They’ve already raised $86k!! 🙌

If other businesses follow suit, and this spreads, it would be send a powerful message about where the *People’s* hearts lie.❤️

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

IMHO when the government shuts down NOBODY gets paid. NOBODY! Why should Congress and the Cabinet get paid while everyone else gets shafted?

Make them all sweat out a shutdown with us!!

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.

#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.

#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.

#PamBondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

From new Wired article about Alpha Schools: www.wired.com/story/ai-tea...
While parents are asked to consent to these surveillance programs, the school’s handbook says that there is “no expectation of privacy” on campus. If parents want to restrict recordings of their children outside of the school, they have to manually opt out of the “anywhere” option—as Jessica Lopez learned midway through her older daughter’s second year at Alpha. The girl says she remembers sitting on her bed one night working on schoolwork when she received a notification that she’d been flagged for an anti-pattern. She says Alpha’s system sent a video of her in her pajamas, taken from the computer’s webcam, that showed her talking to her younger sister.
