YouTube video by CNN Speaker Johnson sued over refusal to swear in democrat needed for Epstein vote

It's no longer about politics and Democrats vs Republicans. It's about right and wrong. It's about decency, morality and integrity and the MAGA Republicans have shown they have none of those qualities.

Swear in Adelita Grijalva and Release the Epstein Files.

What we saw this weekend is that people showed up. Trump and Johnson tried to scare people, but 7million people showed up. 7 of 9 universities said no to his loyalty pledge. Disney was concerned about fallout from Kimmel. People are saying no.

We have a values to action agenda. We start with our values and act. Who are you if you walk away from freedom and justice?

Thank you Kimberlee Crenshaw and the African American Policy Forum for hosting an incredible conversation with me and Jason Stanley about why authoritarians fear educators. We both describe fascistic behavior in our books. We want people to be able to identify it.

Americans have lived through the first 9 months of the Trump presidency and they think he’s failed. Only 37% approve of his presidency; 60% disapprove.

On his handling of the economy, only 34% approve; 63% disapprove.

The American people deserve better. americanresearchgroup.com/economy/

Good for Senator Hashmi calling out school voucher schemes in the VA Lt Gov race ✊

I’m glad that Leader Jeffries is safe and continuing his longstanding work in service of the American people.

It’s Never Just a Joke -Racism and Antisemitism or any of this kind of hate is NEVER just a Joke….and leaders should not dismiss it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/o...

Thank you America .

As predicted.

A beautiful sunrise flying into DC… Maybe it’s a good omen

Kamala Harris warned us all about Donald Trump deploying National Guard troops. 👇 All folks had to do was vote for this amazing woman.

We are not going to cower. We are going to stand together and fight for our rights. We will fight so everyone who has felt angry and left behind sees a future. So that everyone has a voice, even people with whom we disagree. bsky.app/profile/aft....

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Our members here in Ohio have been fighting hard for safe staffing levels through @aft.org’s Code Red campaign and to secure a better way of life for healthcare professionals in the state.

Congratulations to the remarkable Ohio Nurses Association members being honored at tonight’s awards dinner! I’m proud of ONA’s organizing work across the state and their members’ passion for providing the best care possible for their patients.

Bonkers… and dangerous

Americans are more worried about their chances on the job market under Trump, AP-NORC poll finds Some 47% of U.S. adults are “not very" or “not at all confident” they could find a good job if they wanted to, an increase from 37% when the question was last asked in October 2023.

Wishing AFT members, your families, and your communities a very happy Diwali!

AFT stood up to the Trump administration when it refused to follow the law & denied borrowers the relief they were owed - and we won. We won’t stop fighting until college is affordable & taking out a student loan doesn’t trap borrowers in a cycle of debt. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Educators & school support professionals create safe, welcoming environments for every student to thrive - including on our school buses. This National School Bus Safety Week, we thank the dedicated school bus drivers who get kids to and from class safely! @psrp-aft.bsky.social

“Frivolity and absurdity are kryptonite to authoritarians who project the stern-father archetype to their followers.” This is a great read. No Kings was a day of creativity and joy as well as a serious protest against the attacks on Americans' freedoms. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

The direct connection between a teacher and their kids must never be replaced by new technologies, but if we learn how to harness it, set commonsense guardrails and put teachers in the driver’s seat, teaching and learning can be enhanced. abcnews.go.com/Technology/w...
