Feels good to be back in the Bronx with my original students! This year, our classroom needs a little extra love. Your support can make a huge difference. Check out our wishlist and help us create a nurturing space! ๐๐

Iโm in so much pain... Iโm finally heading home to my son.. free the rest of the liberators that got locked up in the Bronx I canโt believe the nypd trapped us and beat us then detained. I will still fight I will go hell and high water for justice
Praise God you guys are amazing I met my goal Iโm literally crying on the floor with the snot lol but seriously understand that this moment has changed my son life for ever and we as community are going to do this work together ..
So umm
@potus
and
@USPS
how are people who are houseless supposed to receive these at-home covid tests when they have no actual address? did you guys think about that part? asking for the houseless community
New Yorkโs eviction moratorium expires in 3 days. Do you see how cold it is outside right now ? and no one has said anything ? all this watching and waiting but not a hint of action
Iโm not angry with the institution that employed me .. your kind words and networking has shown me I did a service to the community that is finally recognized and you support me trying to bring change to the system ...

No no I rather not .. that place is safe space for my children and thatโs what matters to me my students know and knew what comes with me a strong teacher I want them to use the skills I gave them to use they voice to advocate for more teachers like me
This time last year Juneteenth was just a hashtag...If you knew then you knew..1 year later and its a state holiday. I know it took over 150 yrs for this country to acknowledge a glimpse of US...and yes, it came at the expense of someone's life, but today (like every day)
I am overwhelmed, humbled, and encouraged by the outpour of support from the community over the past 24 hours. It is by no accident the intended amount of money I wanted to raise was surpassed. It speaks to the solidarity that we share in seeing radical change in education
I knew it was a matter of time ... so I didnโt get offer next year to teach at my school which means I will be jobless and itโs a scary thought cause I really enjoy teaching the youth

My God you guys are amazing for the support is genuinely real my son and I canโt thank you enough but I want to clarify some things that I wasnโtโ fired โ I wasnโt offered a teaching contract for next school year
50,000 Americans really voted for Kanye are ya fucking kidding me ya really took this as a joke like ya did in 2016.. And these dumbasses stood in line to do this bullshit
I want to thank everyone who retweeted the go fund me and the video of me on the news .. I have heard my calling and Iโm ready to get to work
#targetedblackmom
Just finish doing a public speaking in my community with rtg .... also know as release the grip a non violence org trying to find a way to end gun violence in out neigborhood

I donโt what I did to deserve all these abundant blessings I lost my grandmother three weeks ago a woman who was a sharecropper in the Jim Crow South it is only right that I just march in the same footsteps that she did and Iโm pretty sure she wouldโve been screaming at the tv
Let me just say this if you said the name Macyโs or target more than you said Breonna TAylor this week than you can very much Fuck off * oh excuse my language but still what you thought was gonna happen
I remember being trapped by the NYPD this summer during a peaceful protest, and they held us in a block until the 7 PM curfew only to attack us after Twitter doesn't let me post a video.
Nah this election is something else lol my ex just texted told me he just voted I let him know how that's good to hear then asks me if he can be another candidate in my life lord have mercy
DJ Khaled who has arguably the biggest mouth is silent. This is interesting. I canโt imagine myself being the only (to my knowledge) Palestinian celebrity in the music industry and being completely silent about what is going on back home.
Being a teacher now a days you have now prepare for active shooters in school or natural disasters and now you have to prepare to go back to the classroom while thereโs a deadly pandemic going on... I love my student s but itโs shouldnโt be a debate over politics and safety
@Blink8533
@JamaalBowmanNY
Hunny itโs been a pay cut for teachers we donโt make much and half it goes back in the classroom for materials and etc because the city always cuts the education budget first ... thanks for fact checking tho Lml be bless
And what about people who donโt have access to Internet to order these at home test did you all think about this cause I can only imagine the stress some may be go through especially the elderly
Random how could the mayor say thereโs affordable housing but yet I got or get denied for being a couple dollars off the income requirements which are outrageous
So my son has been waking up early since the early incidents this week to watch me get ready for work. I just need him not to worry; I will always protect you... The people will protect you
Teachers never stop caring for their students, even outside of the classroom. Today, I'm reaching out for support to ensure one of my students has food for tonight and tomorrow morning. Let's come together to ensure no student goes hungry.
I feel like I'm being tested by you, Lord. I'm trying to figure out what I've done for you to keep sending me men of this type. who asks if i ate then tells me make sure I eat
@cessadelove
Every time I have something on my mind or just need a little guidance, your tweets really do it for me. The fact that you tweeted this & I got that phone call last week. I'm so grateful for your tweets for keeping me going these last few days, weeks and months. Thank you!
I canโt believe that Iโm actually posting this but one of my family members is missing , he has been missing since Wednesday and we need your help to find him please boost and share
#MissingPerson
So Iโm heading to the store to exchange one of my son gifts, and I see my son father playing family with someone else ... now the old me maybe wouldโve reacted and made a scene
@RandallTelfer
@ajplus
Listen I will stand between a bullet & a student but I canโt stop
#COVID19
my students need to wear a mask in the classroom but honestly I still feel weโre not ready to open up the schools especially in NYC aka the former epicenter of the last year waves
#keepkidssafe
So you mean to tell me we waited 282 days for $600 fucking dollars? Honestly, I can break down and cry like, how is Congress ok with doing this to the people that voted for them? I donโt get it. How do we provide for our families?
52 years ago this week, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress.
Her historic election helped to pave the way for so many Black female candidates, including Kamala Harris, to follow her.

But big sis
@staceyabrams
was cheated out of becoming governor, and in two years, gave the Republican Party a good ass whipping and flipped the motherfucking senate. Black woman magic at it's finest
Having my last parent teacher conference with my student is beyond overwhelming and bittersweet they did so good this marking period
#proudblackeducator
My morning starts with making cereal bowls for my student's babies and making sure they return them. They are spoiled rotten I tell you but 37 more days till school ends.
#SayHerName
is trending b/c another Black woman called the police, thinking someone was breaking into her house. Add that to the list of things we can't do as Black people can't call the police for help, & now we can't even turn off a boiling pot of water without being murdered.
