This sounds like a truly horrific idea. No pun intended.

Anyone know a journalist at NYC City Council right now? Trying to get news about what’s going on.

LOL it’s snowing, NYC. Good luck.

A coalition of +40 organizations are mobilizing tomorrow morning against proposed legislation in NYC Council to create protest “buffer zones” that activists and legal scholars say will stifle and criminalize protest and seems focused on stopping pro-Palestine demos against illegal land sale events.

This thread is wild. There are so many PSAs about subway surfing that I guess those in charge forgot to make ones about “hey, don’t hijack a subway car.”

Prospect Park was really stunning earlier.

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

I cannot overemphasize how thrilled I am about tomorrow’s snow day. Every single teacher I know is thrilled. Every single kid I know is thrilled. I haven’t heard any parents complaining. Let’s never do a remote school day again.

The snow is doing some beautiful things

The officers started texting each other instead of talking out loud, so their conversation would not be recorded by their body-worn cameras, prosecutors said. And when the driver left the scene without permission, they did not try to stop him or report that he had left, prosecutors said.

Thanks for watching so I don’t have to.

So is it going to happen today or not? We got less then 4 hours for this east coast time zone.

Watch the Olympics with your kids so they can tell you you’re old enough to be the athletes’ mom.

Trying to get things done in a community where 99% of people have never even considered organizing horizontally and without permission from “those in charge” sure is something.

A person offered me a seat on the subway. So now I have something else to obsessively overanalyze for the entirety of this ride.

Sunday’s Weather Rating: 1/10 Absolute nonsense once again, with wind chill values near -20° F this morning. Winds are less terrible than yesterday and it “warms up” into the teens later. The vibes remain completely frozen.

When I’m making a test, if there’s any extra space at the end of it I ask my students to draw something. It’s always delightful. (This was from a quiz on subtracting integers.)

My bus took a very unanticipated detour—probably due to snow—and a lady started screaming that the bus driver was kidnapping us.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

Zoomer coworker after teaching one day remote: “That was TERRIBLE.” Me: “Now imagine doing that for months on end.”

Totally not having a panic attack remembering how I once had a student JUMP OUT A WINDOW during remote teaching. It was a first-floor window, but still.

Wow these fourth graders don’t know what a “breakout room” is because they were in preschool when we went remote in 2020.

Minnesota is on the eve of a general strike in rejection of ICE. Hundreds of businesses are closing and 80+ solidarity actions are being held across the country. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social talked to some of the strikers. prospect.org/2026/01/22/i...

if the mta sold F/M swap merch they'd be funded for the next decade

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

ICE hanging outside my MIL’s nursing home so they can disappear the staff when they try to leave for the day.

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

I taught online from March-June 2020 and then off and on the next school year. I now work with people who didn’t and they don’t understand my absolute dread about pivoting to remote.

just let NYC kids have a SNOW DAY if it's a SNOW STORM!

A lot of USians having this moment lately.

The Gulf of Mexico came up last week when I was with students, and I said, “Gulf of Mexico” and then looked around for reactions and I cannot believe this is real life.

Oh no what is he going to try to name Greenland?

Rachel Maddow is posting crimethinc.

Happy 11th anniversary of me losing my fucking mind over this QVC clip

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well. Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

Absolutely in awe of the people of Minneapolis for protecting each other. They are so damn mobilized *and* organized.

Just got two good pieces of news so let’s goooooo.

I’m probably getting observed tomorrow and I’m at that point where I know I’m good at my job and more importantly I AM NOT A FASCIST so just let me cook.

Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained." This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

My family in Minneapolis is under armed fascist occupation. Don't really have anything to add except to note that.

I introduced myself to the voice of the subway—Bernie Wagenglast—and she was so nice and so gracious and it was yet another “I’m so happy to be from here” moment.

Watching Stranger Kids with my kids and they immediately clocked how abusive Hopper is, so I can count at least one parenting win.

The only reason we know ICE agent Jonathan Ross is the person who murdered Renee Nicole Walker is because Kristi Noem alluded to a previous incident and reporters started digging.

Star Tribune has identified the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good as JONATHAN ROSS after DHS head Kristi Noem exposed details about a separate incident he was involved in during today’s press conference in NYC www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...
