Cloture!! The bill is moving forward, and we are one huge step closer to Social Security fairness for the thousands of retirees who have seen their earned Social Security benefits reduced. The Senate needs to finish job by voting for final passage to #RestoreSocialSecurity xitter.cf/SenateCloakroom/status…
Invoked, 73-27: Motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to Cal. #693, H.R.82, Social Security Fairness Act of 2023.

We are devastated. Schools should be the safest places in the country, and with every shooting, it becomes clearer they are not.

Our goal as public school teachers is to teach kids how to think, not what to think. Trump wants to change that- he is threatening funding if they don’t teach what he wants. That’s indoctrination and it’s dangerous. Our kids deserve better.

The BTU is all in for #YesOn2. Check out this thread for some opportunities to canvass around Boston this weekend!
If you haven't seen the polls, Massachusetts voters are in support of Ballot Question 2, which would remove the MCAS as a graduation requirement. But we can't get complacent. Join us and the @massteacher in canvassing this weekend🧵 mobilize.us/massteacher/even…
