The National Education Association Representative Assembly votes to cut ties with the ADL Over 6000 public school teachers attend the NEA annual Representative Assembly - this year, they voted to cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League

Will the @neatoday.bsky.social exec board finally vote to admit that the entire 3-million member teachers union officially embraces Jew-hate as union policy?

We Jewish NEA members are terrified by news of the Jew-hate that's taken over the floor and leaked out to the public. Shame on leadership for allowing this.

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.

Now you can read the Signal group chat texts and decide for yourself whether this is information that should have been classified

The most disturbing thing to me about the national security group chat was that Tulsi Gabbard responded to Hegseth's war plans with "lol lmao."

DNI Gabbard testified she maintains her "First Amendment rights" to post comments through personal accounts regarding views that might be different from her official work positions.

Yet law firms & lawyers (incl me) are being targeted by Administration for excercising their 1st Amendment rights. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

David: Are you concerned about retaliation from the Trump administration because of this story?

Jeffrey: It’s not my role to care about the possibility of threats or retaliation. We just have to come to work and do our jobs to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, in our society todayβ€”we see this across corporate journalism and law firms and other industriesβ€”there’s too much preemptive obeying for my taste. All we can do is just go do our jobs.

To the folks curious about their vaccination status:

πŸ’‰If you're born before 1957, and you're not sure if you had measles: Get a booster or ask your doctor to screen you with bloodwork.
πŸ’‰If you're born between 1957 & 1989, and you don't have documentation of 2 shots: Get a booster.

There’s always that one person in the group chat who communicates 50% in emoji. We made that person the National Security Adviser.

Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud Elon Musk says Social Security and other federal benefit programs will be targeted in his hunt for fraudulent spending.

After a lifetime of work, employees, deserve to retire w/ dignity. Social Security is a bedrock foundation for working people's retirement security, but Musk is spreading blatant lies about waste & fraud to give tax breaks to billionaires.

It’s an illegal attack on millions of dedicated public service workers who placed their faith in PSLF’s bipartisan promise, only to see it ripped away. AFT won’t stop fighting, in court and in Congress, until every single public service worker gets the help the law affords them.
