"It's important for teachers to have that voice. We need to let people know what is happening on the ground."
Watch & share: As part of #TEACH23, AFT members went to Capitol Hill to talk to lawmakers about #WhatKidsNeed.
Any justification of slavery is noxious & wrong, and shouldn't be taught. And that's before you consider how factually wrong Gov. DeSantis's new standards for teaching Black history are. Thank you @TheRevAl for having me on yesterday to talk this
This year more teachers will likely leave teaching than ever before, and not because they no longer care about their students or don’t love teaching, but because society doesn’t value, pay, resource or care about them.
Morgan Stanley is crediting President Biden's economic policies with driving an unexpected surge in the U.S. economy that's so significant that the bank was forced to make a "sizable upward revision" to its estimates for U.S. gross domestic product. https://t.co/egfd4KMpl9
🚨 BREAKING In yet another example of how #Bidenomics is working, today the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 183 pts, notching its longest winning streak since February 2017!
This is only the sixth time since 1945 that the stock market has risen for 11 or more consecutive days.
Thanks, @POTUS@JoeBiden! 👏
In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.
They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.
BREAKING: A group of military spouses hand-deliver a petition to Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville signed by 500 fellow military spouses accusing him of being “unpatriotic” and of using military members as “pawns” to “wage a political battle.”
But it gets WORSE for Tuberville…
Furious over Tuberville holding up the nominations of hundreds of military leaders, the spouses didn’t hold back in their blistering petition, which reads:
“Let us be clear: Senator Tuberville is playing politics with our military. Senator Tuberville disagrees with the Department of Defense’s benefits package for active duty servicemembers and their families. As military families know all too well, service members and dependents do not choose where they live.
This is why the Department of Defense guarantees a health care package that provides paid time off and reimburses travel costs for comprehensive health services that a servicemember or dependent cannot access at certain duty stations. If a Senator disagrees with DoD health care policy, they should settle it through normal legislative or administrative channels. It is highly inappropriate and unpatriotic to wage a political battle by using military service members as pawns.”
Very well said. You know that you have screwed up royally when so many military spouses are calling you out by name — and even took the time to hand-deliver their petition to you.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank the military spouses for setting Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville straight — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
Been saying that I’m not worried that polls are not yet showing that people have good feelings about the economy. Just like Morgan Stanley - they will. Facts are facts folks and Bidenomics is working.

I for one am getting very tired of you accusing all schools for pushing any agenda. Our students say the pledge, our teachers teach the TEKS, we celebrate succeed and deal with hardship. How about you respecting us enough to take care of our employees and students! @GregAbbott_TX
It’s unnecessary to debate whether enslaved people benefitted from slavery.
Let us not be distracted by what extremists are trying to do, which is to create unnecessary debates to divide our country.
Let us stand together for what we know is right.
Chris Christie on Donald Trump:
"He said that it was ok to suspend the Constitution if you think the election was stolen from you...Anybody, in my opinion, who says that it's okay to suspend the Constitution is disqualified from being President of the United States."
