I’ve been an educator for more than 30 years.
NEA is my union.
Our campaign is honored to have the support of educators and the endorsement of the @NEAToday and @AFTunion, two of the largest unions in the country.
Today and always, I honor educators. Happy Labor Day.
These are two of my labor favorites by Ricardo Levins Morales. On #LaborDay we celebrate and recognize organized labor and workers. Unions keep our communities smart, healthy and safe. I #chooseunion because together, working in union, we make all that happen.
ABC will air “Black Panther” commercial-free tonight as a prime-time tribute to Chadwick Boseman. It will be followed by a special celebrating "Boseman’s storied life, legacy and career."

Trump at the RNC 4 years ago: "I alone can fix it." He's now been in power four years. Judge politicians by their actual deeds, not their lofty promises.
We must address the systemic racism in our country. But the violence, vandalism and looting only detracts from that work and cannot be tolerated. Let's work together to address racial and social justice issues, end the violence, vandalism and looting and heal our country.

The DNC has released a clip previewing tonight’s remarks from @MichelleObama: “I know Joe. He is a profoundly decent man guided by faith. He was a terrific vice president. He knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic and lead our country. And he listens.”
The Republican Minnesota Senate has announced they are removing a Commissioner every 30 days (they don’t believe in the pandemic). Today the fired the Commish in charge of work place safety.
They say they will do this until the Governor ends the state of emergency in MN. 18/
Education Minnesota stands by Commissioner Nancy Leppink. DOLI and she have worked to bring safety standards for working people during a pandemic. This is shocking, actually, to clean house in an agency that looks after workers in time of crisis. #WhoCaresForUs#EdMNvotes
I call for three changes:
-stop making health care based on employment, but make it on existence
-make the system one between patients & medical teams, not between “consumers” & insurers & health care providers
-one by one remove the racism & inequality in health care 16/

"To form a more perfect union. Explicit in those words is the idea that we're imperfect. That what gives each new generation purpose is to take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further than any might have thought possible."
