What’s misleading this graphic is Trump didn’t add votes. He had 3 million fewer than ‘20. What this doesn’t show you is Harris got 14 million fewer votes than Biden did in ‘20. Because no compelling case beyond “not that guy” was made to show up for her.

🧵 It’s time we talk about Doug Lemov’s "Teach Like A Champion" (TLAC) and its detrimental impact on education. This approach is emotionally manipulative, stifles creativity, and treats children like miniature professionals. Here’s why it’s not fit for purpose. #EdChat

1400+ Columbia University alumni from its 20 schools have pledged to withhold all “financial, programmatic, and academic support” until school meets demands related to divestment, student discipline, and community safety. Group website says over $63 million of donations at risk.

I’m not going to stay silent on this any longer. I am Jewish and I have been on the wrong side of this before. Of course I was, the propaganda machine is enormous. But I was wrong and I want to share my journey of learning and unlearning. tl:dr: #CeasefireNOW #FreePalestine

Should the bye bye bitches try to save Kirsten? Who could they get Reilly to put up that would be better to lose? Maybe America, she seems lower on that alliance line. Anyone else they could pin it on? #bb25

.@SymoneDSanders, give me a call sometime so I can give you the real tea on CB. AP Classroom is such a cop out answer. Teachers will focus their time on required concepts, anything not on the exam will collect dust in that library.

.@CollegeBoard’s Steve Bumbaugh told me that “politicians misrepresented” the details about their curriculum - including Governor DeSantis.

We’re out here fighting for black history in classrooms the same week we get yet another video of police murdering a black man. All of this is connected. Change requires learning an unfiltered history.

AP African American Studies is an incredible opportunity for students to learn our history & it’s shameful – though not surprising – that Gov. DeSantis opposes this. Proud to support @AmandaDoAmanda of @thinkfiveable to call on @CollegeBoard to step up:

AP African American Studies is a HUGE step forward considering the whitewashed AP US History & AP World History exams. Remember when they removed pre-colonialism from AP World? 🙄 This new class brings back the African history that @collegeboard cut.

If @CollegeBoard edits out important terms like “intersectionality” and “Black Queer Studies” from the AP African American Studies course, they will be complicit in the continued erasure and violence against these communities.

The @CollegeBoard needs to step up. Because it's not worth our time rationalizing the conservative demands, when College Board has the power to say no to racism. But this is the precise moment that they always cave. I've seen it before.

White supremacists will always try to limit access to info b/c empowered groups of people will upend oppressive systems. Other conservative governors will almost certainly pull similar stunts. @CollegeBoard should have expected this reaction & they need to respond in a big way.

🧵 I’m not surprised by DeSantis’ political stunt to reject AP African American Studies in Florida. What matters now is how @CollegeBoard responds. They can fight such blatant racism by offering the course online to all, sidestepping local censorship. https://t.co/j0Me8VwQwa

We're calling on @CollegeBoard to stand against the blatant racism that is happening in Florida by making AP African American Studies available online, so that every student & teacher can access it, regardless of where they live. Read our full statement: https://t.co/8qasIezw0N
