Just so fucking crazy. And so wrong. So Ron Johnson, just completely ignore the Constitution and the law? Leave it all up to one person? So…let’s just have a King?

As if I couldn’t love our nurses more. Thank you for speaking up and showing up for our kids, our families, and our communities!

Tonight I joined hundreds of people from across the country on the May Day Strong call to share how our AFT members have been marching forth this March 4 day of action and standing up for our proactive vision for America. We're fighting for the opportunity that all working people deserve.

That's the premise of the Childhood Index, which the Anxious Generation team launched this morning. We want Governors competing to out-do each other to lead on passing things like Kids Code.

Exclusive: New York, Utah lead nation in protecting children's mental wellbeing "Right now, a kid's chance at flourishing depends on their zip code," the Anxious Generation Movement said.

What if, instead of competing to offer taxpayer-funded subsidies to build Jeff Bezos a helipad or to put a data center in your backyard, states competed to have the best policies for kids and technology?

Collective bargaining gives workers a voice on the job to fight for what kids, patients & communities need - and because of years of hard work, @fcft.bsky.social members made collective bargaining a reality in Virginia. Thrilled to kick off March 4 with our Fairfax educators.

Apollo Faces Class Action Over Alleged Epstein Business Ties - Law360 Apollo Global Management and its billionaire co-founders Leon Black and Marc Rowan have been hit with a proposed class action in New York federal court alleging they misled investors about the firm's ...

Apollo is now facing a class action over its alleged business ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Investors, which include our members, deserve answers—and the public deserves accountability. This demands real scrutiny, not silence.

Senate strikes deal on Trump’s housing idea Congress is moving forward with a proposal to shut institutional investors out of housing despite the sustained skepticism of some free-market Republicans.

The Senate has reached a bipartisan housing deal. The real test isn’t the announcement—it’s whether housing will become more affordable and accessible for working families. We’ll be watching.

Oklahoma legislature advances bill that would remove tenure at OU, public universities The Oklahoma legislature advanced a bill Tuesday that would remove the possibility of tenure for OU faculty, limit contract agreements to five years and require each state institute for higher

Tenure protects faculty’s right to teach & students’ right to learn. It's integral to the pursuit of knowledge and research, and to free speech and expression. Scrapping tenure silences educators & stymies medical research. @AFT.org & @AAUP.org are fighting this www.oudaily.com/news/oklahom...

ICE training was slashed, records show, corroborating whistleblower claims Previously unreported records also offer new details about what was cut from ICE’s basic training program. Concerns about the quality of ICE agents’ training have mounted for months.

Our members and our communities have experienced chaos and violence caused by improperly trained, unaccountable agents. We need greater accountability and transparency of ICE operations.

The AI political resistance has arrived Inside the secret meeting that united the AFL-CIO, the Congress of Christian Leaders, the Progressive Democrats of America, and Steve Bannon.

When it comes to AI, we need a key demanding coalition to keep humanity at the center of the technology. We’ve been on parallel tracks with others pushing common-sense guardrails to protect students, families & communities. If the govt won’t act, the people have to. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Lawmakers and Universities Push Back on Loan Caps Politicians from both sides of the aisle sharply criticized the Education Department’s narrow interpretation of the legislation, which limits the number of students with access to large federal loans.

By deprofessionalizing degrees & career paths, the Trump administration is making it harder for students to become nurses, therapists, and workers who serve communities in the future. We need to invest in affordable education. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

What to Know About the U.S.-Israel Attacks on Iran What do we know about the U.S. and Israel’s attacks on Iran? Explore key facts, regional tensions, and what the strikes could mean moving forward.

Students are hearing about the attacks on Iran and have questions. Educators need trusted, fact-based resources to help them understand what’s happening and why it matters. @sharemylesson.bsky.social connects current events to those resources. sharemylesson.com/todays-news-...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is right. We don’t swear an oath to a king or political party. We swear an oath to the Constitution - and Article 1 of the Constitution makes it clear that Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war. bsky.app/profile/aft....

Americans don't want new wars. They result in the loss of American lives & cost taxpayers potentially billions. putting our service members at risk are constitutionally made with Congress - not held exclusively by the President. @kaine.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov bsky.app/profile/schu...

This local Philadelphia campaign being tied into our national day of action is exactly what we love to see. Communities know what they need–and we should have educators and families working together to do what’s best for students. bsky.app/profile/pft....

Senate voting on reining in Trump's war powers amid Iran campaign The measure, which would block President Trump from further military force against Iran, appears poised to fall short of the simple majority needed to advance in the Senate.

Voters have been clear: Congress must focus on lowering prices & addressing affordability, not on dangerous, costly military actions with no end in sight. We urge lawmakers to vote YES to require congressional authority before using military force against Iran. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

Now let’s change the nation, starting with Texas to prioritize the people.. who every day are striving and struggling to attain the American Dream

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Context:

Evidently there is a ballot board that will make the decisions about whether the votes after 7 pm count. The source: Dallas county Republican Party nixed county voting places, as opposed to precinct voting. People didnt know where to vote, as precincts where not updated after the maps were changed.

Thank God you did.
