<U+0001F64B><U+0001F3FC>Ooh! Pick me, I know! Because under Rick Snyder, the @MIGOP made steps (raises) a locally-negotiated item, made our insurance more expensive, killed our pensions AND cut over $450+/per pupil from the budget. Meanwhile, you & Betsy push charters which pay teachers less. https://t.co/eX8fKCOUPd
While it feels like the MI House & Senate flipped overnight, this was actually a feat years in the making. It started when @darrincamilleri flipped his downriver seat in <U+2018>16, paving the way for his Senate run and @Jaime4StateRep to fill his House seat (with another teacher). 1/

There weren<U+2019>t just guns. They were carrying nooses, swastikas & 3% flags. I was in the gallery. We could feel the floor shaking as they screamed <U+201C>let us in!<U+201D> The exit door we were supposed to use in a <U+201C>worst case<U+201D> scenario was locked. But our take is garbage. Okay. https://t.co/BSOgpnh1fs
Ronna lives in my State House District in Northville, Michigan. Churches in Michigan have always been open. Her children attend Northville Public Schools, which returned to in-person classes last month. She knows shes lying, but does it anyways. https://t.co/i37NlEAzfQ
