Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

So…

The bill passed?

I mean… I’m not surprised…

But like… there are still SO MANY PEOPLE who have absolutely no idea just how fucked we are.

This will have decades-long repercussions.

This isn’t okay.

Ugh.

I can’t imagine celebrating a day when people are actively losing their freedom. I’ll be sitting this one out.

Last night, while we were celebrating our statewide Democratic ticket and the upcoming Virginia elections in November, our current President violated international law and put our military and nation at risk of entering another war in the Middle East.

I called @booker.senate.gov to thank him. I choked up as I left my message.

I'm a 67 year old 1st time protester. I'm out there because I'm afraid for our country. I'm afraid for the people in it.

Call every GOP senator to shame them and every Dem senator to encourage them.

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

Vouchers: Fighting Back on Behalf of Our Students and Communities Our public schools, the heart of so many communities across America, are facing an unprecedented attack. Powerful special interests are pushing hard for multiple forms of vouchers, from tuition tax cr...

Did you know that private schools are able to reject kids with special needs who require more expensive supports and can refuse individualized education programs (IEPs)? Learn more here: www.aft.org/vouchers

Reuter's found 2:3 Americans oppose abolishing Dept of Ed

Nevertheless, Trump announced plans to ELIMINATE DoE programs that support ALL students across America! This is a direct attack on our public schools and the futures of 50 million students -- our kids & grandkids

When you’re part of an organization with real power in numbers, but half the group throws up their hands and just says, β€œmeh, it will blow over”. So infuriating.

Orange thing shuts down Dept of Ed. Someone I *just* voted for to be part of my teacher’s union replied, β€œmeh, the pendulum will swing back around one day.” I want to kick his teeth out. Seriously, I thought this guy was in it for change and advocacy. I’m so mad right now.
