Video from today's first gas attack. Saturday morning in Chicago.

More from the scene

Who is going to write the book about this mafia NBA poker scheme because I need to know everything now.

You could never make me hate my hometown because say what you will it’s never boring.

yesterday ICE appeared in force on canal street, making what reporter @felipedlh.bsky.social described as “indiscriminate arrests” of anyone they racially profiled as potentially a non-citizen (read: black & brown people). ICE claimed this was due to selling counterfeit goods and appeared to—

(Obviously not following the advice.)

My age and female means you are completely invisible to strange men (yay!) . . . until you wear clothing with a sports team on it and then every random dude wants to talk to you (boo).

If you’re feeling bad about yourself, at least you’re not this parent.

If you’re on a public bus maybe don’t have loud conversations about how a specific teacher at a specific school is very unhappy with their job and looking to leave. Didn’t want this info but now I have it.

This is so messed up.

Walter Masterson and Climate Defiance vs. PLACE-NYC. You can guess who won. youtu.be/A3lBuIl90lk

Today we had a fire drill and as I walked outside I saw racist anti-Mamdani signage, so I scooped it up and made my sweatshirt into an impromptu “bigotry bag” so my students wouldn’t see it.

Obligatory post in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day. Have a blessed one (unless you're a racist, then you can go to hell).

Good lord. @apnews.com

I remember when a senator and the FCC chairman got all lathered up about a "wardrobe malfunction" at the Super Bowl during a war built on lies that probably killed a million people. Seeing a pattern here.

the fascism is for sure happening now. all the far flung harms you anxiously laughed off before are on the table. take time to think earnestly and calmly what you need to do to stay safe and survive. the time for brushing it off as alarmism or prematurity is over.

Very grateful for NYCPS educator chat groups right now. Project “Freaky Friday” is disgusting and infuriating but we’ll defend our students. #AbolishICE

My dream is for all NYC Trump properties to become public property! Housing! Schools! Oh the things we could do!

Walking into my school after listening to audio messages from teachers in Gaza City. The sounds of shelling drowns out their words. I don’t even know what to say.

Thanks, Covid! 😭

1. Great news for trans students in Chicago. Chicago Public Schools has announced it will defy Trump's demand to ban trans youth from bathrooms. Trump will now pull millions in federal funds. "Our district will not back away from doing what we know is right." Subscribe to support our journalism.

This dude has never heard of Willowbrook?

'tylenol doesnt cause autism i cause autism' tshirt

All this because he can’t deal with the fact that Autism is genetic and he has an Autistic kid.

Well I know what shirt I’m wearing to my school tomorrow! (I know it’s cringe, but I had a student get really excited to see a pro-Autism message so I will wear it forever.)

This whole thread is worth reading

Wait the rapture is supposed to happen on my birthday??? Let’s gooooooo! (I’m not going to be raptured in case there was *any* doubt.)

Three out of six Dems mourning a dead transphobe who supported HRT bans are among the 18 of Democrats voting against trans rights for military members. *(Suozzi voted for the sports ban amendment, and against the bill)

An ACTUAL NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS BATHROOM ISSUE is having kindergartners and eighth graders sometimes sharing the same bathrooms in K-8 schools.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Thank you mysterious chalk artist. Needed this today.

Very curious if people who don’t work in special education know what this is. I rescued it from the school trash.

Very much feeling like I want to jump out of this rapidly acceleratingly boiling pot of water that is fascism!

People complaining about explaining Groypers to their Boomer parents—well I just explained them to my Silent Generation mom.

Oh. And it’s 9/11. 🫠

Good luck to all the HS teachers l today. Just heard some teenagers talking about *that video* on the bus.

The anti-trans resolution that caused all the attention on D2 CEC in the first place has been repealed. Whether Mark Levine’s appointees will vote for anything else progressive or will side with PLACE for inequality (as Sam Lo’s social media posts imply) and defunding remains to be seen.

Sure. Why not have an aircraft fly low over Manhattan on a beautiful September day. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good luck to all the NYC families struggling to get their kids to school today now that the kids realize summer is really over and they have 179 days left of being told what to do and how to sit and ugh.

A student asked me if I saw K-Pop Demon Hunter and let me tell you I was ready to kvell.

If your kids are nervous just reassure them that their teachers are nervous, too. 14 years of this and I’m still nervous on the first day!

Happy first day back to school, NYC!

"We're going to need a story about this accident. Say he was helping a woman. That should work. Also, is he wearing pants? Make sure he's wearing pants."

Well that was fun. It’s going to happen. It’s inevitable. Don’t lose hope!

If you’re ever having a bad day remember that at least several social networks aren’t planning parties to celebrate your imminent demise.

My son is going to riot this school year. First Adams took his dumplings—now his nuggets? Riot.
