A team of data analysts has found the presence of Black primary care docs in a county, even a single one, means Black residents in that county live longer. Even veteran researchers call the finding stunning https://t.co/gt4pIe11Dt

Here is an incredibly detailed thread on all the ways that using mandated reporting to target trans kids is unethical:

"According to the Labor Department, 30,000 teachers resigned in September 2021 alone, and since January 2021, the educational services industry has seen the largest increase in the number of workers quitting."

We also have to note:

The only people the judge released to seek or continue treatment this week were white.

All of the people of color who appeared before Judge Treseler in jail court were detained & held in jail at least overnight. Some are still in jail in other counties.

7 water bubblers for 1,800 students and 100+ staff at Latin Academy and 6 of 7 are completely empty and the 7th only has 1/8th remaining.

This is DAY 3 of no water at BLA! What are we DOING @BostonSchools!? @BCassellius

@Anna__Wh1te @BostonSchools @BostonLatinAcad @HealthyBoston We were initially told that masks were required, but right before the ceremony, there was an announcement that the department of public health had determined that mask wearing was optional for outdoor graduation.

Important reporting from @YawuMiller on 20 years of @BostonSchools disruption. @themrvalenzuela shows 70% of schools closed, moved, merged, or reconfigured and more this year. This BPS parent asks: When does this end? When will schools get stability? https://t.co/Dkj7GjHm3x

[Mr. V @themrvalenzuela]

I did a little research on BPS. Since I was a senior in HS ('02) the District has closed, merged, moved, or reconfigured grade spans (what I will generally call "disruption") SEVENTY PERCENT of schools! Only 30% of schools from 2002 remain in the same location and unchanged.

[Crip Camp Film @CripCampFilm]

While our film didn’t win Best Documentary Feature, we are proud of the momentum that Crip Camp has created for a push towards disability inclusion. From tonight’s historic accessible stage to the broadcast’s innovative captioning, it’s clear disability inclusion is here to stay.

[Hanif Abdurraqib @NifMuhammad]

next time a mayor, police chief, councilperson, or anyone in power calls for "calm" or "peace" in the face of another state murder, I'd love for someone in the room to force that person to make their argument for why "calm" is acceptable. Make them be clear on who it serves.

[Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings]

The GOP’s attacks against transgender children are cruel and despicable.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Adam Toledo was 13 years old and had his hands in the air and police killed him.

The prosecution said that he had a gun in his hand. He did not.

How many more Black and brown babies have to die before you realize that the policing system is designed to kill us with impunity?

[Quest @Quality1st4BPS]

QUEST today released an analysis of private fundraising and grants across 125 @BostonSchools.

The data from a 2018 audit reveal large gaps between individual schools’ fundraising efforts and abilities.

If you want to understand how white Supremacy works,

135 white people just rigged an election in broad daylight and they arrested a Black woman for knocking on the door to watch
