If you know a teacher, love a teacher, respect a teacher, or can thank a teacher for where you are today. Show your support & wear RED every Wednesday. It's not just an education movement. It's becoming a cultural and labor movement. Make it a NATIONWIDE movement. #RedForEd

Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!! Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

LOCAL ANGLE Ryan Girdusky is founder of the 1776 Project PAC that has spent $210,000 to elect right-wing school board members in 6 Phoenix area districts: Scottsdale, Peoria, Deer Valley, Paradise Valley, Gilbert & Higley, per Maricopa County campaign finance reports.

Thankfully, CNN removed Ryan Girdusky from the panel. "First, I want to apologize to Mehdi Hasan for what was said at this table. It was completely unacceptable. When we get this discussion started, you'll see that Ryan is not at the table. There is a line that was crossed."



✊Glad to hear and see all the #UNION wins happening around the nation! Let’s repeal those right-to-work laws next. #UnionPower

Companies across the country are offering Labor Day Sales. But it turns out a whole lot of them mistreat workers, union-bust, and really have no business celebrating Labor Day. So we decided to keep track. Thread!🧵

Some of the same elected Republicans who voted to overturn my student loan relief plan benefitted from thousands in pandemic relief loans to keep their own businesses open. Those loans were forgiven. Now, they refuse to extend the same relief to borrowers with student debt.

Why should all Arizonans pay for the wealthy to attend private school? "You and I, the taxpayers, are currently paying  $301,950,000 to help rich kids attend high dollar schools their families could already afford." azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

Arizona's universal voucher program is now on track to cost the state $900 MILLION per year. We need to repeal this totally unaccountable and out-of-control program before it completely bankrupts our state.

Universal school vouchers are expected to cost almost $1 billion next year. We need common sense accountability to protect our state's financial future so we can continue to invest in public safety, affordable housing, and water.

The Arizona Department of Education projects that universal empowerment scholarships will cost Arizona taxpayers $900 million in 2024. MORE ⬇️ abc15.com/esa-program-to…

Nope…there are not two sides of bringing an assault weapon to an elementary school bus stop..:

Tonight on @wbaltv11: A man with an AR-15 has been showing up for weeks to a school bus drop off for local elementary school students. Parents say their kids are afraid, the man says he’s protesting @GovWesMoore’s new gun control law. You’ll hear from both sides at 5+6pm.

Gutting education is the last thing this country needs. But MAGA House Republicans voted on a bill that could cut up to 60,000 teaching jobs – affecting more than 25 million kids.

What do you feel is the core issue driving the evil acts of violence we are seeing in our country?

🧵- FYI, here's a list of millionaires, billionaires, and foundations investing heavily in dismantling and defunding education. If your non-profit happens to be funded by one or more of these groups, you might not be doing the “ good work” you think you are. 1

Let’s give public school teachers a raise.

With me on the 9th floor, Arizona’s LGBTQ+ youth will always be supported. I was proud to meet with such an amazing group of kids and their parents to hear their stories and let them know I have their backs.

Today's JLBC report shows the state's revenue surplus has disappeared. $2 billion in tax cuts for the rich and using tax dollars to subsidize private school education will do that.

The CDC just released official data showing 48,830 people were killed by guns in 2021. That's an 8% increase from an already historic high in 2020. Our country's gun violence epidemic is growing. And we need to stop it.
