@pbnjai Omg mushrooms. If you can get your hands on some oysters, king oysters, hen of the woods, chicken of the woods, it’s a whole new world. Also recently learned you can air fry radishes. So you know, do with that knowledge what you will.

I wrote for @thenation about the astonishing consensus on education at the heart of the Virginia gov race (that got no attention at all). Both candidates were in lockstep on why we have public schools: to train Amazon workers thenation.com/article/politi…

"Coal baron living on yacht and driving Maserati goes on CNN to discuss why working class doesn't want paid sick leave"

@MsEnScene I think it was just 10% at the time. It’s since updated to over 21%

I mean this is BANANAS. What is going on. 10 freaking percent?????

@snivyTsutarja @TMarione Any updated Fulop numbers?

@TMarione I'm not sure. I don't know where Fulop's team is getting their numbers, either.

Hudson County Clerk's office hasn't updated results on their website, but here's what Fulop's team has so far for their results. #JerseyCity

Why do “school choice” advocates never advocate eliminating school district boundaries/funding schools by local property tax and allowing poor, Black students to attend white, wealthy schools in neighboring municipalities? They don’t really want choice, just privatization.

Earlier this year I was approached to appear on this show #TheActivist I was contacted by someone "looking for passionate activists who are actively engaged in making an impact in the areas of environment, health, education, and reducing world hunger." I took a call with them.

HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS! HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS!

we're collectively joking about a year of quarantine ruining our social skills and ability to function in the regular world -- but we just can't understand how people come out of prison after 5 or 10 or 20 years maladapted / how incarceration only continues cycles of harm.

I just learned that Yang's "UBI" is $2,000 for the entire year, in NYC. While cutting homeless services, and funding more cops. This man must be joking.

the thing about instacart/uber/taskrabbit/etc is that it’s gotten the most ridiculous urban liberals so accustomed to the idea of having literal servants, but in a totally atomized and depersonalized way where you get to pretend you’re progressive and actually don’t have servants

All we have available is repression, punishment and surveillance. There is no other plan. There is no empathy for pain and no plan to manage grief. There is police and there is military and there are guns, tasers, rubber bullets tear gas and cages. We deserve so much better.

Kids rolling 30-40 deep on their bikes in Perth Amboy, NJ got chased at high speeds by several police cars til a few of them got cornered on a quiet street. One older👮 gives them a talking to and tells them to be safe. And it seems like they'll be let go. They even clap for him.

So, if you live in Perth Amboy, NJ, you need a *license* to ride a bike... and have to renew it annually? The lengths cops and cities go to in order to come up with reasons to harass black people (and make money while doing it) is wild.

...cops aren’t supposed to kill guilty people either...
