I watch not what they say, but what they do.

Connie Chan shows up when the people of SF need her.
Congressional candidate said he thinks “Lurie has been okay” and reinforced his support for Bilal Mahmood, who voted in favor of every housing deregulation measure, and opposed Sup. Connie Chan’s attempts to protect tenants and small businesses.
Chakrabarti doubles down on support for Mahmood, Lurie - 48 hills
Congressional candidate, at odds with most of the local left, says Mahmood is a 'progressive' and says Lurie 'has been okay.'

February strikes are hard! But when nothing else is working, sometimes they're the only way to get what you and your students deserve.

Did you know #tdih 1968, 28 students were injured and three killed (one a HS student) — most shot in the back by state police while involved in a peaceful protest in Orangeburg, SC? 💔 🧵

How do white people delude themselves into believing that they can identify anti-Black racism better than a Black person? Enough to refute the validity of a Black person’s claim of anti-Black racism??? Like…how does one get to that level of ability to lie to themselves?

just like israel in gaza
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Once you get beyond the highly rejective colleges that enroll about 8% of first-year students, however, things start to look very different. URM enrollment increases almost everywhere.

Both the number and the percentage of underrepresented students of color significantly declined at highly selective institutions and even more sharply at Ivy Plus schools. The largest declines were among Black students. Even here, however, results were not uniform.
