This morning in Astoria — alongside State Senate Education Chair John Liu, City Council Education Chair Rita Joseph, and UFT VP Mary Vacaro — we released “Community to Classroom,” a new citywide teacher recruitment initiative.

Trump thinks it's outrageous that "a little argument between a man and wife shouldn't be against the law". AND they're trying to repeal the "no fault" divorce laws that have saved countless women and children since January 1, 1970 by allowing them to escape abuse.

MAGA MIKE doesn't think beating a woman isn't serious enough to talk about? This who they are. #BelieveTheVictims #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinHomanFiles

Yep. Exactly!

Basically what little Mikey is saying is that women are 2nd class citizens. Any crimes committed against women, like those in the trump-Epstein Files, take a backseat to anything Mikey & the maga klan deem more important. Disgusting diminutive creep.

If you had the pro-Hamas wing of the Hate America DemoCRAT Party about to launch a full-on invasion of the country you serve and hold so dear than it's perfectly appropriate to overlook your responsibilities as Speaker to serve your One True Master (while he's golfing of course)

An accusation of beating a WOMAN is 'not serious'?!

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Yes. They are damned and they know they will face prosecution if democracy holds strong.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

No person of color is surprised by this.

We've all overhead things like this we weren't supposed to. At work, school, social situations.

I'd like to share a brilliant example of the asymmetrical warfare that has achieved astonishing results for Ukraine: about $12 billion destroyed Russian equipment.

Pavlo "Lasar" Yelizarov used to be a TV-show producer before the full-scale invasion. In February 2022, he started defending Ukraine.
