I'll take this one. The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe. Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math" A thread.

@NinaGBailey Kyle Whipple shares some of the effects of anti-trans laws — and how so many are considering moving to safer states. Anecdotally, folks are moving to refugee states — like MN+CO And, of course, this is intersectional — who has the option to move? #AMTE2024

@NinaGBailey shares results from the US Trans Survey. The data is super clear that the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of adults who transition are more satisfied with life after transition than before. ...WAY higher satisfaction rates than, say, knee surgery #AMTE2024

But there's hope! There's stuff educators (and teacher educators) can do — to protect queer and trans kids and adults in schools. Appreciating these concrete actions when so much seems hopeless. #AMTE2024

So grateful for the #AMTE2024 Advocacy Lunch, with a focus on LGBTQ+ rights. Being in Florida right now is fraught — this is a super important issue for @AMTENews to discuss

The owner of this website lost $16B when his car company’s stock slipped this week, yet he’s still the richest man on the planet. Let’s be clear: if you can afford to lose $16B in one day, you can afford a wealth tax.

Greg Abbott is trying to defund our schools with a private school voucher scam. Not on our watch. Today I joined my colleagues to introduce the Fully Fund our Future Act which will invest in ALL students and give every teacher a $15,000 raise. #txlege

if you are registered for @AMTENews, you should have the opportunity to write a 40-character description that will be displayed outside your session. @alexaleehassan suggests using some of your character allotments for statements of solidarity:

When you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading. “WE SHALL OVERCOME…” Serendipitous, indeed.
