PHILLY DA Larry Krasner warns ICE agents in wake of the Minneapolis shooting: "If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is gonna come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here."
"I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted."
"Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?"
"There are honest, decent moral law enforcement officers out there by the bushel, including in ICE. This is not for you. This is for any one of your colleagues who thinks they are above the law."

I teach at a south side public school and I’m always hustling to get more for our students. We need computers for an awesome program I got a grant for. If you can help out donate here! It goes directly to buying the equipment through the site tinyurl.com/4p68f4pk

ICE arrest Virginia man in courthouse raid—right after judge dismissed case against him.
'Agents' had no badges, refused to show warrant, then put him in unmarked van.
"Do not touch me or impede me in my lawful duty," the 'agent' in pink shirt—who seems to be in charge—can be heard saying. "That is a crime for you to do so. Do you understand?"
"It is highly alarming that ICE would show up to court and detain persons whose charges were dismissed without identifying themselves," said his public defender in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Where the man has been taken and what charges he faces have still not been disclosed.

@CTULocal1 go CTU! we will have a TA for a historic contract soon. thank you to the big bargaining team and union leadership!!!

There's momentum at the table. We worked together late into the night last night *and* there's work still to be done.
Our union democracy means there's not a tentative agreement until our Big Bargaining Team votes in favor of one and there's only a final deal when our members approve.

Update: District sources close to bargaining now saying Martinez’s communication “unintentionally misstated” where things are. Negotiations are going today, according to them.

looking like we are going to land a TA soon! what an exciting moment.

Beyond its sports success, the school is thriving: “This school saves a lot of lives." buff.ly/8hTvkvI

@chicago_italian @declatom anyway, go CTU! i’m rooting for us too.
English

@chicago_italian @declatom what have *i* done that is questionable? i’m literally a teacher. i’m a member of CORE but am completely uninvolved with the decisions of the union. CTU didn’t even endorse my previous political campaign. i support CTU but who is doing group think with you coming at me like this?

This is what having an elected school board is all about. It’s already paying off. This is so important. The person running a school district should be an educator. chicago.suntimes.com/education/2025…

@chicago_italian @declatom lol this is such an assumptive and overzealous response to me saying i’m happy our (partially) elected school board is turning the CEO into a superintendent and requiring they have a background in education
English

@AmbriaTaylor @declatom on political groups, it's not them. It's you. Just remember that. Remember you didn't add the entire city's residents to your trade union. You helped elect some ppl, incl the mayor. But that doesn't make you anything holy. You're still an interest group and it takes hard work to

@chicago_italian @declatom i’m not espousing jingoism or lies so hope that isn’t directed at me. i’m posting here about being glad that the CEO position is changing. if you dislike that decision we just don’t align politically. CTU did a lot of work on an elected school board that’s a fact
English

@declatom @AmbriaTaylor within the union. I know multiple people who were punished essentially for not sharing their agenda and questioning their tactics during the munis.
SDG is someone I have a ton of respect for but I am getting tired of the jingoism and the outright lies -- and other ppl are too.
