I have faith in the safety & security of our elections. I want every voter to have that same rightly placed faith in our elections.
Yet we are clear-eyed & prepared for the challenges we will face in the months ahead. I talked about that preparation & more with @srl & @guardian.
Whether at the local, state or national level, elected leaders must listen to the voices of educators *before* making education policy decisions. #MichEd#EdChat#Michigan#vote

So let me get this straight. A state has the right to restrict abortions, but doesn’t have the right to restrict firearms? Is that what we have now in these “United” States?
Gov. Whitmer instructing all state government departments not to cooperate with authorities from other states who want to prosecute women seeking legal abortion care.
She’s also instructing those departments to increase protections for reproductive healthcare.
It’s staggering how the Court can celebrate giving political majorities in the states control over women’s bodies the very day after the same Trump-Packed majority took from those political majorities the ability to protect lives from gunfire delivered by people concealing guns.
First guns, now abortion. The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade and made clear that it does not care whether people live or die.
In 24 hours, SCOTUS has become illegitimate in the eyes of young people—nothing more than a deadly, undemocratic political animal.
We ache with the weight of these rulings and as a community of faith we hold each other in our grief. As we pray and as we’re moved, we also maintain our commitment to helping people access safe reproductive healthcare, including safe abortions. #AbortionRights
comfort to every human being who feels afraid right now. i feel afraid too. it is okay to feel afraid and tender now. soon, the anger returns and we fight like bloody hell. first the pain, then the mother fucking rising.
Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.
The impact of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court decisions on our students remains to be written, but we have no doubt she will look out for all Americans, not just the rich and powerful.
