Abolish ICE.
After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

This. A young person dies by suicide at the blatant encouragement of an Ai chatbot, and that parent company, OpenAI, has contracted with the 2nd largest teachers' union to provide guidance on Ai in schools?! It's outrageous. As an AFT member, I repeat my calls for @rweingarten.bsky.social to resign.

"Whiteness is a credential often presented as neutrality" is a sentence I can immediately recognize as something that will be seared into my brain forever
I doubt a Black reporter could have done this story and been "invited in."
But, apparently, the Times does not consider that this fact may bias their story? How is segregated access "objective?"

Whiteness is a credential often presented as neutrality.
A New York Times real estate reporter interviewed the founder of an Arkansas housing development that admits only white, heterosexual people. “I treated him like a human,” she said. “He invited me in.”

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Israel is "essentially admitting in public to what amounts to a war crime,” said Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
She said Israel "can act with this level of impunity because no international government has really taken it to task.”
