Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers:
“Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.”

No, we are not letting him run for a 3rd term. Period. End of story. Every single journalist & news reporter better not entertain this in the slightest. They’re dangling this to groom people into eventually not even seeing it as crazy & wrong. Also, the 22nd Amendment. Ok, glad we had this chat!
No one should hold public office without passing a basic civics test. Period.
I’m just a girl staring at my screens waiting for the media to focus on the CURRENT president’s cognitive decline (as well as his DAILY corruption) instead of focusing on the FORMER president’s health.
I started my mini unit on Reconstruction today & started the lesson with this image. This was the first time in U.S. history where the Confederate flag entered the Capitol building in an act of insurrection. 1/
Elon Musk & his team of hackers have hijacked your personal information. Musk - who no one elected - is going to decide what he thinks should be cut from the U.S. government. We are all being held hostage by a rogue government who couldn’t care less about anyone but their own billionaire interests.
Two reminders:
1) Trump initiated this ban on August 7, 2020 with an Executive Order
2) Our leaders can’t get anything done to actually protect us, but they were able to ban TikTok
Abrego Garcia wasn’t deported. He was kidnapped. He’s not in a prison. He’s in a 💀 camp. He was denied his right to due process and everyone in the U.S., including those without legal status, have constitutional rights to due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. 1/
Senator Booker broke Senator Thurmond’s record for the longest speech on the Senate floor. Thurmond used his time to stand in the way of progress. Booker is using his to stand for it. This is powerful. This is the America we’re fighting for. This is our moral moment & we must all answer the call.
It’s especially difficult to be a U.S. History teacher in America right now. We might be close to watching the architects of Project 2025 via Trump dismantle the American republic as we know it. Meanwhile we are teaching how American democracy developed. For a long time it was the story of 1/
Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.
And now…again.
Dear Everyone, Now is the time to use your platform and your voice. Use your influence. Even if you impact one person, it can make a difference. We have power in numbers and we need to amplify each other and fight together to save our country. Now is not the time to tune it out.
Do not obey in advance.
This is an interesting development in the Linda McMahon situation. As you all know, Trump wants her to be the Secretary of Education. She has VERY limited experience in education and this lawsuit is extremely alarming. Now, conveniently, the lawsuit has been paused 1/

🚨 Today: Mass firings just hit the CFPB. This is because Trump and Musk are trying to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the agency that protects regular people like you & me from being scammed by banks, credit card companies, and shady online platforms. 1/
Grocery prices aren’t going down. But no one really voted for that. They voted for the white supremacy. They voted to push back against the hard won progress we’ve made to get closer to a multiracial democracy. I know this because the Trump supporters are emboldened now. 1/
We keep saying they want 1930s Germany, but a reminder about the USA in the 1920s:
-Tulsa Massacre as well as Rosewood
-Resurgence of the KKK
-Immigration Act of 1924
-Resurgence of Lynching
-Continued strict enforcement of Jim Crow Laws
- The Scopes Trial where teaching science was put on trial
Y'all Senator Cory Booker is going to beat Senator Strom Thurmond's record tonight. Thurmond stood in the way of progress. Booker is standing for progress. This is powerful.
This is the America that will win in the end. The revolution will be televised. Stay tuned, MAGA.
Dear CEOs,
Is now a good time to talk about the gun violence in America & leverage your power & billions to lobby lawmakers to pass gun violence prevention laws?

Bernie Sanders at Coachella. I really hope we can keep this momentum going and that it’s enough to vote out the MAGA evil that has taken over.
I’m never going to get over the fact that this gigantic loser has been able to take over America and drive it off a cliff.
They are going after teachers and professors. THEY ARE GOING AFTER TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS. You all see what's happening right?
