On this day in 1930, the U.S. Department of War forced the grieving families of Black veterans killed abroad to travel separately from white families to visit their loved ones’ graves. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history.

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

I'm happy everyone is teaching Amanda Gorman's poetry. But it's also another moment where I wonder, "Are we white teachers ready for this moment?" Whether it's Childish Gambino or The 1619 Project, white teachers always seem to have a pretty slides ready the next day. A thread 👇

He's gone. And now, it is up to us to drive out what he represents. He is lies and bigotry and injustice and tyranny embodied--and the work is only beginning to drive him out of our body politic. Joy, today. Resolve, tomorrow.

In class: Teach about coup AND Georgia victory. (They are connected. Black advancement always meets repression.) Now more than ever, students need lessons/inspiration of organizing in face of white supremacy. Resources: @BillMoyers on grassroots org.: https://t.co/RjXubi5BX2

Today we celebrate because our joy is a form of resistance too.
My four year old turned to me and asked "what does this mean for racial capitalism, neoliberalism, and empire?" I said, "not today."
