Eight years ago today the @nytmag published my cover story on school segregation in the great “melting pot” of NYC and the way elite parents and politicians conspire with structural inequality to keep our schools separate and unequal. Eight years later, this sweet baby girl on the cover is getting ready to graduate 8th grade as a bright, empathetic, funny, honor roll student from @uaunison, a non-screened, neighborhood middle school. By test-score metrics many would label this school a failing school, but just as I write in the piece, we judge these schools AND their students without ever stepping foot inside. My daughter is not worth more than any other child. Eight years later, I still know we made the right choice. nytimes.com/2016/06/12/mag…

Many people are expressing concern about the fact that Elizabeth Holmes' 11-year prison term is set to begin while she is pregnant. They are right to be concerned, and they should be for thousands of other pregnant people too. A thread on on pregnancy behind bars: 1/

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act. If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.

@AlexMLeo Oh Alex, I’m so so sorry to hear. Thinking of you ❤️

Hello! I'm coming to NY for two weeks in Feb, staying in Chinatown, and looking for stuff for my 9-month-old baby to do. I understand it's a very weird time for indoor stuff, especially for unvaccinated little kids, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it!

@GovKathyHochul Thanks Kathy

Cheers, New York! We're going to once again allow the sale of to-go drinks – a critical revenue stream during the lean times last year.

@susanmcp1 Love to you Susan

35 years ago today she walked into the DuPont Plaza Hotel in San Juan Puerto Rico 15 minutes before it was set ablaze by a disgruntled employee. Love you forever, Mom.

@nickgray I didn’t test positive until day 5 of my cold symptoms…

@cmwalla My son only listens to and watches coco melon. Every single day. Only coco melon. The upside is it instantly calms him down and always distracts him. Also he learned colors and numbers so I guess that’s something. But the songs will take over your brain.
