@HannahMHines Girl math governs half my evenings. (And my kid’s hair!)

Amazing work by NYC public school parents: "they started helping wash migrant students’ laundry and successfully petitioned the education department to install laundry machines at the school itself."
Great story by @ByJessicaGould

Welcoming and supporting migrants is a foundational legacy of NYC. It doesn't destroy us; it makes us. 

Rather than rise to the moment, the Mayor is pleading poverty as an excuse to do less. New Yorkers won't fall for it.

Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits.

A bit concerning, don’t you think?

Week 256. We are currently shattering heat records all over the world. Last week we experienced the hottest days ever recorded, many days in a row. We are also experiencing record high sea level temperatures and record low ice levels. This is an emergency. #FridaysForFuture

Hi, all. I write jokes for TV, but not long ago I was a financial analyst. I had my Series 7.

For those who say Fran Drescher or any SAG-AFTRA member should stop whining and appreciate what they have, let me give you a lesson in capitalism. 🧵

"The fact that we have to override a veto is comprehensible to me," @NYCSpeakerAdams says of the council voting to override @NYCMayor's veto of their package of housing voucher bills

Total override count:
42 yay
8 nay

The council erupts in applause as the vote tally is shared

Registering my daughter for high school soccer tryouts and I get to this lovely little bit. Why would the UHSAA need this information? What does this have to do with her playing soccer?? What the hell?

This little boy found an older skater to hold his hand as he attempted a trick. And when he landed it, he had the sweetest reaction 😭

Impossible for me not to express my rage today at so many progressives who “couldn’t get excited” or didn’t show up in 2016. You were blind to the fundamental rights that were at stake. The most vulnerable citizens will pay the price of your fucking privilege. Vote.
