The thing that Ivanka Trump was dreaming of finally happened: Marco Rubio will now be out as Florida senator to take up sec of state. I'm betting she gets that vacated senate seat. She will try to pretend she is "different" than her dad.

The attorney general's office said New Yorkers can report racist or hateful text messages from anonymous senders by calling 800-771-7755, emailing [email protected], or filing a complaint online.

Our executive slaves will come get you in a brown van. Be prepared to be searched down once you've enter the plantation. You are in plantation group W."

Not sure how teaching is supposed to go on like normal this week... I got asked by a student if we could cancel class tomorrow, I said no. "Better to muddle through together" I offered weakly.

@larafresko She gave a masterclass right there in that response.

[Forensic Architecture @ForensicArchi]

Israel has imposed a new system of spatial control on Gaza, destroying agricultural lands and buildings to create infrastructure that supports a long-term military presence, including roads, checkpoints and a 1 km-wide buffer zone.

Of course this country needs to apologize for boarding schools, but all the Native scholars I respect are pointing out that Biden doing this now is not the apology that Native communities deserve.

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

The last apology to Natives was in a 2011 defense appropriations bill. At the time, it was the largest spending on institutions of death. The second apology comes as Biden leads a genocide against Palestinians. Call me a single issue person because this is a single issue empire.

[Maliha safri @MalihaSaf]

Listening to Becoming Kin (on Spotify subscription for free) by Patty Krawec, (foreward by @nickwestes). It is the gift of clarity. I will use it in teaching for sure- succinct explanation of Dawes Allotment act, race, and Indigeneity amongst other strengths.

Today only all NYC donations b/w $10-$250 are matched 8x by the state.

Every politician says New York is the greatest city in the world. But what good is that if no one can afford to live here?

I'm running for Mayor to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers.

Join the fight. https://t.co/ooNzX0rccz
