As @rweingarten.bsky.social said of Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters:
"His priority should be educating students, but instead, it’s getting Donald Trump and other MAGA politicians to notice him.”

Chicago!!!! Join us TODAY for a MUCH NEEDED discussion as we face the most overt attack on Black America since Jim Crow. See y’all at 1 pm!
I voted no on the RFK deal.
Not because I don’t love football.
But because I love D.C. more.
We just cut programs for kids & housing, now we’re spending $1B+ on a stadium?
That’s not an investment.
It’s a loss.
And our people deserve better.
A coalition of 16 states and D.C. argue in the lawsuit that the Trump administration is trying to effectuate a national ban on gender-affirming care for youth by intimidating hospitals and doctors.
COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?
HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
I love this new blog post from @aft.org member Amber Chandler about her experience at #TEACH25! This is what the biennial gathering is all about—bringing our members together to learn from and with each other. sharemylesson.com/blog/teach-2...
Justice Sotomayor: "Today's ruling threatens the very essence of public education."
"The reverberations of the Court's error will be felt, I fear, for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent."
Today on Juneteenth, we acknowledge the moment when all African Americans were finally notified of their freedom.
Still, that “freedom” is a loose term.
Ending chattel slavery and the transatlantic slave trade was a moment of liberation, but that alone doesn’t define freedom. 🧵
For Those Who Stand Against Tyrants There are still your stories, still stars in the pine trees. There are still children making their way back from school, trying not to step on cracks in the sidewalks, believing it matters. There are still mothers kneeling in the ruins, promising the gunshots aren't coming. There are still fathers alone in the night, the wounds in them like mule-deer in the orchards, trying not to clack their antlers. There is still the heart, the moon. Come, loves, let's stand here after madness. The world is not over, only broken. There are old books, there are horses in the lemon trees. There are children, still, waiting in the classrooms, looking up with tired eyes full of wonder. Look at them. There is work we have to do. —Joseph Fasano
for today—and every day
My book was already spotted in the wild! The official release date is July 8th, but you might be able to get it earlier. Thank you Margaret, for your support!!
With all that’s going on, my favorite thing right now is getting emails from students for whom I wrote letters of recommendation, telling me they got the thing. It’s such an honor to be a part of a student’s journey, and so exciting when they share their accomplishments ❤️❤️❤️
NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE.

Saw Sinners in 70mm @AFI #SilverSpring riveting art that enveloped me in both an inner soul & out-of-body film experience.
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures!
Michelle, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you.
Production in Hollywood has been suffering. But it's unclear how a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the United States would work – or who it would help.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

"...the Trump Administration really does want to be in the business of education after all. They just want to pick and choose who they help and who they hurt, rather than build on six decades of bipartisan efforts to improve public education.” - @rweingarten.bsky.social
