Police ask that you continue to please shelter in place. Police are evacuating buildings one at a time. This remains an active investigation. The suspect has been contained.

🤝 Having the support of a #paraprofessional is an amazing resource. But the role should be carried out in a way that no one visiting the room would be able to tell who that adult is officially there to support. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

The House proposal for FY24 education funding would result in draconian cuts that would damage our public education system and have rippling effects for years to come. Join us in making some noise in opposition to education cuts.

This fact sheet provides key info & supporting evidence about racial disparities and inequities for young children with a disability and questions for state and local leaders seeking to advance equity for all children with disabilities and their families. @decsped #wesayequity

The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action will make it more difficult for infants and toddlers to grow up in a fair and equitable country.
#AffirmativeAction #equity

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

When is slavery acceptable? NEVER.

I know you agree @RepSusieLee @senjackyrosen @sencortezmasto. Support the Abolition Amendment, HJR 72/SJR 33, to #EndTheException in the 13th Amendment and abolish slavery, for all.

No slavery. No Exceptions. https://t.co/vIIEsJSIu0

Yesterday, Governor Lombardo vetoed AB224, a bill with bipartisan support that would have been a milestone victory for academic workers. To those who pushed it through the assembly and senate, we say thank you. Yes, we're disappointed, but we're not defeated.

[Turia Penkalski, M.Ed. @TuriaMarie]

I can't wait!

Dear @JosephMLombardo As a graduate student worker, I support bill AB224! Please share or contact the Governor if you agree! ​Call 775-684-5670 or visit https://t.co/JdyHcC2Sfm Thank you!

[Nevada Graduate Student Workers @NVGradWorkers]

✨Exciting news✨ AB224, the collective bargaining bill, which would allow us to unionize, passed the Assembly with a 31-11 bipartisan vote, and the Senate with a 13-8 party-line vote.

What happens next? 🧵
