How is it that when NY state has underfunded public schools it takes lawsuits + multiple years of organizing for the state to fully fund our schools (+ the fight continues)
But when Gov. Hochul calls for bag checks/the National Guard to be in the subway they appear hours later
New: Gov. Hochul announces that she is deploying 750 National Guard members into the NYC subways to conduct bag checks, in addition to another 250 law enforcement members. She is also proposing a bill to ban people convicted of a violent crime on the subway from public transit

@AOC
as a teacher,
@nycDSA
member and Bronx resident
The Congresswoman is a fighter for the Bronx + a student of the Bronx, knowledgeable about its past as she works to forge its future
We deserve high-quality early childhood education for all families, tuition-free public college for all students, and thriving post-graduate careers without the burden of student debt. We can win it when we fight for each other.
Vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on June 25th.

Every student should have access to an education that ensures they are literate, learning about our world, its history, its inequalities. Then practicing critical thinking + relevant skills so they’re meeting the urgent demand for problem solving + creativity + reform *today*

I often think about the cognitive dissonance it must take to be Mayor and perpetually cut from school + social services then send out press releases like everything is okay
I’m definitely convinced the ~8% could be found elsewhere in the budget??
New Yorkers confronted
@NYCMayor
about his budget cuts: why is he cutting ~8% from schools, CUNY, libraries, & social services, while funding NYPD overtime, misconduct, & robot dogs, & Dept. of Corrections abuse & mismanagement?

This is SO unfortunate for us that Biden is going to lose the election I’m sorry but what
Not even a “I commend the young people for trying to make their voices heard” he’s just like my answer is NO
Reporter: Have the protests forced you to reconsider any of the policies with regard to the region?
Biden: No
Apparently Biden is not swayed by the mass killing of children, international law, or an election as a growing number of Americans are appalled by his policies.
