Making sure our neighbors have enough food is not just good policy—it’s the right and moral thing to do. Lawmakers must speak up for constituents & tell the Trump administration: Protect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)! https://t.co/3jjqYtUxlR @AFTUnion

Day 3 of the #TrumpHealthcareShutdown and Republicans in Congress are still refusing to act—while workers brace for painful rate hikes that eat into every paycheck. Families can’t afford this crisis, but politicians are making it worse.

Listen to nurses! Because of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, healthcare is in crisis. Every American is going to pay far more because Republicans would rather shut the government down than help people. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

Being president means getting in the room with lawmakers who don’t always agree and figuring out a way to deliver real results–like healthcare–for American families. https://t.co/cXIwnPjAgE

Congratulations to my friend @rweingarten on Why Fascists Fear Teachers. From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy.

Randi's new book is a critical read for this moment. https://t.co/UPlL4KjNLd

[Anthony Nicodemo(he/him/his)🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🏀 @coachNicodemo]

Attended an event tonight for @rweingarten new book “Fascists Fear Teachers”. She read a piece that talks about the Nazis attacking education in Norway and educators fighting back.

Take notice of folks that criticize this book, it’ll speak volumes about their views… @AFTunion

Trump is trying to erase the horrors of slavery from the Smithsonian. It makes me think about how we teach history, when teaching honest history is under assault. Let me tell you about Ryan. He's a social studies teacher in New Hampshire. I write about him in https://t.co/4z6aIvq86S

FOR THOSE IN THE BACK: We EARNED our benefits, and Social Security ought to be there for us when it's time to collect!

This is a big, ugly, obscene betrayal of American working families that was rammed through the Senate in the dead of night to satisfy a president determined to hand tax cuts to his billionaire friends. https://t.co/rtpPrvRLVh

This is the question! (Unless I guess you are representing multi millionaires… )

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

MAGA is trying to deny that THIS happened yesterday — well here’s some receipts fuckheads!

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

Education is an opportunity agent, and federal support should not be used as a piggy bank to defund our already underfunded public schools and give billionaires another tax cut. #HandsOffPublicSchools

[John Kuryla @NSEAUnion]

RT @SEIU: Repost this so every taxpayer sees it!

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Educators have ZERO control over any of these. 🤔👇

Stop placing ALL the blame on teachers and schools.

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

Horrible news out of Dallas. Schools should be spaces where students feel safe and welcome, so they can focus on learning. We must do more to #EndGunViolence and protect our kids. https://t.co/dJdO22RqJV

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Hands off our education.
Hands off our teachers.
Hands off our students.
Hands off our schools.
Hands off!

[UUP @uupinfo]

UUP Albany members were joined by students, labor leaders and other supporters today as they rallied to #KillTheCuts and stand up for life-saving research, medical care, and education!

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

We must reclaim the biblical & moral language that the ancient prophets used to challenge the abuse of political power.

Silence is not an option.

TWEEPS: If your vote didn't matter, Republicans wouldn't be fighting so hard to stop you from voting.

The Save Act will create hurdles for women, military voters, elderly, and millions more who took their husband's name in marriage.

Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #HandsOffHerVote to make it trend?

Please and thank you! 🙏💪
