Bob Ney: Rick, do you think, with the virus going on, that some Republicans who support Trump will use the postal system? Rick: Yes! That's why Trump said it was okay to use mail-in ballots in FL.

Ray Nowosielski: We want to put "unionism," "labor," & "solidarity" right up there with other progressive movements like Black Lives Matter, climate change, etc. We also want to appeal to Trump voters.

Christine Vaccaro, New York teacher @chrissievac @BadassTeachersA

Christine Vaccaro: We did away with standardized testing last year and no one died. If we could reframe education without that piece, and address what teachers can offer... We're one of few professional jobs that require advanced degrees.
