Hey folx, anyone know of any small student led, teacher led, Black led or people of color led organizations doing amazing work in education that are looking for funding? Please @ them and send them my way. Donors choose projects are great too. Thanks!

Tonight It’s Going Down, Aaron Rupar, and Mastadon have been suspended. So anarchists, liberals, and his business competition. As far from free speech as you could possibly get.

The situation in New York is incredibly grim right now. Eric Adams is trying to cut $14 million from our libraries, $13 million from public colleges, and millions from health, homeless services, and schools. All while there’s a $2 billion surplus and the NYPD gets $11 BILLION.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The reason: The country applies a “Housing First” concept. Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. And: This policy is cheaper than accepting homelessness.

Hi! I’m a grad student doing a project on race/surveillance/school discipline and could use some help. In 1970, June Jordan and Terri Bush collected poetry from 25 brown and black children living in Brooklyn. If you have any leads on the whereabouts of these people, please DM me!

The Los Angeles Police Department posted and then deleted this poll when they realized that it wasn’t going the way they expected.

Well, the mask is off, if it was ever really on. As I predicted, the TikTok ban has evolved into blatant censorship of the internet. Let's talk about it. Big rant incoming, but if you enjoy continuing to have even some semblance of personal freedom, you're gonna wanna listen 🧵

BREAKING: dozens of tenants and homeless New Yorkers are blocking the entrance to Governor Kathy Hochul’s office for 78 minutes — for the 78,000 New Yorkers currently homeless. We need #GoodCause and #HAVP IN THE BUDGET.

You didn’t hear about this. The cruelest NYC Mayor in history—Eric Adams—just cut Medicare for 250k retirees in NY. His next target—in partnership w/ MAGA Republicans & NY’s new conservative Governor (masquerading as a Democrat)—repealing bail reform. Don’t buy what he’s selling.

Conservative NY Gov. Kathy Hochul (masquerading as a Democrat) has been lying to the NY public, then citing polls based on these created misperceptions, to quench her thirst for more tragedies like this one. Needlessly. Shamelessly. Contrary to all facts & reason. An abomination.

I’m sick right now about what’s going on in NY. Every single politician knows how successful bail reform has been so far. They’ve seen years worth of evidence. But, right now, they’re again considering completely gutting the law bc of “public opinion” they’ve refused to educate.

What might it look like if instead of spending all her energy & Bloomberg's money to lie about bail reform, Gov. Hochul instead slammed the GOP for playing politics w/ lives & tax dollars? Explained how much discretion judges already have to set bail, and how often they do it?

DeSantis tried to destroy my reputation, undermine my credentials and work, intimidate me by ordering an armed raid on my home, silence me by jailing me, and threaten me with prison for refusing to drop my whistleblower case. He failed every time. It's been three weeks since we
