That's great to hear. And probably I shouldn't have been so grouchy about them. I understand there are some great people there & they might in many cases be dealing with less awesome people above them.

Anyway, your piece is terrific!

This @galvinalmanza.bsky.social piece is brilliant. While highlighting criminal justice implications, it reminds me of @hoffprof.bsky.social 's work on the link between transportation and eviction.

This is a fantastic article! Thank you for it!!

Tbh it is the only good @nytimes.com piece I've seen on any @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social initiative.

So glad you gave them a piece so good they couldn't refuse.

True but for those readers who may not have the context, describing him as sleeping with people could obscure the depth of the problem

More than sleeping with people, right? I believe multiple assault accusations have been reported

There are a lot of good lists out there. This is from someone who I trust to know who is who on the ground and how to best get resources where they need to go.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

Today, Andrew Anastasi and @benchansfield.bsky.social discuss the wave of landlord-perpetrated arson during the 1970s, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.

i appreciate the support & know it comes from a good place, but i really would like you to find another streaming service.

I'd ask myself: reasonable for which goals? To give students a solid foundation in the subject, to expose students to a variety of perspectives, to ensure students feel truly free and encouraged to think hard and critique the reading? Only the last seems potentially challenging to me.
