    Our brother Yoni Vallecillo, a Honduran immigrant and teacher at Jones College Prep, is now a newly sworn-in U.S. citizen. He has just voted in his first presidential election. Such a powerful and absolutely wonderful moment. Don’t ever take this right for granted. Vote.

    A Halloween classic from Miss Cooper’s class at CICS Wrightwood on the South Side. Word is there’s a Thriller 2.0 coming. Stay tuned. 🎃🧙🏾💃🏾

    We did our thing in Chicago, too. Ms. Jazmine Cooper — about 7-8 months pregnant at the time — and her students at Wrightwood Elementary on Chicago’s South Side. Halloween 2019. Epic. Don’t sleep on the little queen in the pink. 💃🏾

    Good morning! This is 102-year-old CTU retiree Bea Lumpkin casting her vote-by-mail ballot. If Bea can do it, anyone can do it. Vote!

    Dear President-elect Biden: Rahm Emanuel closed 50 schools and covered up the murder of a 17-year-old Black child until after he won re-election. Sincerely, Chicago

    The results of tonight's citywide electronic ballot are in. Starting tomorrow, all CTU members at CPS schools should be working remotely. The result of tonight's vote was 73 percent in favor of the remote-work-only job action.

    Teachers are truly terrified. This is not the right decision.

    Adam Toledo was loved. He was one of ours, and we are keeping his memory and his Gary ES family in our hearts, along with his mother, family and the people of Little Village. We wish them healing and comfort right now. Love your children. Love your communities. Love yourselves.

    Mayor Lightfoot has started locking Chicago public school teachers and staff out of their Google Classrooms. #LoriLockout
