    Gerrymandering is so bad that the GOP can lose the popular vote by 3 times the margin Trump did and still keep the House. That’s why EVERYONE has to vote. eclectablog.com/2018/03/the-go…

    Trump’s Mar-A-Lago trips cost taxpayers $25M in 3 mo. That $$ could provide school lunch for 65k kids for a year. istrumpatmaralago.org

    Teachers want to be teaching, not holstering firearms. We need fewer guns in schools, not more of them. #MarchForOurLives

    In America, public school teachers are paid about $13,000 a year less than other college graduates. That could be mortgage payments or the cost of groceries for a family for a year. It’s a national failure. It’s time we give America’s teachers a raise. x.com/latimespolitic…

    Education isn't an individual privilege, it's a right for all. Public systems serve all, private vouchers serve few.

    This isn’t about school “systems.” This is about ind. students & families. Schools are at the service of students, not the other way around.
