Mom/Advocate-is there any difference? I believe a radical reimagining of public education is possible & necessary.

🧵1/12 Those who oppose #policefreeschools seek to move @MontgomeryCoMD backward w/out @MCPS, @mocoboe ever (1) ending all the ways students are policed & (2) investing instead in the kinds of supports students, educators/staff, caregivers deserve. @justschools @DignityinSchool

@astoundconnects Internet keeps going in and out here in Takoma Park, MD. Is there an issue you are aware of and timimg by which service will be consistently back?

[Twin Cities Innovation Alliance @TCIAMN]

NOTICE & 40+ orgs sent a letter to the DOE to ban fed funds for school surveillance systems relying on AI-enabled tech for predictive policing. We look forward to working with the Dept. on the Coalition's recommendations @ACLUMN @adv_project @DignityinSchool @EdLibMN1 @EJA_NC @CJSF @usedgov

This horrible seething vitriole was unleashed on protestors here in @MontgomeryCoMD. We must not look away. This is why we all must take action to demand #CeasefireNOW

[Raef @RaefMusic]

Welcome to Montgomery County, Maryland...My hometown. A group of us gathered to call for an end to the carnage happening in Gaza, an end to the killing of babies...and were met with these counter-protesters #CeasefireNOW

@hilljax @mcpnews @MCPS @SilverCoalition @ypforprogress @adv_project @blairprincipal Because the chief of police is using this to case build for increased funding for policing AND changes to criminal statutes impacting children

@Dreamdefenders and other organizations put so much care into planning for the #CantBanUs action and a big part of prep was necessarily planning for and training us all on keeping ourselves and each other safe from assaults like this.

[Dream Defenders @Dreamdefenders]

Keep in mind that @GovRonDeSantis and his staff and police had a few other doors to enter the office at this point. This was an explicit choice and act of aggression.

[Jaime Koppel @jaimekoppel]

Appreciate you @AshAshman_SDT and @TPMSPrin_Martin
Who would you tag for #MothersWhoTeach

@TheWomanofGods1 @stevebousquet 💯 and DeSantis wants to make sure it is not an outlier.

[Jaime Koppel @jaimekoppel]

I was there and @stevebousquet is spot on. What appeared to be 100s of police from across law enforcement - including state patrol & 🐠 & wildlife - amassed across the day as we protested peacefully. They didn't show up at the time of arrest. They prepared all day for the moment.

[Dream Defenders @Dreamdefenders]

"This was a gross overreaction by law enforcement to an animated group of young people with healthy lungs who sang civil rights songs and voiced frustration over the frightening direction this state is taking."
