I am SO proud to be one of the @NEAStaffUnion members who held the line.
Also, y'all really took "𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒃" to heart & showed the world what that means. Thank you. Solidarity forever! #1U neasomatters.org/ratified/

We just flipped SD-01 and ended the Republican supermajority in Iowa.
Next up? Defeating @JoniErnst.

Your reminder that the top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year — but instead of garnishing their wages and withholding their tax refunds, they get more tax breaks and the elimination of the teams at the IRS who investigate tax evasion.
This is what an oligarchy looks like.

ALT Three panel cartoon drawing with a woman and a dog. The first panel shows a woman kneeling in front of her dog saying speak. The second panel the dog says "not without my union rep". The third panel the woman says "good boi" and gives a treat to the dog.

Just when you think they can't go any lower-
HHS dismantles the Advisory Committee on Newborn Screening.
Make no mistakes. This is catastrophic.
And I won't attempt to sugar coat it any longer.
HHS is putting the health of our children at stake. medpagetoday.com/special-rep…

An awful lot of the anti-Semite @SJPOSU “Long Live the Intifada” losers that march from @OhioState down to the Statehouse are just like Khalil. They might want to get their bags packed before the next one. 👀

BREAKING: CEA joins teachers and parents from State Rep. @BrianStewartOH’s House District to demand that he do his job and fully fund schools! The school districts Stewart represents face a total of $76,000,000 in cuts. Unacceptable. Our Schools, and our futures, are #InOurHands!

If you think that this regime is just going to try to move education funds into new agencies without rolling back rules and protections for kids, or without losing crucial dollars because DOGE says so, you haven’t been paying attention to the last few weeks.

As seen in other states, the SC voucher fund has insufficient accountability & oversight.
So far:
- $1.5 million sent to Florida-based company called Class Wallet to administer.
- $1.5 million spent on 4,387 computers. We don’t know what type of computers are being bought or if they are being returned for money or credit.
- Homeschooled children have received vouchers, which is illegal under voucher law. How will these funds be recovered?
- One voucher recipient was attending a school in a different state.
- Who are the 453 tutors? What are their qualifications?
All of these issues with just 1,845 vouchers. Imagine if we did have 10,000 vouchers.
Up to 1,000 ineligible SC students booted from voucher program, report finds scdailygazette.com/2025/03/0… by @sky_latte_

OK, I'm going to try to make this simple.
Measles is VERY, VERY contagious.
More contagious than flu. Or Covid. Or RSV.
When vaccination rates drop, measles can spread like wildfire.
Some children will get very sick.
A few will die.
That's why it is important.

A crucial article. Ohio politicians often claim they've been increasing school funding, but that claim ignores reality
Public schools, which 90% of #Ohio kids attend, have been starved while the state funnels $$ to unregulated charter/private schools

McMahon goes on record saying private schools funded by taxpayer vouchers—including a federal voucher scheme—do and should have the right to turn children away if those children don’t fit those private schools’ needs.
It’s not parent choice. It’s the school’s choice.
.@SenAshleyMoody I know you think that dig at brave educators speaking up today was cute. However, have you ever asked them if it’s difficult to “maintain calm” during shooter drills (& shootings), under constant attacks to public schools, their students & profession, etc.?
.@SenatorBanks - the educators you frame as being “disruptive” in a hearing to confirm a candidate that threatens the future of our students are showing a brave commitment to students that I wish elected officials like you would learn from.
