Big fucking YIKES at Publishers Weekly.

A Philly school principal told The Inquirer they’re experiencing what they call “the season when we get charter kids.” We dig into a practice that several administrators claim drives troubled students from charters to district institutions.

Must read. “Americans are needlessly losing lives and money,” said Galvani, director of Yale’s Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis. “Medicare for All would be both an economic stimulus and life-saving transformation of our health care system.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

😮 A university without a library ceases to be a university. Full stop. I’m flabbergasted that a “determination” about a library’s future — besides FUND IT AND STAFF IT — needs to be made by an institute of higher learning.

My message to Trump: Your message of bigotry won’t work. Somali Americans are here to stay. 💅🏾

It's been a *hard* year. I'm guessing that most of the people in your life don't need another scarf? Could be that they (and you, too, maybe?) could use some liberatory nourishment and fortification for this next chapter, though? 1/x

Senator Mark Kelly has seen the Trump admin's classified justification for the boat strikes and said they should be released to the public. Kelly can release the info himself due legislative immunity; but when asked if he would, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

🗣️Take action for Yari before it's too late. Yari has chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a serious illness. Since being detained at Eloy Detention Center, a notorious ICE facility known for horrific conditions, she has lost over 55 pounds & her health is deteriorating. actionnetwork.org/petitions/fr...

AT&T commits to ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs as it seeks approval from the Trump admin to buy wireless spectrum assets

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

Like I’ve now hit a point with certain people and places .. where I hate the racists less than ten enablers and glad handlers The racists/ xénophobes/ and snobs aren’t even that bad in terms of allowing my marginalization They just know you’ll coddle them because of your bias

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Hundreds are getting trained to help with school safety patrols to protect kids and families. It's really something.

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

NEW: Amid the pop and wail of fireworks, the family of Jamar Clark unveiled a marble stone bench at the place he took his last breath. The bench unveiling came after an event commemorating ten years to the day that the 24-year-old was fatally shot by Minneapolis Police on Nov. 15, 2015.

People fleeing climate change are as legitimate refugees as those fleeing war & persecution. The rich countries are mostly responsible for climate change, so we have a responsibility to take climate refugees. Their homes will never to be safe to return to. theconversation.com/how-the-rich...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Aya. Before the war Aya was an Arabic language teacher at a kindergarten. She was forced to flee her home and this week in addition to the floods her tent also burned. She has four children Omar, 10, Mohammed, 8, Wasim, 5 and Yasmine, 3 months

Jamaica more or less out of the news entirely just a few weeks after Melissa hit. It shouldn't be. "Hurricane Melissa changed the life of every Jamaican in less than 24 hours."

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Trump's Chicago deportation blitz has hinged on aggressive and forceful policing tactics: Shootings, takedowns, chokeholds, car chases, chemical munitions, etc. To get a better sense of the scope and the impact, we mapped incidents, spoke to those affected and analyzed policy. tinyurl.com/3nrkaw55

this is actually really something. The NY Times stuff is bonkers.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Appreciate your boosting/sharing of this episode in particular. Action items at the end include a petition for Leqaa

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too. If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole. apnews.com/article/pets...

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area. “We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”
