On the day after the Fourth of July in 1978, a group of young disabled people blocked two city buses at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Denver – to declare their right to live independently.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his final speech 58 years ago tonight (Apr. 3, 1968) in Memphis. It’s widely known as the “mountaintop speech.” This is a powerful excerpt of that speech. It’s still meaningful and very applicable to the current moment.

We spent two decades unspooling the damage done by calling kids “super predators” in the 90s, and this complete dingdong wants to jump right back there. 🙄🤦‍♀️

🚨New working paper alert! 🚨

The US spends huge $ on special education services for students with disabilities. Is that spending effective?

Today we released a working paper suggesting it is.

"Special Education Substantially Improves Learning: Evidence from Three States"

Let me explain...

What happens when the winter sees unseasonably warm temperatures and there’s a lack of snow throughout the West?

In the words of the great Frederick Douglass about the cult of Robert E. Lee, “is it it not about time that this bombastic laudation of the rebel chief should cease?”

Trump is forever trying to mess with Treasury and now student loans are moving out of the Department of Education and into Treasury.

I expect shenanigans to quickly set people off. This is not good.

There's a hearing in the House today—bitterly ironic that it's being hosted by the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution—entitled #Immigration Policy by Court Order: The Adverse Effects of Plyler v. Doe. I'm gonna use this thread to share some thoughts.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

We sent 4 records requests to the Education Department — the first more than a year ago — seeking the status of school investigations, findings of discrimination reversed under Trump and more.

The agency gave no response except to acknowledge it received them.

The banner beside Kirk reads “Empowering Our States to Tell the Stories of Our Heroes in American Education.

While the Justice Department is beginning to investigate local school curriculum in states like mine.

Here's the truth:

The Republican tax bill gave out trillions to the top 1%. Meanwhile working Americans - firefighters, teachers, nurses - were left holding the bag.
