The FL Legislature is considering a union-busting bill that would make it harder for teachers like me to serve our students. This bill is unconstitutional and unamerican! #VoteNoOnSB1296

MUST WATCH: @CBSMiami investigative report gets to the truth behind SB 1296. This bill is not by or for Floridians, but out of state interests dead set on erasing working families constitutional rights to collectively bargain and speak for themselves! https://t.co/uwrfjg7ryg

I made a comic about why you should be masking in 2026 (spoiler: it’s to protect yourself and your community)

A thread...

[James Brandt @j_e_brandt]

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

It was beautiful to be with the best of Tallahassee today, protesting at the Florida Capitol. The vibes were good, but the anger is fierce.

“Critically discuss Emmanuel Levinas’ philosophy of the face (臉) and the other.”
Not something one might have expected to find in this week’s GSAT national Chinese language public exam in Taiwan (broadly equivalent to SATs and A Levels).

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

[King-Ho Leung @kingholeung]
