🤡 @Moms4Liberty is rage tweeting tonight because @TinaDescovich and @4TiffanyJustice did a @60Minutes interview where they were thoroughly unprepared and exposed for being bullies to educators & families.

HAPPENING NOW: @Rweingartne joins @hshierholz, @BeckyPringle, and @ailenarreaza for a panel on strengthening education. Follow along in the thread below.
Right, @hshierholz: A big part of the staffing shortages we're seeing with teachers and school support staff is pay. The employment losses that came with COVID compounded the shortages we faced after the Great Recession. #EdChat #WhatKidsNeed @EconomicPolicy Image
.@hshierholz: There are COVID state & local fiscal recovery funds, and state & local revenues have rebounded from COVID. There is money to hire, and school districts are trying to. But people aren't willing to fill these jobs because of low pay. @EconomicPolicy #WhatKidsNeed Image

HAPPENING NOW: @rweingarten talks to the @nysut conference of leaders. Follow along in the thread below.
.@rweingarten: After the 2016 election, several of us got together in Washington DC to see what we needed to do next. Rather than talking about politicians to voting, we now focus first on what the values are to lead people to vote.
.@rweingarten: It doesn't matter where you are or how you've voted in the past. What matters is, what are the values we're voting on? I know everyone in this room believes in well-resourced public education as an aspiration agent.

HAPPENING NOW: @rweingarten talks to @ABCNewsLive about gun violence, educator stress, and more. Follow along in the thread below.
.@rweingarten: There are some great aspects of technology, like me joining you from Buffalo after visiting an amazing elementary school. We’re headed to a unity rally next. We must lift up the victims of this senseless tragedy and not forget #Buffalo.
.@rweingarten: We know as educators that there are ways to #EndGunViolenceNow. When other countries have had mass shootings, they made common sense changed to prevent them from happening - in the name of the students and teachers in a Uvalde, shoppers in Buffalo, and more.
