Spoke with @StateDept today regarding @POTUS support for selling F-16s to Turkey. Erdogan has said and done nothing to show this is the right move for long term stability in the region. I will continue to push for policies that protect our allies in the Eastern Mediterranean.
This is my candid letter of resignation to my Harvard Dean. I try to tell the unvarnished truth about the decadence in our market-driven universities! Let us bear witness against this spiritual rot!
With all the money coming to our district, we need to make sure that it is used to addressed student needs post-pandemic!
Share your voice with CCSD trustees and Superintendent Jara about using this money correctly:

Assembly Ways and Means Committee passed a bill this evening that had been stuck in budget committee limbo: #AB116, which decriminalizes minor traffic offenses, make them civil infractions. Activists framed this as pretty much the last major criminal justice reform still alive
Proud to be a part of @INVESTNV and to be at the @ClarkCountySch board meeting today to advocate for our students and families to our @CCSD_Trustees. Lets ensure our American Rescue Plan funding is spent in a way that our community feels best!
Our team is here at the school board meeting urging @CCSD_Trustees and @SuptJaraCCSD to use American Rescue Plan funding to address student trauma and disrupted learning. We're pushing for more wraparound mental health services in schools and expanded educational programs
Thank you to all the community members, community organization and legislators that joined us for our #EndCashBail and #CJReform rally at the #NVleg. Together we will create a truly just system that will work for all of us.
Proud and honored to fight with this amazing human to #EndCashBail and for #CriminalJusticeReform! Ready to fight with her today, tomorrow and as long it take to create a just system for all.
Mass liberation leader Leslie speaking with our community on #EndCashBail and #CJReform! We are proud of all the work her and her comrades put into this lobby day at the #NVleg. We know she will continue to fight for our freedom in NV
Mass Liberation is at the #NVleg building bringing awareness to cash bail and other #CriminalJusticeReform issues and encouraging legislators to vote for a just system for all regardless of race, income, or any other circumstances! #EndCashBail
"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its' warmth." I do this work to keep our children from burning and hurting. We do not have bad children, only babies looking for love and to survive. I do this so every one can have a happy, successful life.
Thank you at @weshall217 for sharing your wisdom and expertise with @CityOfLasVegas and our partners across Nevada. To all of our advocates , we ask what MR. Hall asks, why do you do this every day? Who are you? #LVMBK#schoolsnotprisons#allkids
While fees are on the books, we are happy to hear many different individuals from the #juvenilejustice system talk about how it is common practice to waive fees for children & families in #Nevada. We are also proud that the JJOC is open to building on this practice. @BerkeleyLaw
Across the nation communities are looking at juvenile fees and pushing to eliminate fees for juveniles held in detention centers. What are the thoughts of doing this in #Nevada? #juvenilejustice#justicereform#detention
"Funding more might not solve all of our education problems, but funding less will for sure make some worse." #UNLVEdSummit Increased funding is a solution for some large issues in our state so let's fix our funding formula. #nvleg#NVEd
Glad that Dr. Song discussed the detrimental impact of Zero Tolerance Policies on students and schools and how they aren't solutions for school safety.
#UNLVEdSummit
All means ALL! All means including Nevada's #ECE students & providing them with access to rich and rigorous education and a quality teacher. Right now of 36.7% of 3&4 yr Olds in #prek, only 12% are in state prek, special Ed or head start. #NVEd has some work to do #UNLVEdSummit
@EDE4CCSD Excellence Through Equity Summitt: If you want to change the results, you have to change the system! Yes! Let's change then system and break down barriers. #Education#system
Public Defender Phil Kohn said it's troubling that the Clark County Detention Center has room for 4,400 inmates, but there are only 125 slots for mental health diversion court. His office has 40 clients waiting for a slot to open up, sitting in jail and "decomposing" there
@tsegerblom says the next step 4 marijuana is 2 address past marijuana charges! Right now u have 2 pay hundreds of 💵 2 clear your record, but the DA should just wipe it! Unfortunately, @TheDA_Wolfson refused 2 do that. @LangfordforDa says he would figure it out #PowerofJustice
