Going to get into the basketball side of all this shortly, but before that:
Jaylen Brown embraced this city & community in a way few pro athletes have. The youth in this city will never forget it. There's a legacy/impact here that is so much deeper than basketball.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” invests over $50 BILLION per year for vouchers that let private schools pick and choose which students to educate.
The American people do not want to privatize public education, they want to strengthen it.

In this Defense of Democracy @_dofd podcast, Karen Svoboda talks with Glenn Harris and James Haslam of Race Forward about the history of public education, the #PublicSchoolStrong campaign, and how public education is the foundation for a just democracy.

This is day 3 of my 4 day *Education Wars* tour through Iowa. In cities and rural areas hearing the same thing: GOP here is actively working to make Iowa a worse place to live & dismantling public schools is at the heart of that project cciaction.org/events

A special shoutout to Becky Pringle of @NEAToday and her remarkable speech at the DNC last month. She highlights the importance of education as a foundation of our country, with her notable background in education for over 30 years.

Please like & share if you stand with Haiti and Haitians
Another African American brother from Springfield Ohio speaks out
"I hear familiar accusations against us for centuries..You called us the same thing to dehumanize us. We stand with Haitians"
Trump wants to privatize education & abolish the Department of Education. We can’t let that happen - our kids depend on public schools to learn the skills they need to be successful & contribute back to their communities. Fund our schools! #PublicSchoolStrong #PresidentialDebate
Project 2025 threatens to dismantle the very foundation of public education. We must stand up for our schools and our communities to ensure every child has access to quality education. #ProtectOurSchools #publicschoolstrong @healschools

From my interview on the @thereidout "They want peace. They don't want our money to be going to weapons. We want to be able to keep our hospitals in Georgia open. We want to be able to...reopen the OBGYN clinics where half of our counties don't have one in Georgia." #GAPol

Walz on Vance: "I can't wait to debate the guy...that is if he's willing to get off the couch and show up."
[crowd loses it's shit]
James Haslam retweeted
Walz would be a game-changing VP pic.
Again and again he reads as:
✅Not condescending
✅Actually interested in people's lives
✅Laser focused on substantive policies (food, health, ed) that will reduce daily stress and drag us out of conspiracy land podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

*There's much more voter energy for protecting and improving public schools than there is for byzantine public-private schemes that benefit the well-off more than they do disadvantaged youth* Terrific @KizzyRocNRolla breakdown on why Shapiro = a bad choice inthesetimes.com/article/kam…

This @StrikeDebt workshop on school district budget crises starring @schooldaves, @nora_delacour & others looks fantastic. Highly recommend if you're trying to make sense of what's happening and/or want to organize in your community debtcollective.org/event/cli…

Kind of amazing that education funding & school lunch turned out to be key in getting the French to vote against fascism. Taking this as a win for my lonely insistence that public education is a *popular front* issue
Was thrilled to join @BisforBerkshire for a day of organizing & the book launch of Education Wars. It’s a must read for everyone re: how we must unite our communities to protect and strengthen public education for the sake of multiracial democracy & future. #publicschoolstrong
To celebrate today’s release of The Education Wars (!!) we invited @piper4missouri, @nrookie, @JohannNeem, @noraflanagan (and many others) to help us bring the book to life in this special episode of @haveyouheardpod on.soundcloud.com/WevLAzw2vq…

This review of our soon-to-be released book, The Education Wars, by @nora_delacour for @jacobin is just amazing. Not sure I’ve ever read a book review that left me feeling so inspired! jacobin.com/2024/06/public-s…
