I have no words to describe what it is like to be a teacher right now.

Happy Pride Month.

Stonewall was started because of police brutality.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Authoritarians polarize citizens into patriots v enemies. Discredit oversight institutions like inspectors general & the media. Target courts to bolster bad behavior.

Final act? Dissolve the bonds of democracy, militarize police and crush the vote.

Trump is near his end game.

[Jerrica @jerricasays_]

They arrested thousands of people to avoid arresting four.

Let that sink in.

Happy Pride, y'all. This year I'm thinking of my queer Black siblings, who must constantly navigate the intersection of 2+ marginalized identities that are often the target of police violence. (Never forget the first Pride was a riot.) Support queer Black voices: buy these books!

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Everybody who didn't know is seeing America as it truly is right now. Can't provide resources for the pandemic but has all the resources at the ready to murder civilians in the street and teargas anyone who objects.

[Miss Abboud @msabboud]

It is impossible for an educator to be neutral... if you are not actively dismantling systems of oppression in the classroom then you are upholding them! #BLM #antiracism #SocialJusticeEducation

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

I really, really don’t care what you think. I went to a PWI. I watched white students at the University of Maryland set fire and go on a rampage every time they beat Duke in BASKETBALL. No pain. No anger. And they were NEVER called thugs. EVER.

Never forget that when the NYPD went on strike, crime went down.
