This is what I need to hear from every candidate who wants my vote.
Connecticut continues to deal with administration-sanctioned terror unleashed on it, and now another family has been devastated. Congress must take decisive action and not just rein in ICE, but abolish it. Our message to Trump and ICE is clear – get out of our communities. Get out of our state.
Here's hoping Gov. Lamont @nedlamont.com listens to the CT Teachers Union. Can't wait to have a truly progressive governor!
Today, @neapresident.bsky.social & I sent a letter to Democratic governors urging them to reject Trump's private school voucher scheme. This program is a Trojan horse for near-universal private school vouchers, even in states where voters have already said no. www.aft.org/press-releas...

No matter how you feel about AI, its use is growing more widespread and it's important that educators understand how they could integrate it as a tool in their classrooms. Hear from three educators who have been experimenting with AI in this American Educator article ⬇️ aft.org/ae/spring202...

1. The scientists behind the infamous ROGD/Social Contagion myth have released a new study called AYAGDOS, and are recruiting unsuspecting trans youth. They're operating under Northwestern. Community leaders need help spreading the word to avoid the study. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"The abduction of Maduro was not about naming his crimes, but about ignoring them. The worst thing Maduro did is what Trump is beginning to do: killing civilians and blaming them for their own deaths. After Minneapolis, Maduro’s lies are being repeated: in American English, by American authorities."
The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

We’re asking lawmakers to put themselves in the shoes of working people. Imagine getting notice that your health insurance costs will more than DOUBLE. Where do you cut costs? Rent? Groceries? Child care? Congress: it’s time to put workers first and extend the ACA tax credits.
White House weighs risks of a health care fight as ACA subsidies set to expire

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

The Trump Administration has done it: their first _conventional_, Pinochet-style "disappearance," in which a whole human has disappeared off the face of the Earth, and no one has any idea where they are or if they're still alive. Even the Nazis kept records. This is the full-on vanishing of a life.

Can you see the irony? @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov
It's funny thinking back to the argument that Dems couldn't get rid of the filibuster when they were in power because they'd miss it once the GOP was in power.

DOGE has just ordered the closure of 25 Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) offices, including the Osage Agency in Pawhuska, OK. It is devastating to the self-determination, the sovereignty of the Osage Nation. This is the beginning of a new Trail of Tears. osagenews.org/twenty-five-...
