Happy #WorldTeachersDay!
Teachers are democracy’s heartbeat.
Even when some try to gag the truth or ban books, teachers are still here, lifting future leaders.
When teachers teach in freedom, students learn to think, not just obey.
Tag a teacher 👏

If Trump hadn’t cut funding from the National Weather Service, lives could have been saved. I’m heartbroken for our friend and advocate David Lawrence.

At the same time now he’s driving Republicans to pass his Big Betrayal Bill that will close rural hospitals, gut Medicaid and give the richest people alive a massive tax cut. That must be fought 24/7 right now.. We need to help working Americans now.

Yesterday was incredible. More than 5M people across the country stood up to say #NoKings. This country belongs to all of us. There are so many people to thank, including Indivisible, ACLU, 50501 and of course all the people who showed up, including our fantastic AFT members in over 1000 rallies

Teacher unions sue Trump over $400 million Columbia University research cuts Trump officials say they targeted Columbia University for failing to protect Jewish students during pro-Palestinian protests last year.

The illegal attack on teaching and learning is dangerous far beyond the Columbia community. It’s meant to stifle innovation, silence speech, and punish critics. That’s unAmerican.
