@herbifulyloaded @AsadFromNYC So Inwood was better when it was Irish? And East Harlem when it was Italian?

Williamsburg was a better neighborhood when it was Puerto Rican

No child should have to hop the turnstile on their way to school because their OMNY Pass got damaged or lost. Not only is it humiliating but it also puts kids into direct contact with law enforcement and heavily contributes to fare evasion culture.

@Available2All @ZohranKMamdani @NYCSchools @Dyrnwyn Here your 990 disclosure

@Available2All @ZohranKMamdani @NYCSchools @Dyrnwyn Your board chair @Dyrnwyn should ask why your president is paid $334k per year to work 1 hour per week. What sort of grift are you running?

.@ZohranKMamdani now oversees @NYCSchools. He’s called New York “the most segregated public school system in America.” But our board chair @Dyrnwyn has a question for the mayor: Will he take on what’s driving this educational redlining? Assigning kids to public schools based on where they live. wsj.com/opinion/why-wo…

The loss of life from ending USAID surpasses the war in Gaza. A direct decision by trump himself. You should be just as outraged about this

@Josmar_Trujillo I listened to the podcasts where the retired boss cops talk about policing protests. They often to the left of what council is doing. Bizarre.

@Josmar_Trujillo The school one is especially bad, could be used against parents and teachers at their own school or keep people away from Tweed.

@RossBarkan Rejection of AI will paint the progressive wing as anti-growth. The momentum in the party is now with moderates. AOC will not be able to compete on a national level with Healey, Spanberger, Sherrill, even Hochul will do better.

It'll be smart for Democrats to start treating AI money like they're already treating AIPAC money. Rejecting it will become a litmus test (with good incentives) that will, over the long-term, provide far better outcomes for our democracy.

They said prices would go down – and they're higher than ever. They said no more wars – and we're sending troops to Iran. They said they'd Make America Healthy Again – and now measles is back. The consequence of all of this is our kids' lives and futures. We deserve better.

Platner and Hasan supporters are saying the exact same thing. I’m not convinced that the way to appeal to young men is through a former mercenary who advocated for war crimes and a guy who said America deserved 9/11. You’re telling me these are the only two guys y’all can find?

Joe Scarborough on the Republican shutdown: “You want to run Venezuela, but you can’t run Laguardia? You want to change governments in Iran, but you can’t even make Houston’s airport work? You want to take over Greenland, and yet you can’t even make Atlanta Hartsfield function?”

@GerardFilitti You can be bothered to check the dates on the events. Bad lawyering.

Let's be precise about who is responsible here. Under New York City's mayoral control structure, the Mayor appoints the Schools Chancellor. The Chancellor runs the DOE. The DOE decides what goes into classrooms, and who gets to speak in them. That means Zohran Mamdani is, through his Chancellor, directly responsible for the school system that promoted his wife's work while blocking a Holocaust survivor. That is a conflict of interest. No one should expect this administration to investigate itself, or to take any action. The governance structure doesn't work that way. What does work: federal law. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits viewpoint discrimination in federally funded institutions on the basis of race, color, and national origin. New York City public schools receive federal funding. The Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education has jurisdiction and enforcement authority. The question OCR needs to answer is simple: what neutral, consistently applied standard governed the decision to exclude Sami Steigmann while promoting Rama Duwaji's work? If no such standard exists - and it doesn't appear to - that's not a policy disagreement. It's a federal civil rights violation. New York families don't need to wait for City Hall. They need to file. @TheLeoTerrell #TitleVI #NYCSchools #Mamdani #EndJewHatred

Wow. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy says the agency had to "beg" to get a key LaGuardia crash investigator (a specialist on air traffic control) through TSA in Houston after she had been waiting in line for THREE HOURS.

🔥🔥🔥I’m at JFK and I was on the train leaving a whole bunch of TSA officers and they were bitching about having these ICE guys standing around doing nothing while they’re working their asses off and not getting paid! They are really really really mad and they’re not blaming the Democrats

@lyndonbajohnson And is responsible for massive loss of life by escalating the Vietnam War. Sure, great guy.

We like Lyndon Johnson because he stood for racial equality and integration and two states in Israel and Palestine. -OS

Hey, @BernieSanders are you moving back to Brooklyn to pay your fair share of taxes?

@SusanBEdelman @NYCMayor @NYCSchools x.com/psulliv/status…

“And Stay Out!,” a new report by the nonpartisan watchdog Available to All, shows how children are prevented from enrolling in successful public schools solely due to attendance zones. @NYCMayor decries the socioeconomic and racial divisions in @nycschools, but has not addressed exclusionary school zoning based on housing, aka "redlining," an op-ed in @WSJ argues. wsj.com/opinion/why-wo…

@Available2All @bbellafiore @NYCMayor @Dyrnwyn @WSJopinion @ZohranKMamdani You are paying your boss $335k to work 1 hour per week. Explains why you have the wrong zone information. Work harder.

@PSulliv @bbellafiore @NYCMayor @Dyrnwyn @WSJopinion @ZohranKMamdani We've spent the last year taking a very close look at New York school zones, but not just NYC, also upstate.

Why Won’t @NYCMayor Take On Educational Redlining? by @Dyrnwyn wsj.com/opinion/why-wo… via @WSJopinion @Available2All @ZohranKMamdani

@Available2All @bbellafiore @NYCMayor @Dyrnwyn @WSJopinion @ZohranKMamdani I see you are funded by the Walton Foundation so being from Arkansas, you have no exposure to nyc school zones.

@PSulliv @bbellafiore @NYCMayor @Dyrnwyn @WSJopinion @ZohranKMamdani There are ways to keep your kids close to home without boxing your neighbors out.
