Theoretically, we are moving to a skills-based economy, which is critical for all of us, including our veterans, and ensuring they can live lives of choice after their service. @amyloyd.bsky.social

Our nation’s greatness starts in our schools, the very foundation of our democracy. My heart is heavy from the senseless and tragic gun violence, suicide, and murder that took place in our spaces for learning this week. Let’s do better, together, across our differences, for our young people.

Today’s reminder: #Diversity, #equity, & #inclusion are NOT illegal; they make education stronger & better for ALL our kids. Last month, a federal judge determined that the Trump administration can’t withhold funds & require attestations regarding “illegal DEI.” We at @all4ed.org applaud this!

I spent 10 days with a bunch of teens on a river with no internet, and I also just dropped off my one and only kid at college. I’m having a lot of big feels. My headline? The kids are alright. They’re more than that - they’re awesome, and they give me so much heart and hope. #onwardandupward

The Trump administration is further dismantling the U.S. Dpt of Ed by sending the funding and activities of the office I formerly led, OCTAE, over to the Dpt Of Labor. This will increase bureaucratic burden, confusion, and cost for our nation, harming CTE and adult ed systems & learners. @all4ed.org

Today, Senate Republicans passed the one big, devastatingly ugly tax & spending bill: ⬆️ hunger ⬆️ health challenges ⬆️ poverty ⬆️ debt The Trump Administration is also *illegally* withholding $6.8 billion in education funding from our states, our schools, our kids that should have gone out today. 😡

Yesterday I attended a rally in support of our trans kids and community - Sec McMahon was at what was supposed to be a Title IX event (yay Title IX!), but it was really an anti-trans event, kicking off an anti-trans bus ride across NM (during Pride Month). We stand with ALL our kids in our schools!

When our schools - and our graduation ceremonies - become places of fear, we’ve crossed a line. We need to protect, support, and celebrate all of our students, and we at @all4ed.org stand with LAUSD in calling for a safe space for graduation, free of immigration raids and threats.

The #onebiguglybill is now in the Senate’s hands. It will harm MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, including our kids and students of all ages, to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. See my @all4ed.org letter to Senate leadership opposing this #reconciliation package: all4ed.org/press_releas...

The U.S. Dpt of Ed sent a letter to chief state school officers, encouraging states to maximize flexibilities in Title I to expand choice. @all4ed.bsky.social is relieved that it’s not outrageous, it’s not even new. We’d encourage the same things, & states *ALREADY* have these flexibilites! #edusky
