The solidarity today was powerful. What our members are asking for is righteous, it’s what our children and educators need. This fight is about fully staffed, stable schools, sustainable working conditions, strong special education services, and real protections for immigrant and unhoused students.

Today I was in San Francisco to be with our members as they go on strike for the schools students deserve. From walking the picket line at James Lick Middle School, to meeting with the bargaining team, to joining educators, families, and community members at the rally, we showed the strength of SF.

The @demsocialists.bsky.social conference happening at the same time as @netrootsnation.bsky.social is emblematic of why the left can't win. We can't even organize our own base in the same space for the conversations that need to be happening in order to win.

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital federal education programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities.

As we argued to investors about our members' pension funds, Elon Musk is acting like an angry toddler on the internet instead of protecting Tesla shareholders. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms, so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government.

As children's book bans soar, sales are down and librarians are afraid. Even in California
Book bans are tanking sales of children’s books. Schools and libraries aren’t buying books about LGBTQ+ issues and race as they brace for culture war pushback.
