As Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans praise the legacy of John Lewis, remember that they’ve been actively blocking voting rights legislation for 237 days.

Hey @realDonaldTrump I immigrated from Pakistan at the age of 6. I TOO have a lot to say when it comes to our democracy. And oh yeah, I also served this Nation with my life as a US Marine. So please don’t ever tell me, I should go back to the country I came from! #RacistInChief

Online preschool isn't real early education - it offers none of the social or emotional benefits so critical to early learning! #RejectOnlinePreK commercialfreechildhood.org/… #TBATs #TED2019 @BadassTeachersA @DEY_Project @commercialfree

Boss of upstart: we’ll get things rolling—THEN YOU NEED TO ASK YOUR STATE LEGISLATURE TO HAVE THE TAXPAYERS PAY US FOR UPSTART. Wow—this is philanthropy in 2019, @TheAudaciousPrj? #TED2019 #RejectOnlinePreK commercialfreechildhood.org/…

#TED2019 & @TheAudaciousPrj got it wrong - online preschool isn't an audacious idea. It's a terrible one that will exacerbate inequality. #RejectOnlinePreK commercialfreechildhood.org/… #TBATs @DEY_Project @BadassTeachersA

Why should Waterford UPSTART get an award & a grant for putting 4 year olds online? Preschoolers need social interaction, working with peers & hands-on learning. They do NOT need more screen time! #RejectOnlinePreK #TBATs @DEY_Project

Too much screen time is not good for kids, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. See more by BAT's own, Dr. Denisha Jones. #TBATs deyproject.org/denishas-blog… @denisha_jones @BATs_DC @DEY_Project @VirginiaBATs

"Greater flexibility" when they never open or close months after opening? Should they have flexibility to never open at all with millions of federal dollars?

Co-opted language to sell a plan to harm public schools @BetsyDevos again shows that she has an agenda to starve & privatize public education! #NoFreedomScholarship .@BadassTeachersA #TBATs #SupportPublicSchools #PublicSchoolProud @Rosadelauro @RebRoybalAllard @RepBarbaraLee

Unfortunately, Betsy DeVos isn't paying for thousands of failed charter schools. We, the taxpayers, are paying. She is giving our money away to failed schools.
