Huge shoutout to the organizing @UrbanCoreGR is doing in Grand Rapids! 👏🏾 "'We are really hoping to continue to support what people are asking for and they're saying they want to be involved and to build power. They just need the community and support to do it,' said Valdivia."

Twitter posts be like: -woman dead at 34 from heart failure. -man, 40, dies of stroke -millennials diagnosed with early onset dementia. -woman 28 experienced pain, finds several blood clots. And all the comments are just: What a mystery!! What’s going on with people!

Once again, this is likely heading for a Biden veto. Good! But we can't be complacent. Because this is the kind of thing we can expect to see more of 1) Biden must use his full legal authority to deliver on his promise to cancel debt 2) Debtors need to keep getting organized

Powerful people are trying to weaken public schools in an effort to expand the privatization of education. One way they are doing this is through fanning the flames of culture wars. Check out this article that breaks it down!
"[Universal voucher programs] both defund schools and give people who already go to private schools money to stay in those private schools. So this is to starve public schools of the funds they need to succeed." — @AFTunion President Randi Weingarten capitalandmain.com/teachers-…

Three days ago, a 15-yr old boy had an anxiety attack in the school bathroom to hide from his bullies and struggling grades. His “guidance” counselor pulled him into a room alone and told him to power thru and stop saying he was suicidal for attention even tho he was crying so hard the capillaries in his face were broken. Fun fact: the boy has never been in trouble nor has said this before. The boy is now in the hospital an hour away from his family due to a real attempt to leave this world. Because the school would not listen all year nor accommodate his mother’s requests for help and a 504 plan, he felt he had no hope and could not face another day. The boy is my son. And I’m so angry at the GC in his school I’m frozen. They’re now complying to help with classes and gave him a new counselor. These new accommodations are not enough. Our story isn’t rare. Schools need to wake up and make some real changes.
