As a former HS principal and college professor I would feel obligated to advise my students to beyond the moral and ethical implications; think hard about what it will mean, going forward, to have ICE agent on your resume.

I want to say something about this brave security brother, whose name I don't know. He grabbed that MAGA attacker without knowing what was in that hypodermic needle; possibly placing himself at grave risk. #trulyappreciateyoubro

Of course, as a principal, you always hope and pray that your students will go on to do great things after leaving you, but even I must admit that I did not have “singing the National Anthem at a National Hockey League (NHL) game” on the list! 🥰 www.facebook.com/reel/4201090...

Re: Marcus Freeman; many are quick to judge the intentions of others; several of his players will be entering the NFL draft (including some who may go undrafted and still reach the NFL); why should he risk them getting injured in a game designed to fatten the pockets of a corrupt NCAA organization?

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social “Homeless Camp Removals”: If Adams sounds more compassionate than you, then that’s probably a messaging failure. I learned moving from teacher, to principal, to superintendent, that progressive sound bites don’t work— you must speak in problem-solving programmatic terms.

My profound thanks to Rev. Stephen A. Green and the Greater Allen AME for the honor of addressing their beautiful congregation in Jamaica, Queens this morning.

Interesting responses to my GOP budget question: "Why do poor, working and middle-class white Americans continue to support them?" Full disclosure: I worked in govt. in three GOP states in 10 years; am I to believe that white folks who need and receive food stamps don't know they need food stamps?

Man. What do we do against this.

Dems are saying to themselves and being told by others, that they need to "Speak to the needs of US working people" But this GOP budget and POTUS anti-working-class executive orders are clearly seeking to hurt the working-class and speaks to the greed of the already wealthy. Something's wrong here.
