Congratulations to our new—and maintaining!—National Board Certified Teachers 💜 And to all this year’s candidates, I see your effort and honor you striving!

Every one of us, whether native or newcomer, deserves the freedom to live, learn, and exist in peace—period.

I am disgusted by the recent racist remarks from the current administration.
Donald Trump’s hateful words don’t stand in Minnesota.

Yesterday we marked the International Day of People with Disabilities—a call to advocate loudly and proudly for disability rights and inclusion.

Ensuring that all students can access the excellent education that they deserve is critical—thank you to everyone who works to make that possible for our students in special education. #NationalSpecialEducationDay
On National Special Education Day, we celebrate the educators, support professionals, and staff who empower students with disabilities and provide them with a quality public education.💚

We must support and respect educators.
We must address higher education costs.
We must take action against gun violence.
We must end student debt once and for all.
We must fully fund our neighborhood public schools.

We must create an education system that works for all.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The landmark law transformed education—making schools more inclusive for students with disabilities. But IDEA has never been fully funded or implemented.

We have a duty to advocate for it, so all students can thrive.

This week we will mark fifty years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Now is the time to strengthen and fully fund IDEA—not deprioritize and devalue our students with disabilities #IDEA50
Inclusion isn't optional—it's a civil right. IDEA guarantees students with disabilities can learn in the least restrictive environment alongside their peers. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/Disability_Education_cuts/?source=bsky.mr #IDEA50 #MomSky

You may not know it, but November is National Family Engagement Month—and parents and families are our best partners.

Students truly thrive when educators and families have shared trust, and collaborate to ensure student success.

An insult to students and families—announced during American Education Week. Students need more support, not less.

This #AmericanEducationWeek, I was lucky enough to visit Barrett Elementary School to discuss something that affects too many: food insecurity.

Between the shutdown and the food assistance cuts in Trump's budget bill, students are going hungry—and no student can learn on an empty stomach.

I had the privilege of visiting Barrett Elementary with @neatoday.bsky.social colleagues to kick off #AEW2025! A heartfelt thank you to the cafeteria workers who welcomed me onto lunch duty and to every education support professional who does the work behind the scenes so our students can thrive.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we not only mourn the lives of our trans siblings and neighbors taken too soon, but also demand a cultural shift.

Every person of every gender deserves safety, support, and love—period.

From paraprofessionals to bus drivers and beyond, Education Support Professionals deserve their day! #WeLoveOurESPs
November 19, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Today is #ESPDay, a moment to pause and appreciate the education support professionals who quite literally keep schools running.

Bussing students to school, feeding them meals, furthering their education, keeping their classrooms clean—education cannot happen without the tireless effort of ESPs.

Shame on this administration.

Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures.

Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.

Members of @wearencae.bsky.social should be proud of all they are doing to keep their students and families safe, while ICE spreads chaos in our communities.

Fear-mongering has no place in our schools.

It is #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, and as always, we support and protect and celebrate our trans educators and students.

A functioning government is the bare minimum.

Working families deserve more than this short-term deal that Congress has finally passed. We deserve affordable groceries, accessible healthcare, and leaders who actually work for us.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who have sacrificed in service of our country.

The best thanks that we can give now is protecting and upholding our democracy.

Reopening the government is a basic job duty for the party in charge.

No one should have to choose between providing their families food or healthcare. Yet Republicans are determined to deny both—they put politics over people. They must end the shutdown without robbing families of basic needs.
