1/ It’s important the media expose the violence being done by orgs like the Heritage Foundation, initiatives like Project Esther, & the Zionist project. Yesterday’s story in @nytimes.com did not do that, though - a long 🧵on what’s actually at stake here.

Yesterday evening I went to a poetry reading by Palestinian Poet Ahmad Almallah hosted by Al Bustan. I left profoundly moved and ended up writing the poem “Fires”.

More district malfeasance here. They have know about overcrowding at Lincoln and other schools. #PhlEd
The District must deliver immediate relief to overwhelmed staff at Lincoln High & other overcrowded schools. It is reckless to wait for the Facilities Planning Process to be completed. We need more employees in these schools to address safety & disorder now. www.inquirer.com/education/li...
What it’s like at Philly’s Lincoln High, where overcrowding has significant consequences
There aren’t enough lockers. Some students have lunch at 9 a.m. Crowded hallways mean there’s often not enough time to get to class.
