Trump literally could not care less if you live or die.

BREAKING: Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield made history Tuesday night, Nov. 4, becoming the city's first woman mayor in an election she led from start to finish.

CA voters support Prop 50 because they want to stop the erosion of our democracy. Californians deserve a government that fights for better wages, lower costs, and economic opportunity for all. #CAVoteYesProp50 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My response to @edsecmcmahon.govpeeps.us on twitter

Americans want leaders who will expand access to healthcare, lower the cost of groceries and housing, strengthen public schools, make college affordable and embrace workers’ rights. - @rweingarten.bsky.social www.aft.org/column/we-pe...

40 million Americans depend on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), including: 🍎16 million children 🍎8 million seniors 🍎4 million people with disabilities We cannot let working families go hungry. We must protect SNAP. www.cbpp.org/blog/the-tru...

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

7 MILLION PEOPLE. That is how many people showed up today to say America has #NoKings!

Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats in Congress. Instead, he’s willing to shut down the government to make deeper cuts to our healthcare & services we depend on. It’s time for Congress to put families first and stop the #TrumpShutdown. bsky.app/profile/aft....

Day 3 of the #TrumpHealthcareShutdown and Republicans in Congress are still refusing to act—while workers brace for painful rate hikes that eat into every paycheck. Families can’t afford this crisis, but politicians are making it worse.

It’s very simple. Republicans in congress created this crisis—and workers are paying the price. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing while families struggle to keep coverage. Instead of working to fix it, they chose to shut down the government. #TrumpHealthcareShutdown

The president of the United States is: Shutting down the government because he doesn't want to lower healthcare costs for Americans. Telling generals that he wants to use the US military against a greater number of American citizens. How does that make America great? apnews.com/article/trum...

Thank you, Liz and my AFL-CIO family. Fascists fear unions for many of the same reasons they fear teachers. We build community-it directly competes with how fascists seek to divide, and we create agency and opportunity so everyone has a pathway to build a better life. bsky.app/profile/aflc...

Trump & Republicans have control of the White House & Congress, but still can't pass a budget & refuse to negotiate. Our paychecks, healthcare, & schools are NOT bargaining chips. Congress needs to stop the games & do their jobs. Tell your rep: REJECT the #TrumpShutdown.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS FERNDALE, MI” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Republicans plan on cutting healthcare for Americans and laying off more government workers. If Dems were in  power, they would not do that. They are not in power, but I am grateful they are fighting this every way they can. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

My morning read: “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” by @rweingarten.bsky.social in the @nytimes.com: www.aft.org/column/why-f...

When he ran for President last November, Trump promised working families that he'd bring costs down and make things like groceries more affordable. But Trump's economic policies are doing the exact opposite, and families are feeling the squeeze. www.axios.com/local/kansas...

We’re here with Community Bookstore and Congregation Beth Elohim for the launch of @rweingarten.bsky.social’s new book Why Fascists Fear Teachers. She’s having a conversation with @bradlander.bsky.social about the book.

I describe what fascists do. You can make your own decisions. www.WhyFascistsFearTeachers.com

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

Affordable Healthcare, secure retirement, good jobs for people, making sure our immigrant neighbors don't get disappeared, strength public schools not abandon them, and make sure that every single family can see & feel the American Dream... That's what #WorkersDeserve. - @rweingarten.bsky.social

Trump is trying to erase the horrors of slavery from the Smithsonian. It makes me think about how we teach history, when teaching honest history is under assault. Let me tell you about Ryan. He's a social studies teacher in New Hampshire. I write about him in www.WhyFascistsFearTeachers.com

As a new school year begins, families and educators want strong public schools — not cuts, chaos, or cruelty. #ProtectOurKids

Picnics, parades and empowering workers. This #LaborDay, we’re focusing on what all working people deserve. Here's @rweingarten.bsky.social's latest column. #WorkersDeserve www.aft.org/column/picni...

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

This is what fascism looks like.

At its 54th National Education Conference, the A. Philip Randolph Institute honored @rweingarten.bsky.social for her leadership and unwavering dedication to the labor movement.

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

Big Brother controls the past to control the present.

As Americans reckon with deep cuts to Medicaid on its 60th anniversary, there’s a resurgence of activism and organizing to reverse these cuts. www.aft.org/news/educato... #CancelTrumpsMedicaidCuts

Read this! Abandoning students in public schools hurts students. This is not a blue, red, or purple issue—it’s about safe, welcoming, relevant and engaging schools for every child. www.aft.org/column/stren... @rweingarten.bsky.social

Unlike the current Sec of Ed, @rweingarten.bsky.social and the @aft.org understand what AI is and how to deal with its challenges and opportunities. #protectourkids

The current administration is going against 200+ years of support for public education in the US,shifting public money to the wealthy. #protectourkids @aft.org @rweingarten.bsky.social

@rweingarten.bsky.social: In a pluralistic society, people with different beliefs and backgrounds must learn to bridge differences and work together; that happens in our public schools. And, as the founders advocated, educated citizens are essential to protect our democracy from demagogues. #TEACH25

@rweingarten.bsky.social: Donald Trump and his allies don’t just want to abolish the Department of Education. They are laying waste to public education. They’re gutting funding for key personnel and programs so public schools cannot function properly. #TEACH25

Fascists fear teachers because we help create a civil society based on pluralism and democracy. Public schools are the models of democratic ideals. #protectourkids @aft.org @rweingarten.bsky.social

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

Our message to Congress is simple: pay teachers & school support staff what they deserve. #TEACH2025

It’s amazing what shining a spotlight can reveal. While we're encouraged that Gracias has abandoned DOGE & seems to now be taking his core business seriously, it’s disappointing it apparently took letters from his investors to finally flush out the truth. www.aft.org/press-releas...

We have to be out in our communities to fight back. We have to tell our stories. - @rweingarten.bsky.social

From day one, the Trump administration has attacked public education. Now it’s unlawfully blocking $5B in funding already approved by Congress. I’m proud our AFT affiliates are fighting back to protect students and schools. www.aft.org/press-releas...

As our case, @aaup.org v. Rubio wraps up, we begin our case around the Trump administration's attacks on freedom of speech and attacks on our biomedical research infrastructure and his attacks on @harvard.edu! We will win

Thank you @aftct.bsky.social for standing up for our communities! #GoodTroubleLivesOn

“We cannot live in fear. AAUP and our partners will not cower in silence. We will stand with and for higher education writ large. We will stand for democracy.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

Trump’s education cuts are already threatening the programs kids depend on. #ClassroomsNotCuts www.latimes.com/california/s...

Kicking off day 2 of AAUP and @aft.org @afthighered.bsky.social’s Summer Institute at Morehouse College! Lots of energy, joy, and determination as participants converse over breakfast and get ready to #OrganizeFightWin

I'm sorely disappointed by this lawless, unsigned decision that will hurt kids across America. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent, it’s a grave threat to the Constitution’s separation of powers. This administration has abandoned children in public schools. www.cnn.com/2025/07/14/p...
