These students' heartbreaking stories of pervasive, unaddressed racism in the specialized high schools ought to spring every half-decent politician and DOE official to immediate action.
"We're so strong," they said. "But we shouldn't have to be."

WOW. The ONLY democratically elected member of the panel for educational policy, which serves as an advisory council to @DOEChancellor is being bullied while @NYCMayor stacks the PEP with supporters of the status quo. We can’t say we’re surprised. We CAN say see you tomorrow 😏
FYI everyone... @NYCMayor just appointed a new member of the PEP ahead of the meeting tomorrow because he’s worried about the PEP not approving a contract he wants passed! Am I the only one who finds the timing of this troubling? This is a call for parents to SHOW UP & BE HEARD!

Tax the Rich Phonebank Whether you are working in person or remote, whether your students are 3 or 23, you know that our students need MORE support, not less. real support, rather than platitudes, costs money. New York State has 100 billionaires... – at Bronx, NY

(1/4) I work in an Amazon warehouse. My coworkers have been fired for speaking up about unsafe working conditions. COVID's rapid spread has made it unsafe for me to take care of my grandma, who’s been recovering from cancer.
Joe Biden promised to stand up for workers like me.

Bye bye, Betsy DeVos!

hi reminder that this is DEFINITELY a superspreader event and if and when these people are arrested and sent to jail or prison, there will be a spike in COVID deaths in those jails and prisons. This violence extends beyond just the capitol

I’m calling for the removal of every @GOP member involved in today’s coup.
If you’re with me, sign your name to my petition to send them a message that you will not stand for their treason ⬇️

So in America you can be shot sleeping in your bed but not when you invade the Capitol building? Got it.

Yes give to Georgia but believe in the vision that is flowing through the south, southwest and Midwest. BIPOC led progressive orgs doing year round work and making it happen on thrifty budgets and movement version of coupon clipping.

If you’re a legislator who’s denouncing the NYPD’s use of excessive force against protesters last night, then I hope you also supported decreasing their inflated budget earlier this year, when you had the opportunity and responsibility to do so.

The number of liberals tweeting about how Flint or Florida or Texas shouldn’t get disaster relief or fed $$ to address ecological, infrastructural, or environmental crises because of how they *vote* shows how y’all are addicted to punishment and allergic to structural analysis.
