If you support eliminating the Department of Education, you do not support our students. Period.

@USEDgov provides funding for:
✅Students w/ disabilities
✅Rural students
✅Programs that make college affordable

This would be bad for students, and bad for America.

We both are highly active in community organizing. He flew to Pittsburgh to knock on doors. He is not my oppressor 🤷‍♀️

@BlackKnight10k Same way the North Carolina governor race (and AG and SOS) went Democrat, while Trump won the Presidential election. Same way a Republican governor won in Vermont while the state went for Harris. This happens all the time.

@BasedMikeLee All of the states take this long to count votes. It just isn’t “called” yet because it’s too close.

My two big wishes for the 2024 election:

High turnout

Let’s make them both happen! 🗳️

@joncoopertweets @keyacgomes Okay I get the sentiment, but also it’s the first time I have felt authentically hopeful in weeks, so I shan’t be ignoring it though
