Charter Schools are an unaccountable grift that harms children and erodes our public schools.

Gov. Hochul's budget proposes lifting the cap on charter schools & reauthorizing 'zombie charters' in NYC. This undermines the historic investment of public school funds meant to benefit children in NYC. Attached is my full statement w/ colleagues & .

They repeatedly break laws passed to limit their power. That's why the approach must be defund and abolition.
Pittsburgh cops are just flaunting city traffic law changes, for example.

LOL the city finally sent a snowplow down my street three days after it would have helped. Now we've got a sheet of ice until it's warm again but thanks for the salt I guess?

My wife has worked in education for nearly two decades and I’m a college professor, but we’re still barely able to navigate the IEP process for our kids. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for other parents.
Special education should not be this difficult for families.

5 Black officers and 1 white officer brutalized Tyre Nichols to death. The 5 Black officers were fired, charged with murder and had their faces plastered everywhere 3 days after the murder. The white officer wasn't mentioned and was quietly "relieved of duty" yesterday. America

Once again the media has swallowed Byron and his allies' efforts to turn this into a communications problem and ignores the actual problem.
Lack of fluoride is the problem, not lack of transparency.
Lack of snowplowing is the problem, not lack of plow trackers.

"For the Common Council, we’ve been trying to have more transparency," University District Council Member Rasheed N.C. Wyatt said. "However, it doesn’t seem that the administration follows suit with that."

Multiple studies show only 3-9% of 911 calls are for violent crime or crime that could possibly warrant a police response—and 91-97% are for social needs. If you think the solution is to spend even more on 3-9% while ignoring 91-97%—you’re making public safety worse, not better.

I think people think if it’s not headline news it didn’t happened so I’m going to start telling you about the Black people police killed that you didn’t hear about, maybe 1 a day so you understand the magnitude of a police state that kills so much we can:

MN Police claimed George Floyd died of a “medical incident” & made 0 mention of kneeling on his neck for 9 min
Memphis Police claimed Tyre Nichols had “trouble breathing” & made 0 mention of beating him for 10 min
Media needs to hold police accountable—not parrot their claims.

Prayer vigils are not a substitute for transformative public policy and real police accountability. Someone tell the mayor and other elected officials, who stood on the steps of City Hall last night to condemn the Memphis police without addressing the blood on their own hands.

Studies very clearly show that funneling more tax dollars and weapons to cops results in them murdering more people.
Biden is funding and militarizing our police even more than Trump did, and it’s resulted in a *record high* number of civilians killed. twitter.com/twilliamwallac

1. Don’t create “elite” police units who get special privileges, less oversight, and get to take shortcuts.
2. Definitely don’t give those units names like “Scorpion.”
3. The cops who really, really want to work on those units are the last cops who should be working on them.

Charging or jailing the killers is not enough. Justice is changing the conditions so no-one dies during a traffic stop.
Policing is fundamentally broken. Trading white officers for Black ones was never a solution.
If we're serious about public safety, we'll fund our communities

The easiest way to not "feel shamed" when disabled people talk about how everyday activities like dining out during this pandemic are leading to their erasure from society is to prioritize covid precautions in your own life - boom then you won't feel ashamed for not doing them!

the time is always ripe to talk about GETTING COPS OUT OF TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. every part of the experience of driving would be safer. traffic stops are the most common encounter between civilians and cops! also police use them to extract money from people, esp poor people!

I remember the Rodney King assault. I remember how many of us thought the footage would change everything, Finally there was “proof”. Now there’s footage everyday of police brutalizing us. This footage is in HD & often comes from the police. Nothing changes. #TyreNichols
