Presidents Report
The Delegate Assembly began with a tribute and a moment of silence for a chapter leader who had passed away. President Michael Mulgrew then welcomes new people and then thanked the district reps.
He started the regular part of the report by saying there is no stability in the school system. Talked about blended learning from last year, remote parent teachers that is being done this year. 2,200 operational complaints resolved. 2,030 resolved. No contract for a pandemic. We negotiate and end up yelling back and forth with DOE. We don't care about reports they have to produce. If it doesn't make a difference to children, it doesn't make a difference to us. This is not covered as we were hired under a certain set of conditions but we are doing jobs for which we were not hired for. We are making new agreements because the circumstances are constantly changing. Changes not good for us or the children. It is stress on top of stress but we are stuck in a pandemic and we are stuck until we get out of it. We are thel largest system with a flimsy management system. This is uber stress on everyone right now. Answers change because of new conditions which lead to new setups. We are beyond flexible. Tell me another profession that no matter how much you plan, it will not turn out that way. We got into this profession to teach children, to counsel children and to make a school run. I hope and pray that by the end of the month we can set up a normal school system. This month we are not going to be there. Trying to set it up for all of you. Main focus for this year is to figure out how to relieve as much stress as we can but we know it is going to be a very stressful, tough year. Waiting for January. We are at the end of an administration. I am happy we have pre-k. We achieved that under this administration. Have we achieved goal that DOE is to help schools, not make them accountable? We have not achieved that. New challenges with a new administration. How do we pull the stress away from our members? We are not supposed to change rules constantly and we went to the State Department of Health over how to measure 3-feet. What is instructional lunch? We had a year without observations so people don't have two observations so they have to get a formal observation. That is the job. All of you volunteered and were elected. We need to stay together. As a chapter leader, other chapter leaders were support system. Job to make others' jobs better. If you chose this job in the middle of a pandemic, you are dedicated.
This will be a long report.
Agreement on partial closings. Since we believe that it will be very hard to have a classroom closure in the elementary schools. When you are told to supply instruction remotely, that is when the partial closing piece kicks in.
COVID protocols: what was put forth in City Council hearing last week is true. Only the Department of Health can change COVID protocols in NYC. Principal is responsible for saying who had close contact with someone who is positive. Some said it was everyone. Situation Room calling principals and telling the to do what's right. Can only close a school if there is an investigation saying it closed because of COVID spread in the school but Department is not doing investigations. Three-feet is now from center of desk to center of desk so classrooms are crowded up to 55. Guess that parents want schools open. Did they ask if people want to stay open if there was COVID in schools? Someone wants higher office. Numbers dropped dramatically in NYC in the last three weeks. Very low percentages. We know all are vaccinated but teachers take great pride in keeping students safe. We are going to the State Department of Health. It is probably going to get work. Who is the next Chancellor? Who keeps their job? It's Lord of the Flies over there. We did not want to put four or five classes in an auditorium. Rolled things over from last year. Negotiating redeployment. Constant challenge as we go to the end of this administration. Numbers are down, great
Politics
Most people don't like politics
Nationally, we are looking at the big package. Infrastructure: we want an infrastructure package. We want schools built with zero consumption. Rich Mantell thanked. On a meeting with Senator Schumer. Ventilation problems for years as we are not under OSHA but we were able to fix ventilation problems in three months. We need a big infusion of cash. NLRB ruled against us previous four years but we are hoping for a better outcome now.
Albany
Primary for governor chosen by Democratic party in February before primary in June. Had dinner with Governor Hochul. She has been good on putting some uniformity in place. There will be plenty of other candidates.
Legislation to lower class sizes. Going after it through City Council legislation. We need to deal with real estate development and seats. Where they build housing is important in terms of seats for schools. 240 school seats for 6,000 units of housing at Hudson Yards. City Hall trying to block this. General elections in NYC. We have endorsements. We give mayors open arms. As chapter leader, it worked out twice and once it did not. We are happy we have a Bronx Plan. We need a partner to help us with Tweed Courthouse. Do we want a partner? Up to this Delegation but wouldn't recommend it.
