White educators, we have serious work to do.

Dear Teachers & Parents, My 13 year old started creating a collection of stories, highlighting one AAPI leader each day to create a list of 31 by the end of May. It's created by a kid for kids. Here's access to the google slides: tinyurl.com/AAPIMonthEMC #AAPIHM #miseducAsian

Today, @WHYY execs raised the threat of layoffs during union wage negotiations if we did not agree to their unreasonable demands. This is an unconscionable stance. Here’s why 🧵 (1/6)

I am a WHYY member but I won’t continue my support if employees are continued to be mistreated and underpaid. I stand with the WHYY Union!

Check out this fantastic thread from Keziah. These examples can inspire all of us educators, regardless of grade level. #CriticalRaceTheory

Cops are getting a $133m raise over 3 years and meanwhile these are the hours for the 52nd st Free Library of Philadelphia branch.

Only in the United States could the government run a public health campaign centered on fears of large, unexpected medical bills.

Meanwhile, Black folks sitting behind bars for weed convictions.

It is ridiculous that @SDPHite and Philadelphia Board of Education think it’s okay to open schools tomorrow. There aren’t enough tests, enough staff, enough protective measures in place to keep everyone safe. It’s not worth risking lives to be in person this week.

Only four free COVID tests after almost two full years of the pandemic. No more stimulus checks. No universal healthcare. No workplace protections. No relief for working people. It cannot be more obvious that the US government is in a formal alliance with Big Business.

The #phled school board passed the resolution unanimously & spoke to the power of the youth that put it on the agenda and the need to address their concerns as a matter of policy! Much gratitude to ALL of you that pitched in!!! …stick around, we got more to do :)

2 years into this pandemic, our city has largely "reopened" but free, public libraries still scrape by with few evening and no weekend hours. Strong libraries are essential for the safety and well-being of our city, Darrell Clarke. #FundOurLibrariesPHL

With the $20 million going to wage tax cuts, we could instead fund 250 school counselors and nurses, 7 day/week libraries or expanded mental health mobile crisis units. Who are these cuts really for, if the average person will save less than $2/month? #TaxtheRich #WealthTaxPHL

THREAD: I have studied crime data and police violence for years. I have come away from this work with the firm belief that police commit many more illegal physical assaults than the number of arrests that they make for serious crime.

Sasha Suda where are you? We are truly in disbelief and saddened by the abject failure of leadership. Are you CEO in name only? In pay only? Hiding doesn’t absolve you. People will not forget that you kept us outside and refused to show your face.

Shame on The Union League. Observing of all the smug fascist sympathizers walking into the building to see @RonDeSantisFL get an award made me realize these folks don't care about people or folks anger, but they are scared of our ideas. We need to continue teaching the truth!
