OUSD has failed to come to the table in good faith. Educators will be on the picket line tomorrow, on strike for our students & for Oakland schools. Join us on the picket line. We will continue to negotiate in good faith & hope the district does the same. #Unite4OaklandStudents

@guardian What SVB is to safe banking is what Northeastern University is to a safe campus. They blame the broke on too woke but the broke is actually shady financial descions. #investigatemillscollege
