Paraprofessionals and support staff show up every day for students. But when the school day ends, many are still figuring out how to make ends meet, leaning on their village for childcare, picking up extra work, or going without. That’s neither sustainable nor fair.

On May Day, we didn’t just talk about history: we walked through it with our students. We spent the day with a class visiting the National Veterans Art Museum, the Haymarket Monument, and ending at May Day actions—connecting American history and literature to the living labor movement around us.

School closes. Paychecks stop. Bills don’t. PSRPs keep our schools running all year — but every summer they’re left without income and without unemployment insurance access. This week, there's still time to show up for them.

Illinois’ public universities are being slowly starved—and students are paying the price. Years of chronic underfunding have led to program cuts, fewer faculty and staff, and rising tuition and fees at our public colleges and universities.

On May Day, we spent the day with IFT Secretary‑Treasurer Pankaj Sharma and his class bringing American history and literature to life.

Just because school's out doesn't mean the learning ends. IFT is offering several opportunities for professional development, but registration is only open for a limited time!

Save the dates! IFT members will be joining events around the state to on May Day to demand that our government put our students and working people over greedy billionaires and corporate profits. Then, we'll be taking our fight for funding to Springfield on May 27.

Students in alternative schools carry more than most before they even walk through the door. But without full funding, those resources are stretched thin.

When classrooms are too large, students get less individual attention, educators are stretched thin, and learning suffers. Teachers know this because they live it every day. Students feel it because it shapes their experience in school.

Students don't just need a teacher, they need a team: Counselors. Paraprofessionals.  Nurses. Support staff. Custodians.  The list goes on.

Told @AJE that the US's strategic defeat against Iran also raises questions about the sustainability of American primacy, not just in the Middle East, but globally. Iran has done to the US what Ukraine did to Russia.

The last 14 months have been a disaster at the hands of Donald Trump.   It's far past time to get back to working for the best interests of the American people. That's what I'm fighting for.

Some very good advice about reflection from that great Philosopher W. T. Poo. Sometimes the most important things are having stayed, tried, been there for friends and family. Happy Holiday Sunday.

I was in transit to the west coast today and emerged to the Twitter fight heard round the world. Let’s be clear, Trump will probably have the last say in messy divorce because he controls large parts of Elon’s money. Remember, Musk is a gov’t Welfare Queen.

Instead of protecting Americans, Trump’s cruelty and chaos is allowing corporations to profit off of people’s pain. We must close Delaney Hall.
