Opinion | No Matter How Hopeless It Seems, We Should Press for Better, Stricter Gun Laws The prevalence of mass shootings in America is not normal, no other country has to deal with it to this extent, but we are not powerless to act.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

β€œAmong the many tragedies of the Minneapolis school shooting is how commonplace a story like this has become,” German Lopez writes. But β€œthe prevalence of this problem is not normal, no other country has to deal with it to this extent, and we are not powerless to act.”

I can't wait for my students to see the new playground murals next week! I'm also pretty proud of myself for trying something new, collaborating with other teachers, and making something beautiful for our community.

First they locked children in cages, now they want to leave children all alone in perhaps the most vulnerable and consequential moments of their lives. Nope. Not on our watch. #NoChildAlone

Trump Republicans hate the Department of Ed for the same reasons they hate education. They view education as a waste of funds since it exposes their fraud and prevents their abuse of American minds through their outlets of disinformation. Trump Republicans want a country of believers, not thinkers.

What We Learned from Linda McMahon’s Confirmation Hearing | NEA The nominee is ready to dismantle the Department of Education and steer federal funds away from public schools to pay for private school vouchers and tax cuts for the rich.

Linda McMahon’s hearing confirmed what we fearedβ€”she won’t stand up for students.

She refused to protect public schools, backed private school vouchers, and ignored the needs of vulnerable students. Our students deserve better.

Today, Linda McMahon:

❌ Pledged to dismantle the U.S. Dept. of Education, and

❌ Promised to support vouchers, stripping resources from 90% of U.S. students.  

Our students deserve an education secretary who will fight for them, not gut public schools to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
Β 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.Β 

Let's steal those ideas.
