This is double the usual length allowed, it serves no new value, and it’s basically a press release of talking points. Usually this means regular voices get rejected by the Inky, instead the billionaires were the only op-ed published over the weekend. What is happening?

I was walking back to City Hall and ran smack into a protest. Queer and trans activists and their allies are protesting @Marriott Downtown’s decision to host transphobic hate group Moms for Liberty; they plan to be out here every Friday afternoon until the hotel cancels

In the age of neoliberal capitalism, charitable giving follows circumscribed channels of neoliberal policy, such as school privatization, agricultural microlending, and anything that can be depicted as technologically disruptive. bit.ly/41oQ2vo

My statement on the ongoing #phled facilities crisis: pft.org/press/pft-president-…
Replying to @PFTLocal3
.@jerrytjordan: "I look forward to the day when we no longer have to fight for the most basic of needs for our young people--a majority of whom are Black and brown. Because let's be very clear: toxic schools would never, ever be tolerated in a wealthier, whiter school district."

Good Morning @RutgersU. It’s day 287 w/o a contract & STRIKE DAY 4! We are one big union but today we highlight the TIRELESS efforts of grads who are the heartbeat of the organizing that made this possible. This university runs on Grad labor and so does this STRIKE!

If Democrats can criticize a Supreme Court Justice for traveling aboard yachts and private jets belonging to a right-wing billionaire who collects Hitler memorabilia, imagine what they can do to you.

Two Black legislators were expelled from their duly elected positions for "speaking out of turn," protesting children being gunned down in school, and their white colleague who joined them was not! It's right there in your face, and it's always been. WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON
