[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Don't buy this "Trump has adopted a softer tone" nonsense. This convention has been all about demonizing immigrants, denigrating LGBTQ+ people, and declaring political opponents to be enemies of the state. There is nothing "moderate" about any of it.

"Congenital anomalies lead the cause of death among infants. Deaths spiked nearly 23% in Tx btw 2021 & 2022 compared to decrease of 3.1% in rest of the US. Tx abortion law holds no exception for fatal fetal anomaly...perpetuating forced births no matter the outcome of that birth"

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” #D250Countdown

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

Texas politicians want to ban trans and nonbinary people from working as teachers.

This is pure discrimination — and blatantly unconstitutional.

At the end of June, Dr. Kevin Kruger will conclude his tenure as president of @NASPAtweets. In this episode, Kevin discussed lessons learned over his 40 years of service to higher education and what he believes the next era of higher education will entail. You will enjoy the wisdom this titan has to share.

From #AHAPerspectives in 2015: The 1969 Stonewall riots are often considered a turning point for the LGBT movement. Christopher Adam Mitchell described some of the myths and differing narratives generated by Stonewall. #PrideMonth https://t.co/fUB0pZfOQ5

[Cmte for Ed Funding @edfunding]

House Republicans are proposing to cut education funding next year by 14% below current funding - to below even the amount provided for FY 2011, never mind what is needed to keep pace with inflation. Cuts are to teacher programs, student aid, research, and more (1/2)

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Despite courage and sacrifice, thousands of LGBTQI+ service members were forced out of the military because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

I'm using my clemency authority to pardon certain former service members who were convicted simply for being themselves.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

June 26th is the day love won.

On June 26th, 2003, love won in Lawrence v. Texas.
On June 26th, 2013, love won in US v. Windsor.
On June 26th, 2015, love won in Obergefell v. Hodges.

No matter what rights #SCOTUS tries to rip away next, love will always win.

#BrownvBoard ended up costing thousands of Black educators their jobs (when White schools didn't employ them). The consequences have endured: Only 6% of U.S. teachers are Black, our forthcoming report shows. An in-depth story by @NadraKareem @The19thNews: https://t.co/7BNq42ug6l
