Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

In the 1970s, Kohlberg established something like 5 schools. By the 2000s, there were only 2 left. (Westchester county & CA.) As a single mom raising sons, I’m enormously grateful to Kohlberg’s “experiment”. My sons grew into ethical and empathic men, and I give Kohlberg hella lot of credit!

Back in the 1970s, Lawrence Kohlberg established *Alternative High Schools* with the mission to help kids develop personal and social ethics (he considered that as important as “academics”) In the early 2000s, 2 of my kids attended one
In Westchester co. It was transformative.

This regime thinks the Kurds are stupid and have amnesia. Same way the regime thinks of us.

My most disliked comments from New York Times readers: “I’m not surprised.” Cynicism is so tedious.

Yep. Goldman’s got ads, & says stuff here on this platform- but moved his district BK office from a central location in Park Slope to his now “hideout” office in Industry city Sunset Park- very hard to get to. He’s a facade. He’s a fake. No interest in representing us. Go @brad!!

Brooklyn: “Locals attempted to block the ICE vehicle with their bodies…The crowd looked to prevent the vehicle from making a getaway by not only standing in its path as it continued to chug along, but also by pulling debris into its path, such as construction barriers.”… #AbolishICE

Sarah, I so appreciate how you keep showing up and
showing up and
showing up and telling the truth,
and showing us the dots
and connecting the dots —
through the YEARS and through the YEARS.
Thank you, thank you.

Yes, and Maduro is in the same jail as Immigrant children who are being held there. About 19 blocks from where I live.
BK folks hold candlelit vigils for detained immigrants.
(Ghislaine was held there also. Along w Keith Raniere. And Luigi.) That’s my “tour guide “ spiel.

Also, Dan- what gets to me is you and me and millions of Americans have to think through *every choice we make - for survival - b/c we’re taking care of our families, neighbors-etc— & when Jeffries says “rein ICE in” that’s so fucking irresponsible- Because it’s not ENFORCEABLE. No thought involved.

Yes, he cancelled a town hall that he was supposed to have w/ constits in 2018. Sorry such shitty “leaders” - Jeffries & Schumer -both hail from Brooklyn NY. We did okay electing a mayor who cares about people. Otherwise, we’re really embarrassed.

I live not far from where Sen Schumer lives & have joined - (honestly don’t have enough fingers and toes to count - ) so many protests outside his apt building since *2017*
He has no interest in seeing or hearing us and has the gall to tell us to run out and “flip” those “red” states.

“Reining in” ICE is
UNENFORCEABLE
ICE can’t be “reined” in.

Jeffries’ and Schumer’s new tactics when challenged:
They get defensive AND self promote at the same time. It’s so gross to have to interact w the defensiveness of these electeds. Like trying to fence with goo.
But that’s what their consultants have trained them to do.

Excellent questions, Waj! And the fact that Jeffries stammered and got defensive (!) angers me in the same old f’ing way.
The mechanical arm movements, the blah blah blah - he’s more interested in remembering what his consultants told him to say and how to move his arms: he’s unable to hear you.

BREAKING: Rep. Crockett torches Ghislaine Maxwell and Trump in a blistering takedown, saying this admin is busy shielding the powerful instead of serving justice. Brutal and fearless.

The Trump Administration Arrested Don Lemon Like He Was a Fugitive Slave Lemon’s arrest is not only a clear violation of the First Amendment but a blatant throwback to the Constitution’s long-discarded Fugitive Slave Clause.

Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.

Just left a message w Schumer to remind/explain to him that his position is *temporarily* cushioned by Americans both dying and resisting - as we’re now thrown into the front lines of this war being waged against us - and a reminder—Hitler quickly disposed of his appeasers.
