How tragic that this country’s leaders refuse to come together and make decisions to protect children and teens from their leading cause of death: firearms. What kind of a country allows kids to be shot up in their schools, over and over again? www.aft.org/press-releas... @abbeyclements.bsky.social

Do you know about how Norway's teachers stood up to Nazis? I talk about it in my new book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers. You can preorder here: www.WhyFascistsFearTeachers.com

Reposted w/correct numbers! Whatever you’ve been doing, STOP & LISTEN (read). This is happening on our soil in our name paid for with our tax dollars. Every one of us should call our House members & Senators. 202-224-3121 And flood the call lines to Gov. DeSantis’ office: 850-717-9337

Sky Chefs workers are standing up today at US airports! They ensure airline passengers & crew are fed but some still must choose between food & healthcare. American, Delta, United, and Alaska airlines: Catering workers deserve 💰 Better wages 🩺 Affordable health care

Instead of getting the resources and supports they need to help our children thrive, teachers and public schools get smeared. That's why I wrote this book: Why Fascists Fear Teachers. It's available now for pre-order; in bookstores in Sept. www.WhyFascistsFearTeachers.com

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is big but hardly beautiful. #protectourkids @rweingarten.bsky.social @aft.org

Horrific

With Medicaid under attack & millions of hardworking Americans losing the health care services they depend on, @rweingarten.bsky.social, @aft.org & @uftnyc.bsky.social are standing up & speaking out on the National Mall tonight, part of a 60 hour vigil to save Medicaid, organized by Families First.

To everyone who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers, now is the time to get even louder. Call Congress and tell them to sign the discharge petition for the Protect America’s Workforce Act to reverse Trump’s union-busting executive order! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Today we launched the National Academy for AI Instruction with UFT, Microsoft, OpenAI & Anthropic to offer free, high-quality AI training to educators. Some of you have expressed legitimate reservations about AI and tech companies. I want to speak to you directly. 🧵

This bill will remove healthcare for 17M people, slash food assistance for 22M, shutter hundreds of hospitals, defund higher education, cut jobs, target immigrant communities and explode the national debt—all for tax breaks to the ultra-rich. www.aft.org/press-releas...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just broke the record for the longest floor speech!!! Making history on ensuring the American people understand why this Republican mega bill is a huge ugly betrayal to the American people. Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.” These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

We have to respect all children and all families. Bad facts make bad law. Mahmoud should have been worked out on a local level, it's a shame it went all the way to SCOTUS. Everyone believes parents should have rights, they are our partners in education. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Good! Senate Republicans can’t use the Big Ugly Bill to end run the legislative process to slash Medicaid or create a national school voucher program. But they are still trying to find a way to do it so keep telling Congress how harmful these policies would be! www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

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.

Horrific decision!

Hard to argue with that.

Let’s stop pretending we’re living through anything resembling normal. Let’s bury the lie that the Rep. Party is a political movement. It’s not. It’s a radicalized cult of personality wrapped in the American flag & soaked in gasoline, waiting for the next match. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Text Bank: Turn Out AFT Members for the June 14 NO KINGS Day of Action www.mobilize.us/aft/event/79...

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

Trump yielded to SCOTUS Friday by releasing Abrego Garcia. He then picked a fight Saturday deploying the National Guard & now the Marines & calling the protest ICE provoked an “insurrection.” This massive overreach is what Kings do,not US presidents.That’s why we are peacefully protesting June 14

On Friday, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. SEIU, USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. Call the Senate at 1-833-312-1711 & demand they fight to free David Huerta & end ICE raids!

THIS!!!!

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Take action today and raise our collective voices about the impact of charter schools. #takingourmoney #longislandagainstcharterschools

There are multiple examples of vouchers being a disaster in states already!! Vouchers enable discrimination. Private schools can deny students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ youth & religious minorities—with zero recourse. Public money shouldn't fund exclusion! #HandsOffPublicSchools

Trump's “big, beautiful bill” is more like a big, ugly betrayal. Here are the top 10 things you need to know.

Project 2025 laid out the plan for NOAA and FEMA, but folks voted for him anyway. So now that Trump has gutted both agencies. You won’t know it’s coming, and to add insult to serious injury, when it tears through your community and state, FEMA may not show up to help.

Take all the time you need with this because you’ve got 3½ more years to ponder: If you sat out the 2024 election, you voted against your own interests too— by way of abstention.

Donald Trump's bill hands trillions in tax breaks to billionaires—while gutting the services working families rely on. Here are the top 10 things you need to know.

2 million Americans rely on Medicaid support for cancer treatment, including 1 in 3 children. Yet, the GOP is trying to rip this healthcare away from families so billionaires can get tax breaks! #DefendMedicaidDefeatCancer winshipcancer.emory.edu/newsroom/art...

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
