Nobody in this life works harder than public school cafeteria ladies 🥺 it sucks knowing they aren’t compensated NEARLY enough and they are the ones literally keeping kids from starving during this pandemic
LUNCH IS SERVED! SSAISD students received free nutritious meals Monday as they observe an extended Spring Break. The district is offering drive-through breakfast and lunch at Five Palms ES, Kindred, Palo Alto and Carrillo. Breakfast is served at 7:30am and lunch at 11:00am.

44% OF FAMILIES DETAINED BY ICE ARE HAITIAN. I have personally witnessed Haitian women get negative CFI results for claims that have been accepted for women of other nationalities/women who aren’t Black.
44% of the families locked up in ICE detention right now are Haitian.

There is a special place in hell for the Mexican-American border patrol agents
Border agents have thrown out 3586 jugs of water left for migrants in the desert.
They did this knowing that 7000 migrants have died attempting to cross.
THIS is why the death of Jackeline Caal, the 7yo migrant who died of thirst in US custody, should be referred to as murder.

Don’t ever wanna hear non-Black Latinx ppl saying Black ppl don’t “do anything” about immigration struggles, as if it’s not all rooted in anti-Blackness. Black women HAVE ALWAYS put their lives on the line for our collective liberation.
We are the ones that don’t do enough.
Therese Okoumou, the woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty on July 4 to protest family separations at the border, was sentenced to 5 years of probation and 200 hours of community service for trespassing and disorderly conduct.

I understand the sentiment but is the ageism really necessary? Remember what this implies for the elders in our own communities as well. There is a place for all of us in the movement to get free, and it MUST be intergenerational.
we should force politicians to retire at 65. It’s absolutely no reason someone born in the 1940s should be making decisions for us

All Stanford alumni should be embarrassed by this. How can y’all even type this out when you have yet to “unequivocally condemn” the actual, ongoing genocide of Palestinians? When will you listen to your own Jewish students saying that anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism?
In the context of the national discourse, Stanford unequivocally condemns calls for the genocide of Jews or any peoples. That statement would clearly violate Stanford’s Fundamental Standard, the code of conduct for all students at the university.

The concept of “free speech” that conservatives and law profs love can only exist in a world that doesn’t silence and kill Palestinians for speaking their truth. Until then, we will not sit quietly while someone whose rhetoric is fueling a genocide speaks at our university.
Students at the University of Texas protest against Bari Weiss during her lecture at the university. This comes after the martyr Refaat Alareer held her responsible for his killing.
Refaat Alareer, the Palestinian poet and writer, was assassinated by the IOF in Gaza yesterday.

Learning stuff like this about my peers was always grounding for me when I felt like I just wasn’t measuring up. It doesn’t take away from their accomplishments. It just helped me put theirs and mine in the correct perspective. I always appreciated peers who were transparent!
not to take away from the great work at all, but the college student whose reporting led to the resignation of Stanford’s prez is the child of reporters from the NYT and New Yorker.
