KY120 United AFT stands in solidarity with students taking action to demand a voice in their education and for our schools to be adequately funded. We applaud them for targeting systemic failures by policy makers, rather than undervalued individual schools or teachers. ( 🧵1/2)
⚖️ WE'RE SUING THE STATE ⚖️
The legacy of the 1989 Rose vs. CBE case that promised an adequate public education has wilted. Now, we're suing the state to revive it.
Join us in supporting this landmark KSVT vs. The Commonwealth lawsuit. ✊🏽 ksvt.org/rose

Direct pay proposed guidance is out and the rules are largely positive and largely in line with how CPE has envisioned the program operating.
Refer to Chirag’s thread here for details on the key provisions (payment schedules, eligibility, transferability, partnerships, etc).

I'm renewing efforts to meet lawmakers from other states to create treaties & policy models we can deploy to stop corporations from pitting states against each other (to get tax dollars without a clear public benefit). Check out my oped with @AnnaForFlorida & @stateinnovation 👇
Great stuff from @AnnaForFlorida and @DavidMoon2014 on ending corporate tax subsidies commondreams.org/views/2022/…

Netflix paid an effective federal income tax rate of 0.8% on $10.5 billion in profits from 2018-2021.
Those of us paying for Netflix paid a much higher tax rate while making a tiny fraction of their profits.
Why should Netflix get millions more in tax breaks in the lame-duck?

What do these two graphs tell you?
1. In terms of levels, unemployment is near historic lows.
2. And in terms of change, it continues to improve at historically rapid rates.
I'm struck by the persistent bad news bias in econ reporting that folks aren't celebrating these facts.

In Milwaukee we showed ~15% #schoolvouchers kids give up every year and go back to public schools. They’re more likely to be Black, lowest income and they do much better when they return to public school. #azed #wisced #miched

Headline inflation was *zero* in July as gas prices and airfares fell (and gas prices will likely see an even bigger drop next month). Core inflation also took a dive. 1/

Remarkable number. Payroll job growth this month is higher (as a percent of employment) than 93 percent of monthly job numbers since 1980.

I am honored to be the Democratic nominee in IL13. Working families in Central and Southern IL need a champion who will fight inflation, tackle the rising costs of gas and energy, and stand up for them. I’m ready to fight to turn this seat union blue in November.
