Quite apart from politics, which is how so many blinkered people see this issue, no reporter at your local school committee board or town council meeting means no one is watching when someone’s brother-in-law gets a no-bid contract. The increase in penny ante corruption must be breathtaking.

❄️ Due to inclement weather and the citywide travel ban from 9 PM tonight - 12 PM Monday, our office will operate remotely tomorrow.

We encourage workplaces that can to do the same for their employees' safety.

It's kind of wild because if people could just talk about Israel as a normal state doing normal state things and committing normal state crimes we would be in a much better place, but instead they have to put its existence and Jewish validity on trial every time.

There is no place for this kind of reprehensible racism anywhere in New Yorkβ€”let alone directed at children who are powerfully advocating for their own rights and education.

The fact that this anti-Blackness came from an educator makes it even more horrifying.

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Kwan and Yamaguchi inspired us when we were young. Our parents pointed to them and said, you can do it too

I'm glad current Asian American youths have Alysa Liu to look up to

Doubly so, knowing that she's encouraging folks to prioritize their health and happiness.

Idk jus some thoughts this morn

H.A. Brown Elementary School Mural By Skype a Scientist

A week ago I found out that the grant I was confident would fund our spring mural will not, bc we're 2 blocks too deep into Kensington. This STINKS.

This project rocks bc it's community driven, biodiversity-focused (& more! read on!)

We're raising money to make it happen

I'm doing the online check-in for my doctor's appointment next week and the very first question is basically "have you got a new rash/have you had exposure to someone with the measles"

I'm 45 years old and that is the first time I've seen that question, and that is SOME GRIM SHIT. Whew.

"I just skate because I like to skate."

"I take breaks and I enjoy my life."

"My friends and family are the most important parts of my life."

"I don't define success as winning."

I listened to an interview with Alysa Liu yesterday and I can see that the interviewers are unsettled by her and do not know what to do with her responses.

She challenges so much of what USians are taught about competition and frankly about how to live a life.
