🧵Working Teamsters and our union are mounting the first credible strike threat at UPS in 25 years—and it is paying off. The latest win is air conditioning, more fans, air-induction vents in cargo holds, and new heat shields. tdu.org/ups_air_condit

This is disgraceful from & CUNY trustees Fatima Mousa Mohammed’s remarks are not hate speech. Classifying rightful criticism of Israeli settler colonialism, Zionism, & the NYPD as such is an act of political cowardice, all to pacify the worst right wing impulses

I taught on the 5th floor of a 100 year old building. I taught on days with 90 degree classrooms and 38 students in a class. We made the most of every minute and it was joyful. But I knew my kids deserved so much more. That struggle lit a fire in me.
