It takes a special kind of somebody to shill for vouchers, charters, and defunding of public education, then claim that biggest danger to kids is "discipline reform" i.e. reducing school suspensions. And yet @Phillydotcom gives this guy the bandwidth: philly.com/philly/opinion… 1/
I'm mom to 3 #PhlEd kids, former teacher and as a Councilmember fully support call to end K-5 suspensions. They're a result of poor practices & lack of resources/supports for kids. Thx to @edlawcenterpa @YUCphilly @215studentunion for leading that call. 2/

I wasn't much older than my daughter is today when the Anita Hill hearings went on TV. I remember them vividly because shortly after in my first job, I had a copy editor anonymously call me for months saying the most sickening things, promising to rape me and so on. 1/
I was shocked when the police finally tracked down the calls. The detective couldn't have been kinder when he broke the news that the calls came from my own newsroom but they didn't know who yet. He said he was worried about me and that I should be careful. 2/
So I went to the newsroom for weeks not telling anyone but wondering who it could be, even though I had to stay until late at night waiting to be copy edited by the same sicko who would call me a few hours later. 3/

.@waltshaub has been great on Twitter but he couldn’t be more wrong in mistaking a hashtag from a substantive argument. #AbolishICE is a clear and necessary phrase for an agency that has gone largely rogue.
As a community organizer and now as a City Councilmember, many of us called for #AbolishICE in mid-2000s when we dealt with T. Don Hutto and the abusive deportation of a pregnant Philly Chinese businesswoman who miscarried twin fetuses after a violent deportation attempt.
ICE was awful under Obama too and DHS Head Jeh Johnson was unforgiving when we met with him to state that we would not back away from our Sanctuary City status.
