Today’s executive orders make clear that despite their mantra of local control, the Trump Administration really does want to be in the business of education after all. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I'll beat this drum until my arm falls off: Collaboration can change lives. We can accomplish SO MUCH when we work together. It's one of the reasons we're successful in Rio Rancho! Huge thanks to @rweingarten.bsky.social for coming to Rio Rancho today. We always love seeing you! #CTE #unionstrong

I'm incredibly proud to do union work in a district that works incredibly hard to support educators and kids. I love my local. I love my job as President of my local. And I love being a full time teacher who completely understands the importance of programs like this one. #unionstrong #RioTech #CTE

We are all standing with the federal workers!! Eviscerating collective bargaining is what dictatorships do, not democracies Collective bargaining is how workers have a voice, have some power to raise their wages Donald Trump says he cares about workers, this action tells you he does not.

Trump's plan to close the Dept of Education is illegal. Only Congress can do that. But what's the plan here? Trump knows his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

We must fight back against Trump's illegal efforts to close the Department of Education. Education provides a foundation for critical thinking - something we need in the US! Lawsuits coming, but we must make sure our elected understand that we're watching. #savethedepartmentofeducation #saveourkids

Waiting for my coffee at Starbucks and saw this framed collage, so I decided to see what it was all about. A couple of the notes really struck me. It's all of us. And it seems to me that those at the top need reminding. #wearetheones #dowhatsright #vote

I said it 30 years ago and I'll say it again today: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of working people.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

There has been a devastating 50% layoff at the Dept. of Ed. This will cripple our ability to serve students. We need to act NOW! Please write to your congressional delegation and ask them to take immediate action on behalf of kids across the US. #defendpubliced #fundkidsnotbillionaires #redfored
