PHILLY DA Larry Krasner warns ICE agents in wake of the Minneapolis shooting: "If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is gonna come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here."
"I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted."
"Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?"
"There are honest, decent moral law enforcement officers out there by the bushel, including in ICE. This is not for you. This is for any one of your colleagues who thinks they are above the law."
I teach at a south side public school and I’m always hustling to get more for our students. We need computers for an awesome program I got a grant for. If you can help out donate here! It goes directly to buying the equipment through the site tinyurl.com/4p68f4pk

ICE arrest Virginia man in courthouse raid—right after judge dismissed case against him.
'Agents' had no badges, refused to show warrant, then put him in unmarked van.
"Do not touch me or impede me in my lawful duty," the 'agent' in pink shirt—who seems to be in charge—can be heard saying. "That is a crime for you to do so. Do you understand?"
"It is highly alarming that ICE would show up to court and detain persons whose charges were dismissed without identifying themselves," said his public defender in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Where the man has been taken and what charges he faces have still not been disclosed.

10 years after hunger strikers saved Dyett High School, the boys basketball team has won the state championship title.
Beyond its sports success, the school is thriving: “This school saves a lot of lives." buff.ly/8hTvkvI
This is what having an elected school board is all about. It’s already paying off. This is so important. The person running a school district should be an educator. chicago.suntimes.com/educati…
Thank you @CTULocal1 and all those that fought for a democratically elected board. And while we’re at it people who run transit systems, enviro agencies, finance regulation, immigration, etc. should be experts in their fields. Our society should not be run by businessmen.

V confusing negotiation. CEO says we're close. Today CPS had proposals that moved the table ahead. We went to caucus to draft counter proposal. CPS left. We are still here. They are not. We don't know how we finish this w/o the other side. It's collective bargaining.
the really incredible thing here is i’ve never seen an incumbent polling with ELEVEN PERCENT lollllll 🤪

Today, we had 300 socialists out to canvass for Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York, and it’s five months from Election Day. People are frustrated with the nihilism of the Democratic Party and are demanding a real answer to Trump’s fascism. This is the DSA difference.

Today marks the announcement of SUMMER ETERNAL,
"a cultural megaproject, a RPG with complexity and ambition worthy to rival our wretched and wonderful world."
The studio takes the form of a creative co-op, made up of several ex ZA/UM employees.
