    In September 2023, the president instructed eight federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Education, to clarify in writing that Title VI of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibited antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of discrimination in federally funded

    This is in my district. I went to the site. This construction debris was left near a construction site on Ave X in Gravesend. Could be evidence of a developer breaking law since phase 1 hasn’t begun, but there was no evidence of organized looting on X last night that I’m aware of

    This is what our cops are up against: Organized looters, strategically placing caches of bricks & rocks at locations throughout NYC.

    Lincoln HS in Coney Island this morning. Mostly staff and almost no one getting vaccinated. Irony is the city’s website says no appointments are available for my constituents today, but no one is there & they’re sitting on vaccine supply. This is unacceptable @nycHealthy !

    The mayor speaks as if he’s not in charge of the city. As if he’s a bystander. This is not a police-run city. NYPD reports to him. That’s how it works. What is becoming more clear is that not only is he losing control over the police but he’s losing control of the city altogether

    I’m old enough to remember when 70K Manhattan residents lost power for 5hrs in July 2019 outage, which was national breaking news. Over 200K outer-borough residents are w/out power in a pandemic & are told it will take days to restore. Hope things are well in Manhattan & Hamptons

    Only thing worse than submitting a failing school reopening proposal to NYS is knowingly submitting a failing proposal. I know what they privately know. NYC doesn’t have enough $ & time to safely operationalize plans. Difference is I’m willing to admit it to keep kids/staff safe.

    Receiving many reports of vaccinated educators either testing positive or not being able to get tested due to long lines. NYC should have never stopped offering tests for staff at schools. Situation Room is overwhelmed w/cases & school leaders growingly concerned about staffing.

    Message from a NYC principal: “Our custodians have been diluting the soap with water because there isn’t enough. It barely makes bubbles. Most cleaning supplies are bought by teachers/paras & with limited supply now in stores it’s harder to supply their classrooms & their homes”

    Amazing how fast the government can ensure every child will have a standardized test to take this spring with no delivery issues expected, but couldn’t support states and cities with adequate COVID testing capacity, vaccines, and tech/internet for all kids who need it.

    How twisted can the city administration be in arresting essential workers at 8pm after encouraging New Yorkers to clap for them at 7pm?

    Common concern I’m hearing from principals about lack of a remote option: if a child has to quarantine at home for 10 days, then what will instruction look like and who will be responsible for it? Last year kids in quarantine could log onto remote classes.

    Another painful school story: “We have a senior in our HS and before pandemic... his GPA was a 3.6. But now, at home, his GPA is a 2.1. That's because he has several people living in only two rooms, anxiety, insufficient tech access, and there is no quiet space for him to study.”

    Hasan has referred to Orthodox Jews as “inbred.” He has referred to Jews as “bloodthirsty pig dogs” He claimed “it doesn’t matter if rape happened on October 7th” This is shameful, hateful, and disgraceful.
