Last year, the rail industry made a record-breaking $20 billion in profits. They can afford to give their workers paid sick leave. The rail industry must put the quality of life of their employees over profits. I stand with rail workers.

I’m for Wisconsin.

Ron Johnson is for whoever the hell donates millions of $$$ to keep him in power.

Ron Johnson needs to be held accountable for doing everything he can to rip reproductive rights away – so we are hitting the road to make it very clear that NONE of us will tolerate this any longer.

The cover story is by @_cierrajade_ who wrote about her own teaching practice and the influence of @cynthiabdillard's new book about Black women teachers (re)membering. Also has editorials about teaching for joy in spite of everything and reproductive justice and our classrooms.

I’m a teacher and union leader from Seattle and I’m running for Congress ✊🏼 This history teacher has raised more money than any other candidate in the history of this race and we just welcomed the support of the National Education Association 🙏🏼 RT to help spread the word! 🙌🏼

Behind every spelling bee champion is a great teacher: Janet Key played a huge role in helping students at Lowell prepare. Key has been an educator w/ MPS for 38 yrs & for her, the spelling bee was more than just a trophy and bragging rights.... https://t.co/R2Svh51mJ5

As part of the so-called “Great Resignation,” many teachers are leaving the field; the impact on public education could be catastrophic.

And free childcare birth to 3 years old (assuming full day 4-year old kindergarten is provided by the public schools.)

[Bob Peterson @BobPMilw]

This makes me MTEA and MPS proud.

[MTEA @MTEAunion]

Shout out to South Division MTEA members Francisca Meraz and Samantha Epstein for listening to and accommodating the needs of their students. You've provided a wonderful example for other schools and educators!
