I'm attending Michelle for Mayor's event, βWest Roxbury Canvass with Mayor Wu!β with my daughter. @mayorwu.boston.gov #bostonteachersunion #wutrain www.mobilize.us/michelleforb...
Oh my god! Well, thankfully he didnβt!!! I am so dramatic like that too - love this story!
I have heard that about this, but I donβt think thatβs the case here.
If it wasnβt for themβ¦
Yeah, itβs just a total lack of accountability because #cityofboston is not communicating, but at least the #bostonteachersunion reps are on it.
@wcvb5.bsky.social Thank you for your coverage of this. www.wcvb.com/article/bost...
#Boston #teacher - still not paid! My husband and I are both #bostonteachersunion #educators and the @boston.gov is still not apologizing or updating. What happened, @mayorwu.boston.gov ? What happened @bostonglobe.com ? @bostonherald.bsky.social and @wcvb5.bsky.social reported #sigh #momofthree
They deserve much much more than an essay in a magazine. It was a tough one to write, as it could never be perfect, but @currentaffairs.bsky.social has the best editors that guided me through.
Thank you for reading my narrative. I truly appreciate it.
Screenshot of a post from Josh Kraft on X.com that says: Mayor Wu is so disconnected from the challenges facing the families and kids Iβve served in the Boys and Girls Clubs for the past 35 yrs she thinks itβs ok to spend $10K for an entourage to travel to DC on top of $650K in taxpayer money for prep. Marie Antoinette would be proud.
I was proud to stand up for our city in DC & able to do so effectively bc of the hardworking team who made the trip. Donβt have a private jet to transport everyone, but that also means there are no Qs about whether my family & I are profiting off Trumpβs mass deportation policies.

Thank you so much for this comment, @nlnethery.bsky.social . It was very difficult emotionally to write, and I appreciate each person who is taking the time to digest it.
Teaching in a βSanctuary Cityβ Under Siege
My high school students are targets in Trumpβs cruel deportation spree. It canβt be allowed to continue.

Teaching in a βSanctuary Cityβ Under Siege www.currentaffairs.org/news/teachin...
When fear lives in our heads 24 hours a day, who do we become really? What will public libraries, parks, and city sidewalks become when people must conceal their identities rather than risk exposing themselves to danger? www.currentaffairs.org/news/teachin...
If immigrants must conceal themselves and hide in the shadows, essentially becoming non-people, what else will the rest of us need to conceal in the future? www.currentaffairs.org/news/teachin...
@mkmurray9.bsky.social Thank you so much for reading and sharing; when my writing resonates with fellow educators, it means a lot because I always strive to represent us truthfully.
Excellent piece! You're doing such important work β making space for kids to say what's on their minds and letting them know you'll be there for them.
Like a proper American should. IMO! :)
Thank you so much. My colleagues and love teaching these students. π
Thank you so much for reading and sharing, Eileen. I truly appreciate it.

Honoring this well written, evenly reasoned, and deeply humane accounting from Boston school teacher @jenniferdines.bsky.social - grateful for such meaningful and important insights.
Thank you so much @lobsternanny.bsky.social for sharing my essay here. I so appreciate your readership as it is a validation of our narratives and helps teachers and students to be seen and heard. I appreciate you.
