Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

Woke up this morning. Looked at the beautiful blue Sydney sky. What did I see? Holy smoke! In Sydney?

@march4teachers I am so very sorry Maggie. Will be keeping you in my thoughts.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

I have never voted for a candidate in my life.

But I will be voting for Bernie Sanders in the democratic primary and the general election. If I’m doing that, there are probably tens of millions in that same position.
Let me explain why I’m doing this now:

Once again, 4 those who missed it: 42% of US #PISA2018 score explained by poverty. Reduce child poverty from current 21% to 10% or less (like most of the industrialized world) & US move 2top of rankings. @MornaMcDermott #PISA2018 @CNN @MSNBC @nytimes #edchat #PISA #suptchat

Hey @BetsyDeVosED, why did you attempt to delay the implementation of the 2016 borrower defense rule? #Questions4Betsy

[Rebecca Ritchie @BeccaRitchie5]

Why did @BetsyDeVosED ignore the ruling of a federal judge and continue to collect on the student debt of #4profit students at Corinthian Colleges? #Questions4Betsy

[Rebecca Ritchie @BeccaRitchie5]

.@BetsyDeVosED, why did you overturn the guidance of @usedgov to fully cancel the loans of students at #4profits and offer only a fraction of that forgiveness? #Questions4Betsy

[Rebecca Ritchie @BeccaRitchie5]

Today, @BetsyDeVosED is testifying before Congress. I hope they ask her why she’s refusing to fully forgive loans for students defrauded by #4profits. #Questions4Betsy

@NEAToday Experience matters, ask any high quality, certified teacher who has had the unfortunate circumstance to be assigned the room next to a @TeachForAmerica corps member or @TNTP fellow! You end up teaching 2 classrooms while providing "support" & Kleenex to an adult! @BadassTeachersA

And we don't think Capital Hill Fellows should be hired for education policy advice. @Ocasio2018

[Lily Eskelsen García @LilytheTeacher]

We cannot be silent about this attack on fragile children and vulnerable families. We must speak. We must act. Immigration issues are complicated, but some things are simple. Do not punish children for decisions they didn’t make.
Do not separate families. Respect human rights!
