The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal.

The brave woman who cared for and hid my 6 year-old aunt in an attic in Budapest was a criminal. She broke the law by sheltering Juden.

Legality is not a guide for morality.

BREAKING: CWA-represented workers at @ATT will receive a $1k bonus as a result of CWA's letter asking employers for a $4k raise upon passage of the corporate tax cut bill. We will keep pressing AT&T & other employers for the full raise & good jobs. #1u https://t.co/dxKeEhH5Oh

[CNBC Now @CNBCnow]

JUST IN: AT&T announces it will "pay a special $1,000 bonus to more than 200,000 AT&T U.S. employees" due to tax reform passage and will also increase US capital spending by $1 billion. https://t.co/jn8limUSe7

Tax bill: One big giveaway to the best off. The rest get spending cuts on Medicare, Medicaid and other needed programs.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

No, I haven’t had time to read the 500-page #GOPTaxScam bill that we’re voting on tonight. I couldn’t read it if I tried – and I did.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Well there you have it: The @SenateGOP won’t even give Democrats the weekend to read all the lobbyist giveaways they’ve added in chicken scratch to the #GOPTaxScam they're jamming through tonight.

@SenJohnMcCain Do not vote today. Let us see the fully amended tax bill, have time for analyzing, and let US make an intelligent decision. @SenJohnMcCain

A litmus test around equity shared by @KathleenBudge “What are we doing around the following: grading, homework, and classroom assessment.” How are supporting or thwarting equitable practices? Food for thought! #azk12leads #azedchat #EquityInEd
