Bravo to AFT, NYSUT ant NEA for the tireless advocacy to make this happen! 👏🏻👏🏻Trump Administration Live Updates: White House to Release $5.5 Billion in Frozen Education Funds www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

I was at the No Kings rally in Corning, NY and agree that it was a peaceful and powerful day in defense of our democracy. This is an important time in our nation, and as AFT President Randi Weingarten says, we must keep building upon this momentum! www.aft.org/column/takin...

Workers Memorial Day. #WorkersMemorialDay.

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

Proud to stand with thousands in 🦬 NY saying #HandsOff. Thank you @nysut.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social Director @doraleland.bsky.social Thank you @reptimkennedy.bsky.social for standing with us. @aftunion.bsky.social @melindajperson.bsky.social @mrgriz.bsky.social @nysaflcio.bsky.social

Shenanigans at the NYSUT Committee of 100.. before the work begins; a little fun.

Amazing energy at the #ProtectOurSchools rally today in Albany.

Pleasure to hear John Mannion speak at the NYSUT PAC meeting today. His tireless advocacy is inspiring and greatly appreciated.

Medicaid supports people from birth to after retirement and is essential to keeping hospitals open and supporting students at school. We can't let Congress cut this vital program. Tell Congress: Keep your hands off of Medicaid! actionnetwork.org/letters/medi...

Leader Envy…

A budget bill that gives the biggest benefits to the wealthy while families who rely on Medicaid are left worse off would be an absolute betrayal to American workers. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

Heard on NPR this morning… “The free world needs a new leader.” #rejectfascist47

If Trump wants to put America first, he'd support all our children. Instead, he's putting America's children last. That should trouble us who still believe in the ideals of the United States of America. More in my op-ed with NAACP President Derrick Johnson. www.newsweek.com/naacp-aft-le...

Public schools and federal funding make it possible for kids like Laura’s sons to thrive. Taking away the funding for programs like IDEA would leave thousands of students with fewer opportunities and pathways to a better life. #ProtectOurKids bsky.app/profile/aftu...

Eggs are $8.05/dozen—a 38% increase since Jan. 2025. Trump promised to lower grocery prices, but working families pay more for essentials while the wealthy get tax breaks. No relief on food, housing, or healthcare—just more broken promises. It’s time for policies that work for us, not just the rich.

Shame. AMERICA. SHAME.

Big win for workers! The AFT is standing up to Wall Street, demanding accountability from Tesla’s largest investors. Our retirement savings shouldn’t be tied to Musk’s reckless choices. #UnionStrong www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/b...

Families need access to affordable food more than billionaires need tax breaks.

📢700,000+ children enter classrooms every day burdened by homelessness, unmet health needs, + lack of basic essentials. When kids are focused on survival, learning takes a backseat. Child poverty is not inevitable. I’m supporting NYSUT’s fight to end childhood poverty. @nysut.bsky.social

What would the Trump administration’s cuts to public education mean to kids with disabilities? Laura Franz is a teacher in Albany, NY, and a mom of 2 sons with autism. This is her story. #ProtectOurKids @nysut.bsky.social

"Trump's plan is clear. By defunding and dismantling public education and other democratic institutions, he hopes to oversee the privatization and fragmentation of government services." Read more in the latest op-ed from @rweingarten.bsky.social & NAACP President Derrick Johnson.

Trump sided with Putin today in his Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky. Russia and China are the only ones applauding. It was an embarrassment and a tragic abuse of American foreign policy, as well as undermining our national interests. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Dear Rest of the World: Not all Americans are low-information slugs. We’re mortified and embarrassed. Not all of us voted for Trump. We’re educated, thoughtful, and we stand with you and with Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Shameful behavior..

This is almost unbearable to watch. The leaders of the US harassing the leader of Ukraine- a nation invaded by Russia. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Updating Foundation Aid is key & this year’s Exec proposal is a step forward. We must also address regional costs, Special Ed funding & support for English language learners. Every student deserves the resources they need, no matter their zip code. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

trump pardoned murders and insurrectionists, he made an EO that to overturned a SCOTUS decision, & then he unilaterally redefine the constitution. He is trying to use shock and awe to get us to quietly comply with orders. I will use all of my resources to resist. I will not follow his orders.

If you’re still on Facebook, check and see if you’re suddenly following Trump’s and Vance’s official FB pages. I was, and I immediately unfollowed them. #MarkZuckerberg is an ass kisser and a sneaky piece of shit.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

We remain committed to using the power and strength of the largest labor union in the country to ensure every public school is a safe space for every student, regardless of the language they speak or their immigration status.

Sigh. I’m really sad that President Trump, at the apex of his career, missed the opportunity,again,to bring America together. Americans are good people, they need a President that builds on the nation's ingenuity, moxie & diversity; a President who helps all people in our great country thrive
