to #GetOrganized for civil and workers' rights.

Public workers put others above themselves only to be attacked by paid talking heads and bots. Thank you to all the municipal workers, public safety workers and volunteers helping those in need.
