This dumb Common Core requirement imposed by David Coleman with no research backing helped drive out real literary works from the curriculum as many of us pointed out at the time

[Bruce D. Baker @SchlFinance101]

@Moms4Libros Yes - NAEP scores started declining around 2013 to 2015, at a rate similar to declines during COVID. Several studies point to recessionary (2009-2011) cuts in school funding has having negative effects on measured outcomes in years that followed. https://t.co/3D2zjiqsIb

That “whole books are still at the core of the city’s reading program” is news to the thousands of students slogging through basal readers every day

@NYCMayor Class size matters for all of our students.

If NY truly believe in public service, they'll #FixTier6.

In speeches at our Fix Tier 6 rally, New Rochelle FUSE members Melody Chavarria and Mike McGowan shared experiences as Tiers 5/6 members, highlighting a system where they pay more and work longer for less in retirement.

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf.

Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨

If you are ever turned away at the polls, your LEGAL response must be:

“Please give me a provisional ballot, with a receipt, as required by law.”

Dear @AGPamBondi and @DAGToddBlanche:

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, you can only redact if the person is a “victim.” You redacted this photo, which means diplomat Peter Mandelson is standing next to a victim with his pants down.

Why haven’t you prosecuted him?

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

ICE commits atrocities knowing they’re being filmed. They don’t care. They act with impunity.

This is an agency that’s rotten to the core. Dismantle ICE.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

After the ICE murders, Democrats' major demand isn't ending qualified immunity or shutting down the agency - it's more cameras for ICE to make snuff films https://t.co/sd6REZFJ0d

[J.S. Park 박준 @jsparkblog]

People not in the Epstein files:

- drag queens
- transgender athletes
- librarians
- Black journalists
- “radical leftist scum”
- hungry family needing SNAP benefits
- workers on strike
- the cast of Sesame Street

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The People: Abolish ICE!

The DNC: Best we can do is fascism with a bipartisan seal of approval and a few unenforceable reforms

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

After two weeks of terrorizing Mainers and arresting innocent people, ICE and Kristi Noem got a rousing statement of confidence from Susan Collins.

Senator Collins: how can you sleep at night?

[Ron Chusid @RonChusid]

One problem is that Democrats don't want to change things. They primarily want the benefits of winning but won't support the changes which voters want.

@Haleaziz @GlennThrush I bet those @HouseDemocrats and @SenateDems are going to write a Major strong statement about this!! #AbolishICE

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The Democrats - who just CAVED on continuing to fund TRUMP'S GESTAPO - just sent an email BLAMING YOU if Republicans win in the midterms unless you SEND MORE MONEY NOW. The fucking gall.
