President Trump doesn't care about public schools. Unlike me & most Americans he never went to one. He wants to eliminate the Department of Education so his billionaire buddies can divert funds to private schools & get a huge tax break β€” all at the expense of American students.

In 1968, Sidney Poitier was at a press conference at the height of his career. He made it very clear how he felt about the press. Funny that I had to find this on a discarded film reel with 1000s of books, Microfiche and films. Now you can see it.

It's no accident that school vouchers lead a #project2025 education agenda that includes book bans, and restrictions on what educators can say about race and gender in public schools.

Vouchers are part of a Christian Nationalist agenda. One that prioritizes freedom for white Christian men like Trump, Vance, Sam Alito. And me. All of that is true. Watch the full clip. I stand by my demand for public policies that have a broader meaning of freedom.
.@michiganstateu Professor Josh Cowen demonizes "White, Christian, males" over a proposed school voucher system while also claiming school choice will "weaken our democracy."

MOHELA is the latest student loan company to line its pockets while refusing borrowers the relief they’re owed. So this morning, the @AFTunion filed a consumer protection lawsuit against MOHELA. We won’t stop until every borrower gets the forgiveness they deserve. #RealSolutions

Let’s make her story!!! I'm with her @VP
The @aftunion Exec. Council just voted to endorse @KamalaHarris for president, subject to ratification by delegates to the 2024 AFT convention. Harris is fighting to restore Roe, fighting for families,for student debt relief and is a powerful advocate for workers.

From record-breaking job growth to expanding health care coverage, @JoeBiden has spent each and every day working on behalf of the American people. I can’t say the same about the guy running against him.
