More support for our kids

Teachers know what kids need – more time, more support, and more resources. Add your voice and tell government it’s time to deliver on better classroom conditions.

During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism.

Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article) A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Wow! Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, had an opportunity & she took it.

Speaking directly to Trump/Vance, she advocates for the LGBT community & immigrants.

“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They are good neighbours.”

The look on JD Vance’s face…

I usually do a "would you survive the great Depression" activity white they have to come up with a weekly food/supplies plan (without resulting in scurvy) for a famaily of 4. I have the worksheets and price lists if anyone wants.
