This is a wonderful piece written about the @teachersunifypc.bsky.social summit I attended last weekend in Philadelphia. Any teacher/school can reach a member of the crisis intervention team by calling (203) 296-3689 or emailing [email protected] www.chalkbeat.org/philadelphia...
These teachers survived school shootings. Now they’re offering help to their peers.
“They don't have to be alone with those thoughts or those fears in the aftermath,” said Kiki Leyba, who was teaching at Columbine High School during the 1999 mass shooting.

It was a weekend filled with laughter, tears, hugs, work, planning & determination to make this world safe from gun violence. These are some of the toughest, bravest, most resilient educators. Our experiences brought us together & our friendship keeps us together. @teachersunify.bsky.social

Today-Trump and Musk endorsed Cuomo-Cuomo is the candidate of the billionaires. Mamdani is fighting for affordability for all of us-particularly working families. I disagree with ZM on Israel but I want a Mayor who fights for the strugglers & strivers- not for those who are taking away our freedoms

I see a lot of people wringing their hands over shameless clown + white nationalist Steve Bannon insisting that Trump will serve a third term. And I get it. Folks are so traumatized and rattled regarding the past 10 years that they're letting him get under their skin.
Don't. Here's why.

Dear whatever supernatural force could perhaps be out there, save us from this gauche nightmare. A third term for “orange you glad I didn’t say banana” would decimate us.

He has no right to demolish the East Wing of the White House. While he believes himself to be a king, he lives in “the people’s house.” Shame on those who sit idly by & do nothing to stop him from destroying public property. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

Day 3 of the #TrumpHealthcareShutdown and Republicans in Congress are still refusing to act—while workers brace for painful rate hikes that eat into every paycheck. Families can’t afford this crisis, but politicians are making it worse.
We're on day 2 of the shutdown, and Trump & Congressional Republicans still have no plans to fund the government, fix the health care crisis, or put working people first. #TrumpShutdown

It’s very simple. Republicans in congress created this crisis—and workers are paying the price. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing while families struggle to keep coverage. Instead of working to fix it, they chose to shut down the government. #TrumpHealthcareShutdown

Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats in Congress. Instead, he’s willing to shut down the government to make deeper cuts to our healthcare & services we depend on. It’s time for Congress to put families first and stop the #TrumpShutdown. bsky.app/profile/aft....
Trump & Republicans have control of the White House & Congress, but still can't pass a budget & refuse to negotiate.
Our paychecks, healthcare, & schools are NOT bargaining chips. Congress needs to stop the games & do their jobs.
Tell your rep: REJECT the #TrumpShutdown.
