SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.
watching this happen in real time and knowing it will go down as a deeply shameful moment in history for both columbia and new york city is just… surreal. my heart is with the students

Bus drivers refused to transport protestors from last night's Seder in the Streets to the precinct, forcing cops to drive the busses. Power and solidarity to the union bus drivers with @twu100 who refuse to collaborate with the NYPD, which commandeers MTA busses for mass arrests.
"Under arrest for trespassing" at their own goddamn school, sanctioned by their own goddamn school, that they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to attend, that is supposed to care for them.
These students are braver than any NYPD officer.

Everyone deserves to feel safe on their commutes. But militarizing the subways as we disinvest in housing, homeless services, and mental health care is not how we achieve safety. This misguided policy risks repeating the worst abuses of stop-and-frisk.
