@NateSilver538 You realize that the desire to move away from those tests is more about what they do to funding/learning in k-12 schools than about admissions to these 8 schools right? And that equity looks more like funding public college for all than representation at these 8 schools, right?

organized

@marty_walsh This is racist. Stop for a second and ask WHY these neighborhoods have high rates before jumping to blaming the people who live there. Access to PPE, the privilege to BE ABLE to work from home... these are factors you're not considering, and instead just blaming people.

Bolivia's MAS release their proposal for helping those on low incomes during quarantine:

1. Food parcels
2. Ban on firing workers & cutting salaries
3. State covers rents of poorest
4. Brigades to help the disabled
5. Homeless shelters, food halls & doctors for homeless

The Chapare (Cochabamba Tropics) in #Bolivia is complying with gov't quarantine restrictions, although the Añez administration claims they are not and has threatened martial law. They have consistently stigmatized & demonized residents of this #coca growing region since the coup.

[AndeanInfoNet @AndeanInfoNet]

Now the #Bolivian police force claims the man they arrested for posting a video about a potential #COVID case has connections to terrorism. It's unravelling fast here during the state of emergency. So much for freedom of expression, due process.....

On a large google hangout call: thought I muted myself to fart, then saw that I actually didn't. #socialdistancingfail

@T_nels I'm for democratic socialism – no one should have that much money, but since he has it, he should give it to mutual aid efforts!

https://t.co/hWTiPpZ4cs So... $500m for your own, self-centered campaign, but only $40m for a pandemic? You can do better buddy! #bloomberg

Now that we all have to exist as people online a lot more, I wonder if digital spaces will become, like, better? Nah, too optimistic. Carry on, trolls. #COVIDー19

ALERT: The Bolivian regime has just arrested the cameraman working for @RadiotvSisa. Rene Huarachi recorded the images today of children being tear gassed in Senkata #DictaduraEnBolivia

[AndeanInfoNet @AndeanInfoNet]

Añez et al claim Morales fueled drug trafficking & that Chapare region is filled w/narcoterrorists. Yet, MAS gov't purchased & installed a high-tech radar system to control #Bolivia's airspace & limit drug flights. Scheduled to begin operation in Nov. So, Añez what's up w/that??

[AndeanInfoNet @AndeanInfoNet]

Really tired of the mainstream U.S. press calling Añez a "caretaker president." Glosses over the attacks on #Bolivian & international human rights defenders & journalists, gross human rights violations, arbitrary politically-motivated detentions, militarization. Call them on it.

@exxonmobil What you did yesterday put us into a climate crisis today, and puts our existence tomorrow in jeopardy. You need to be held accountable for your crimes against humanity. https://t.co/ZqJTEhLvpT
