They tried to erase us then. They’re trying again now. But our history, our truth, our legacy? #CantBeErased. I'm honored to have my piece in @theGrio, inspired by my fearless great-grandmother, activist Ida Smith Grayson.

🚨THE HOUSE HAS PASSED a bill to avert a midnight shutdown.

THE BILL passed 366-34-1

170 Republicans voted yes, 196 Democrats voted yes. 34 Republicans voted no. A total of

ZERO Democrats voted no. Dems saved Republicans here.

NO DEBT CEILING -- House Republicans weren't at ALL moved by Trump's demands to lift the borrowing cap. Trump effectively asked for one thing. he didnt get it.

ONTO THE SENATE.....

A huge victory for dyslexia support in Michigan today! After 6+ years of advocacy, the legislature passed the #ReadingForAll Package, creating a system for identifying and supporting students with dyslexia. Kudos to our @EdTrustMidwest team who helped make this happen 👏

As we celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth, @edtrust @Letishawrites explains why Afro-Latino representation in children's books matters: "Latinos deserve relatable stories. Non-Latinos should learn about rich, diverse cultures." ✨ #EdEquity https://t.co/ZcT4fGvuH3

(THREAD) A new report from @USGAO pushes back on the harmful narrative that Black girls are disciplined more because they misbehave. It’s simply not true. EdTrust supports @RepPressley’s Ending #PushOutAct to support Black girls in school. https://t.co/4hKY8z4gXf
