@leoniehaimson@NYCSchools@Sheppard4NYC@DrKYSR @MzGibson Literally no school uses textbooks anymore. More progressive schools advertise the LACK of textbooks. This money can be spent for other things like fixing buildings or hiring more teachers or hiring more counselors. ANYTHING.
@NYCMayorsOffice so 90,000 students have to use a glitchy and slow website to search and apply for high schools. The website sucks. We’re struggling here to apply to search and apply for high schools. This is not a low stakes decision. @NYCMayor@educatorsofnyc
Ever wonder how white supremacists stopped Black voting during Reconstruction? In this century, thanks to Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s “election security force,” it’s on video:
@Lucy2300090 @TravisLC1968 @RepCori@POTUS Just to make it clear: any actions that come with student loan forgiveness MUST come with some sensible plan to make universities affordable with community colleges as free options. Otherwise the problem with keep existing. And yes centrists dems are dangling forgiveness too.
@donaldlee @TravisLC1968 @RepCori@POTUS States that don’t have unions have the lowest paid teachers. Look at Florida. This isn’t isolated to teaching though. Because minimum wage is so low in US all fields are underpaid.
@TravisLC1968 @Motherclucker56@Darcman@RepCori@POTUS It’s communism to want education accessible to all regardless of income? It’s communism to want an intelligent country?
@Motherclucker56@Darcman @TravisLC1968 @RepCori@POTUS Don’t you want an intelligent country? Guess not. People like you are never able to think critically or beyond themselves. That’s why our country is going to shit. Thankfully you’re on the wrong side of history.
@chomodomo @TravisLC1968 @RepCori@POTUS Yes. It is hard. Because you didn’t just choose a college, that college also had to accept you. And, in USA there is a hierarchy of colleges which impact where you get hired. Plus, I went to a state school, there are costs other than tuition to factor.
@TravisLC1968 @RepCori@POTUS Because current salaries don’t reflect actual costs of living. I’ve been teaching since I graduated undergrad and absolutely cannot pay rent, food, transportation, AND student loans. And I work in a state that pays teachers better than average.
@RezaC1@SandyforCouncil@JabariBrisport all CEOs do is profit off peoples labor. All landlords do is profit off stolen land. Sex workers actually do work and profit off of their own labor.
It’s my pleasure to endorse @JabariBrisport! Jabari and I believe in and fight for some wildly “radical” things like:
-Universal childcare
-Healthcare for all
-Public renewable energy
-Good Cause Eviction
-Thriving wages for workers
🗳 Vote Jabari by 8/23!
@HummusCrow @GarrettReuscher I understand you have good intentions but this plan is very naive to how getting and keeping a job actually works. 1) a person without employment for an extended period of time will have difficulty finding even a minimum wage job 2) people need permanent housing to get paid 3)etc
@BurckNate@marie_persinger @nocontextcarmel @davenewworld_2 Does larger wound cavity sound good to you. Does larger wound cavity sound like something we need in a functioning society?
