Despite the chaos of a severe storm and flooding in NYC, Manhattan remains fairly clear.
Meanwhile, folks still need their $15 salads, and the hardworking outer borough residents are expected to brave the closed-down trains and show up for work.

Disasters like this flooding disproportionately impact our most vulnerable. Many New Yorkers have no choice but to take flooding trains and buses to work or risk their lives to deliver food. We hope for safety for New York's workers.

Been up since 4am with first day of school nerves.
Just a friendly reminder:
@NYCSchools end at 2:15pm
My work day ends at 6pm
I work because I want to bring change to the world but the financial burden of childcare is a continued reality.

Systems need to change. We need to stop punishing parents and instead support them.

The irony is affirmative action is actually forcing meritocracy in a system designed against it. And white folks, particularly men, are mad because policies like affirmative action make them have to work for opportunities vs get them by default or entitlement.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Todays decision on Affirmative Action by the Supreme Court is a true travesty.
Affirmative Action isnāt perfect, but necessary for those systemically overlooked by our core institutions.

Race has never been irrelevant in this country.
Whether itās how the European settlers treated the native Americans when they arrived here, or the institution of slavery being established before our independence.

Communities of color have always suffered & been marginalized.
This ruling goes against that history.

āthe decision was the latest illustration that the courtās conservative majority continues to move at a brisk pace to upend decades of jurisprudence and redefine aspects of American life on contentious issues like abortion, guns and now race.ā nytimes.com/live/2023/06/29/ā¦

Re-wearing your clothes shouldnāt be a radical idea. Itās something we grew up doing.
If something ripped we fixed it.
If it got dirty we washed it.
The fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to the #ClimateCrisis. Letās be better.
Thrift, borrow, rewear.

I will ALWAYS choose:
- Religious freedom over intolerance & discrimination.
- Democracy over authoritarianism & suppression of voices.
- Inclusivity over division & marginalization.

These values are fundamental to building a just and equitable society.
Iām tired of the excuses

And while I understand diplomacy is important, so is calling things out things for what they are and asking for answers. Accountability is part of the job.

DACA recipients are teachers, service members, business owners, doctors, and parents. They are our friends and neighbors. We are a better nationāa stronger nationābecause theyāre here.
As we mark the 11th anniversary of DACA, letās continue to organize and push Congress to build an immigration system that offers these Americans a permanent pathway to citizenship.

#NeverHaveIEver felt comfortable as a teenager w/my identity. I was always so confused & made a lot of terrible decisions š¤¦š½āāļøš.
Watching Devi navigate trauma, teenage angst, & self discovery has been both triggering & therapeutic. Itās helped me realize that I wasnāt alone.

Being a kid of immigrants comes with so many ups and downs. Youāre trying to not disappoint your family but also trying to figure out who you are and where you belong in the world.
