Educators are leading the fight to protect public schools in Southern Arizona and we need YOU to show up and make your voice heard! Join Tucson EA, Sunnyside EA, Flowing Wells EA, Marana EA, Amphitheater EA & our allies to rally in Tucson on Sunday from 2-3 PM. RSVP and help us spread the word! ⬇️

Analyzing data published on DOGE's own website, the Associated Press found that 40 percent of DOGE's "savings" have not saved the government anything. What a joke.

We need more organizing and push back at local levels. Thanks to the Forest Lake Education Association, students, parents and community leaders for standing up for what their community needs - in this case welcoming, safe and inclusive schools for students. www.startribune.com/forest-lake-...

Idiocracy was a documentary

Rather than a long post detailing my experiences at the state capitol this week, I will leave it at this: for folks who claim that they have the people, the power of a righteous cause, and an ascendant movement on their side, they sure seem frightened, angry and miserable.

Defending Trump’s power grab with the “unitary executive theory” is just a fancy way of claiming the president can rule the executive branch like a monarch. This argument has no basis in history or the Constitution.

"I had no idea that the meeting I am planning to attend on February 20th is being sponsored by individuals who … are espousing philosophies to which I am diametrically opposed," one mayor said via @jerodmacevoy.com

Your discomfort with politics won’t protect you from its consequences.

As an elected union leader & veteran history educator, I live in a mental spiral of both fear & hope. We have seen this before, attacks on the public good & the vulnerable, the racism & fear-mongering. And we know the antidote, solidarity, collective action, & disruption. Y’all stretch, it’s time. ✊🏽

BREAKING: Utah BANNING firefighters, police, teachers, and other govt workers from negotiating for better pay and benefits for them and their families This is MAGA: 1) False promises to help people against elites 2) Destroy middle class workers and families -- to benefit elites

The German Labour Front was the Nazi replacement for the trade unions that Hitler dissolved completely in 1933. Here was their logo, complete with 14 teeth, the same as the DOGE logo. Symbols Matter! h/t Jim Stewartson MindWar

As you get ready to spend Valentine’s Day with your loved ones, make sure to buy union made goods ❤️

When farmers & rural areas start to organize to push back against Elon, tariffs, & essential program cuts, please, please reach out to your local teachers to work with you. They can help you organize & there's an incredible amount of common ground to work from. We can work together. I've seen it.

This idea is good. America is ready for this. We have to cut through the bs of memes. @gallego.senate.gov @senatormark.bsky.social @repgregstanton.bsky.social

National veterans group calls for release of Iraq War veteran arrested and detained by ICE www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

This says it all

AZ could provide nutritious meals to ALL of our public school students for less than the $400 million hole in our budget caused by private school vouchers. Minnesota for the win.

Karrin Taylor Robson calling herself a “business woman” is my favorite part of the ad announcing her candidacy for Governor of AZ. Her “business” is “lobbying.” Just weeks after she lost her 1st gov primary in 22 KTR went back to lobbying. She is still actively a paid lobbyist as of this morning.

“I barely knew him” in 3…2…1…

Understand this: by trying to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elon Musk and Russ Vought are trying to make it easier for big banks to cheat you. It’s another way the Trump administration wants to reward the rich and powerful while hurting working people.

There's no more dedicated, creative, caffeine-infused energy on the planet than the teachers and staff in our neighborhood schools.

Call us teachers ugly and attack our students and watch what happens. Never underestimate the power of a group of teachers. Right, @unionjoe.bsky.social ?

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

Health insurance is not meant to keep you healthy. It’s meant to serve as an obstacle to care while picking your pocket.

Once you pardon insurrectionists the rest of your decisions seem like a no-brainer.

Once you pardon Insurrectionists other issues seem easy.

👇🏽 🎯 as we’ve been saying

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Organizing and collective action are always the best way to fight against those who wish to use power, corruption, and division to exploit you. We have agency and power when we fight together. Find your people. Join a union. Volunteer to learn more and help. Don't dispair. Unite and act.

DAY TWO of Isaac Educators working without pay! — we have hope…. But hope doesn’t pay for our rent, food and gas. These public educators are literally holding this AZ community together. 🔗 to help — linktr.ee/ArizonaEA

🚨 URGENT ACTION for public school champions: Reach out to state legislators TODAY to urge them to find an immediate solution for Isaac School District. The district faces the danger of school closures, which would be devastating for students & teachers. bit.ly/3Wywip7

What she said…

Racism has no time for process.

Rep. Andy Biggs began the process of running for Governor today. Having worked with Mr. Biggs, I can safely say that there are few people who have less of the patience or temperament required for the day to day work of running a state. Bloviating won't cut it when people depend on real results.

Admittedly, we have not given the executive order forbidding the CDC from talking about bird flu enough time to work. Pretending that the problem doesn't exist will eventually lower the price of eggs. Just wait, you'll see.

As a proud union organizer I am excited to support @benwikler for DNC chair. Ben knows that Dems need to organize voters from all walks of life, partner with labor unions & continue to build strong state & local party orgs across the US. Organizing happens everyday & Ben knows how to fight & win!

Many people know about the Nazi movement in Germany, but few know it was popular in the US before WW2. Support PBS before trump defunds it and watch the full documentary. www.pbs.org/wgbh/america... 10 mins www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbp_... www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-h-... #trump #antitrump #nazi

Donald Trump is assembling a government of the ultra-rich like the country has never seen before. All told there are about 15 reported billionaires joining the administration if Trump has his way. So America, it's time to get to know your billionaire overlords.

This is disgusting. The Dems are normalizing the fact we have a FOTUS running this country. Dems don’t get another cent from me until they step up as the opposition party. the Repuglicans would not be acting like this if Harris won. We are quickly disintegrating into the party of losers.

I’m really not crazy about Twitter’s new logo.

If you are looking for help handling the new reality that ICE may make arrests in your school, NEA @neatoday.bsky.social has published a guidance document that can answer some questions on this & many other immigration/education issues. h/t @irispoppy.bsky.social #edusky

He's tossed a deck of MAGA cards. Trump’s executive order blitz is a swarming tactic designed to overwhelm and create outrage fatigue. We need a strategic response on what matters, not just a press reaction. This is an opportunity to ORGANIZE and frame the narrative around our vision for the future
