I believe the purpose of education is to help everyone create a healthy, informed, curious, and compassionate society.
A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it
Mamdani turned up at BAYO at Barclay Center yesterday and said he was going to fight to get Haiti off the travel ban and he said Haiti correctly

common misconception that I’m a pacifist. no, I’m just against every war we have actually had in my lifetime. lots of hypothetical wars I might favor but only warmongers think those fantasy scenarios apply to the real world.

Breonna Taylor was in bed when her home was invaded by men whose salaries she paid, who then shot & killed her, leaving her to bleed out w/o any medical care for 20 long minutes - her killers not "bad apples" but representatives of a system predicated on dehumanizing Black lives.

Really wish people would stop talking about the problem with Science under Trump as “budget cuts”.
No. Budgets are set deliberatively by elected members of congress. Budgets haven’t been cut.
What’s happening are *purges* and *censorship*.
