The real trick is pretending you care about kids while attacking the people who teach them. 🎃

People don’t need SNAP because they don’t work. They need SNAP because work doesn’t pay. #OneJobShouldBeEnough

Teachers — too many back to school costs are coming out of your own pockets. That’s that we @nysut are fighting hard for a state educator tax credit because you shouldn't have to choose between supplies for your students and groceries for your family.
