Being in Hungary and hearing firsthand about the fight for a stronger, and better democracy has been inspiring. We have work to do in the US, but I know we can do it, too. ✊

House Republicans tried to sneak another voucher bill into their NDAA. Thankfully it they weren’t able to do it. Let’s be clear: vouchers drain public schools of much needed funds. We will keep fighting for fully funded public schools for all.

As @rweingarten.bsky.social said yesterday in her speech: “Our union stands at the intersection of the ways that regular people gain & exercise power in our democracy—through public education, unions and voting.” And we are not letting misinformation or desperate ploys distract us. @aft.org

Don’t forget:❗HANDS OFF TPS - Boston Protest❗ ⏰ Sun, Jun 28, 2PM We cannot sit still while the Supreme Court allows the one of the largest de-documentation efforts in modern history. TPS holders are not temporary in our community, they are valued neighbors, coworkers, friends, community.

“The use of public dollars for private voucher schemes remains anathema. While it’s a good that the political backlash has resulted in some potential uses for public school parents, vouchers are never a substitute for direct, sustained investment in public education.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/u...

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

96 orders. 1 month. 1 state. “That’s what Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz of the US District Court in Minnesota –– a Republican appointee –– placed on the public record: an appendix identifying 96 court orders violated by ICE across 74 cases since January 1” with a warning it’s likely an undercount.
