The Koch donor network - made up of billionaires + pro-corporate zealots - is going hard after Minneapolis eductors + teachers who are striking just so that their students + schools can get the resources they need + educators can live decently.
The Center of the American Experiment (see previous tweet) is an affiliate of the State Policy Network, a national federation of rightwing think-tanks that pushes tax cuts for oligarchs + and is funded by the Koch-donor network.
Back in 2018 we at @twittlesis put out a guide on the billionaire school privatizers, regional corporate forces + Koch-backed think tanks (like SPN) that were trying to dismantle public ed + crush teacher unions. news.littlesis.org/2018/05/14/a-g…

5/ MA Gov. Charlie Baker has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from entities tied to and/or pushing Weymouth - lobbyists, corporations, banks, etc.
1/ The Massachusetts DEP is holding a hearing tomorrow on a permit for the Weymouth compressor station - which has faced intense opposition from groups like @MothersOutFront & @FRRACS_MA.
2/ MA Gov Charlie Baker can stop the compressor station. And residents have made clear the health concerns around it - not to mention that the larger fracked gas export infrastructure it's part of will lock in new CO2 emissions for decades to come. wbur.org/earthwhile/201…
