You know who’s helping us during COVID-19? Medical workers, delivery drivers, grocery store works, and sanitation workers.
You know who ain’t doing shit?
The police.
In June, ICE deported a Detroit-based man named Jimmy Aldaoud to Iraq, a country he had never been to and a place where he did not speak the language.
Two months later Jimmy died.
Pardon the language here, but it's worth sharing. The way a presidential candidate (or anyone) talks to children/students/youth says a lot about them. We can disagree without being dismissive. Or at least we should be able to.
Perhaps the mayor should have met with the educators she’s insulted with these remarks. They are the ones who went on an 11-day strike to address mental health and trauma in their students. For months, she either a) did nothing, or b) stood in the way.
Sooo when us teachers go on strike because of this we’re evil and greedy, but when you take @CTULocal1’s talking points you’re an amazing progressive mayor on the path to saving CPS?
This is beyond insulting.
The official report to the UN Human Rights Council said that Uighur Muslims were "cut open while still alive for their kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, cornea and skin to be removed and turned into commodities for sale.”
That is why.
Study shows the importance of parent engagement in a child's education. Congrats to the @CTULocal1 members who provided the education and supports for the students for whom english is a second language.

Here's a great list of women historian allies - some of the best that I've found (thread)
To borrow Monica's words: Looking for allies, support? please introduce yourself whether to raise a concern, share your perspective, or simply to be heard.
These Latinx students couldn’t see themselves in the collections and the exhibitions at the Chicago History Museum and they did something about it!!! Their bold actions inspire me! #PublicHistoryMatters#LatinxHistoryMatters https://t.co/lKD8KzyhHf
“If you, as a White person, would like to be treated the way Black people are in this society, stand."
Watch who stands in response to Jane Elliott’s invitation.
