Every bit of this. There is NO state where students do better with vouchers than their public school peers. Vouchers are about subsidizing tuition for those who never went to public schools.
If Issue 1 passes, Ohio will become the only state in the entire country requiring signatures from every single county.
That would mean 1 single county could prevent Ohio’s other 87 from bringing an issue to a vote.
Issue 1 is undemocratic, unjust, and unfair #VoteNoOnIssue1
JUST IN: Justin Jones has been voted BACK to the Tennessee State House by the Metro Nashville Council!
The Council was responsible for choosing who would fill the seat until the special election, and they voted to select Jones.
Right after the vote, Jones embraced the council members.
Congratulations Rep. Justin Jones! 💙
Elie Mystal: "Tennessee has now given the entire country an object lesson in critical race theory better than any AP history course ever could have. Everybody sees it now. Everybody knows it now. Everybody gets exactly what is going on." https://t.co/RdYLvfum24
A current Republican State Representative was arrested for fraud, theft and bribery, and the House took no action.
Three Democrats raised their voices on the floor about gun violence, and they are being expelled.
Bone chilling. https://t.co/ikDABrh3BV
Today, my speech on the hatefulness of Kentucky SB150- the most harsh anti trans healthcare bill passing in the country. People were being arrested in the House gallery who were protesting the veto overturn.
last month i called 911 on myself for feeling suicidal and the bill with insurance is over $2,000. the 15 min "psych evaluation" alone was $400. oh, and they still sent me home that night. it cost me $2k to not take my life. america's healthcare system is so fucked lol
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed a new bill into law to ensure all students have access to free and healthy school meals. The bill provides free breakfast and lunch in every New Mexico school, with fresh ingredients from local farmers and growers.
We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:
▪️ No drop in revenue
▪️ 65% fewer sick days
▪️ 71% less burnout
▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial
The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.
When we say "crime is a social construct", what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jail for littering, but a corporation can poison the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jail.
This is not something that should make you hopeful. Young people having to protest to not be shot is a warning sign of how bad things have gotten not a sign of hope.
Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work.

Fuck your thoughts and prayers.
