@Derrick_NYC Thank you. Unfortunately, it seems that since fares have gone up there is less bus and subway service. I waited 20 min for a subway last night during rush hour. Very frustrating and upsetting.
Breaking: The Department of Education just launched a public dashboard showing just how much foreign funding is being injected into American universities.
Unsurprisingly, Qatar is in first place with a whopping $6.6 billion. But let's dig deeper into the data, shall we? 🧵
@Helen4NY@EYakoby 3. “It would be impossible to accuse the Jewish people of the Muslim victory..... Except for the propaganda being sent”. Sooo..maybe it’s just that you’re antisemitic
@Helen4NY@EYakoby 2.”That means about 7million Christians didn't vote at all... and around 300,000 are Jewish voters... And about 1 million Muslims also voted... Let's put things perspective: around 2 million people voted in New York...
@Helen4NY@EYakoby Mult parts 1Someone posted this vile post on FB and another person responded - “Let's say 55%, even though it's a lie, voted for Mamdani... And 9million people live in the 5 boroughs of New York and out of 9million, 980,000 are Jewish( including babies, children, young adults)..”
@LJ198767@esanzi@mattyglesias How many years ago? ALL teachers get to vote or just delegates ? Do teachers get to decide when it’s time for an election or we have to just wait for her to resign?!?
@LJ198767@esanzi@mattyglesias When do teachers get to vote?!? I don’t recall ever being given a choice. And the president of AFT is a position without term limits! I assure you MANY teachers are disheartened and disgusted with what our union has turned into.
@C_3C_3 Anyone else wondering how she has time to write a book? I’d directly comment on her post, but of course, she blocks comments. Very democratic of her.
Good news: Wikipedia is finally facing serious scrutiny
Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney in Washington, has sent a major letter to the Wikimedia Foundation, warning that it "is engaging in a series of activities that could violate its obligations" under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.
The letter accuses Wikipedia of "allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public," including the "rewriting of key, historical events".
Martin also criticizes Wikipedia for undermining its educational mission by masking propaganda as neutral information and demands accountability for how Wikimedia handles foreign influence, editor misconduct, bias, and the distribution of its data to AI companies.
The Foundation must respond by May 15, 2025. Wikibias is on the watch!
What’s up with @uber quoting one price and then charging another upon trip completion. There were no unexpected tolls or time, just a surprise additional charges ($25 extra). Not the first time, not ok.
