I don’t feel insulted when people say “You’re just being #political.”
Because #politics are about #policies that impact #people and the #conditions of #communities.
“Your father wasn’t political.”
SEE: voting rights, fair housing, labor laws, Selma, Montgomery, etc.

"You needed us to step up during the pandemic. We stepped up. You needed us to switch to remote. We switched. Now it's time for the city to step up for us." @LBUFT at Brooklyn,Borough Hall loud and strong to the #UFTContractRally fighting for a #FairContractNow

Every. Single. Day.

Every single day here you will walk through a rant or a screaming fight or sit across from someone crying on the subway. Shows of emotion are exempt from judgment or action. You just have to stay out of it unless the person needs pressing help. This is a *core* part of NYC living

It is with such deep gratitude that I step into the role of NYSUT President. Following a 16-year journey at NYSUT, I am excited to lead us into a new chapter. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible. Now, let’s win big for our educators and students!

That moment when he realizes he put a Jim Crow-era slogan in the bill he’s claiming isn’t voter suppression😬

I appreciate the @NYCMayor's enthusiasm, but he's getting ahead of himself. The new CDC guidance is very complicated & still needs State review, plus he & his team have yet to sit down w/administrators & teachers to figure out what's even doable w/space & safety protocols. @UFT

Reminder: Teachers didn't cause this global pandemic.
Reminder: Every teacher wants to be back in school full-time - & every day, we get closer to that goal.
Reminder: Every teacher wants & deserves a safe learning environment for their students & themselves.

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us.
They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

The crowd outside the White House celebrating Joe Biden’s projected victory is blaring YMCA — the song President Trump closed out his latest rallies with.
