.@AOC talking about being a sexual assault survivor—i think previously unknown widely—and how being "asked to move on" without justice being served is essentially telling a rape victim to put up and shut up. On @instagram Live
those are my words, but that's what she is saying.
She says she was getting texts a week prior that she "needed to be careful" and particularly about 1/6
she says she was getting those texts from other members of Congress...
I had to step away from IGL, but here's a summary thread:
If you are weeks late to coming to this story—even if you advance it and stamp it with the Times gravitas—you really need to credit those who broke it.
there are still a few conservative news sources that haven’t gone full MAGA/Q/cult of Trump, and @amconmag is one and all the more reason for @nytimes to properly credit them. Help create/support a healthy media/opinion ecosystem!
Somehow the NYT missed that people are not only pissed about the sloppy process by which school names were axed, or not, but that @SFUnified hasn't had one day of in person school, doesn't expect to, and BOARD DIDN'T EVEN DISCUSS ANY OF THAT
HERE is what people are really pissed about. Sure, have a (much more rigorous) debate about school names. But should that take priority over...reopening? Increasing access to remote learning for low income kids? Really? missionlocal.org/2021/01/the-sa…
Sloppy, craven process + utter failure to deliver for kids.
Sure, some names should go (Serra, for example). But is this the thing the @SFUnified board should be spending its time on when kids have not been in schools for almost a year?
There’s pitiful connectivity to online classes in a lot of communities. Improving THAT seems like a higher priority this year.
