💰 The UFT just signed a $23M deal with OpenAI & Microsoft — no MOA, no strong enforcement, no transparency.

Educators = sold out
Classrooms = test labs

Where’s the accountability?

Have you reached out to the two victims of retaliation this week? Why no endorsement of the victim? Why are you talking about an election that’s over? We entrust our union to keep us safe and protected.

This is another example of workplace retaliation against another @UFT PM staffer who dared to run against your Unity leadership caucus. Fired for choosing to run on another slate.

Your Unity leadership caucus has allowed a toxic culture at 52 Broadway and in this union infrastructure that goes beyond this election.

It’s time to open up our Union to true transparency, democracy and accountability. End patronage.

It’s sick and it’s time to address it.

Take ownership, Randi.

Misogyny at the UFT Delegate Assembly By Katie Anskat

I rarely comment on the political goings on in AFT locals, and given the AFT’s role as arbiter, I almost never do it in union elections. But this is truly disgusting and hateful & beneath us. No one in our union should be engaged in this behavior. Period. open.substack.com/pub/katiea12...

Pray tell

I’m not even a Christian anymore, Joe. But the left can’t continue to cherrypick for their own graven image of Jesus.

Jesus speaks for himself.

And we’re not listening to the working class - “red, and yellow, black and white,
they are precious in his sight”

Yeah, ftr … I’m a leftist, too.

You should see my iambic pentameter. But we just met.

I get it. But satire and parody seeks to point greater truths. This one falls flat, imo.

We just met…but you should know. I hate mayo.

As the son of a carpenter/builder & one himself, he spoke all the time about “kitchen table” issues.

The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. — Matthew 9:37–38

Let’s not create our own Jesus.

Jesus’ top followers, his disciples, were working class Judeans - fishermen, tax collectors and tradesmen.

His parables are replete with working class characters.

He also served the marginalized - “the least of these”.