Medicare Advantage Plus
In-service health plan coming up. We have a healthcare crisis in this union. Fight to keep what we have and expand it. Kick relatives who say we have free healthcare. The entire MLC does healthcare together. Medicare Advantage is usually a bad thing but we are not recommending Joe Namath's Medicare Advantage. He was a great quarterback. We knew we were looking at major premiums for our retiree healthcare. It is used against us. Unions can't talk about wages because there's been a 10% increase on premiums. Hospitals ripping us off. We're in a medical crisis. Nobody considers costs. $500 to take someone's temperature. Hospitalization costs keep going up. The entire workforce of NYC formed our own Advantage plus plan. In three years, people will all like it. Keep writing as that friction keeps the system going in a bitter place just like with the operational complaints.
SBO deadline
SBO deadline October 15. We extended last year; should we extend this year? When school comes to us, we say yes if it is outside. We want let people work for less money. Who wants SBO process to remain open? Many said yes, some didn't care and one voted no. SBO is our process. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Make a deal if they come up with something you don't like.
Observations
You need a formal and informal observation because nobody had a rating two years ago. Don't be afraid of observations. Some schools are supportive, some use it poorly. We have way too much on our plate to tackle making observations supportive. . We are negotiating that it should be two informals. We will get information out on this tomorrow or Friday.
New hires
5,000 new hires. We are getting corrupted files from the DOE.
Instructional lunch
Kids eat lunch in the classroom. Anything that you are doing under new agreements you must know codes have not been created. Payroll secretaries should be on a perch. You have to keep track of all of these things. Have your members be in close contact with payroll secretary.
Election Day
Postings going up for per session to load asynchronous work up for Election Day. Last Thursday we had consultation on official DOE policy on people working at home. DOE with Chancellor not there said it was remotely but now they are saying maybe not. Principal must inform you by October 15 which is Friday or you are working remotely. Up to you whether you want to ask if they are informing you or not.
Class sizes
We set a record for schools with oversize classes at 41 schools with 132 classes.
Screenings
How many have had conversations about academic and social-emotional screenings? These screenings are supposed to be done through principal and chapter leader. Academic screenings end next Friday, October 22. Screening will produce a lot of information for your school that they need to act on. If chapter leader is not part of discussion, this could become very problematic. Will send out agreement again. Will have to wait until January according to DOE on social emotional screening. DOE put in a grant proposal to the federal DOE. to help undo the harm because of the pandemic. We got the grant which has money and NYC DOE has to run reports and they have made it a teacher or guidance counselor's job. We get compensation for this. This will be a long report. Can we get that out in bullets in English?
UFT debt clinic
2.5 years ago we started debt clinic. People retiring still paying off student loans. National scandal. Thousands have been through UFT loan program. We filed lawsuit against Betsy De Vos and it was settled today. Any teacher whose name was on the lawsuit has student debt completely erased. Any member who could have been able to reduce debt is going to have a chance to be involved. Members screwed by loan companies.
Thanks to all of you who wore pink. That is a huge issue to us. Breast cancer rate higher than national average. Thank Servia Silva who has run strides. We are the biggest group. Thanks them. (delegates cheer.) Servia and team have raised $10 million. We want this eradicated. This feeds the soul. We want 3d imaging for mammograms. We have partnered with Lennox Hill for this. It can detect three years before other machines. That deal is in place for 3-d mammogram. Half of members 50 and above did not have baseline mammograms on record. Goal to have 100% of members 50 and above to havea mammogram. Whole schools show up for Strides. They walk with member who has cancer or who has survived. Thanks everyone and ends report.
Staff Director's Report
Making Strides walk this weekend. First new chapter leader weekend postponed. Townhall for new members. Election Day November 2. Many political endorsements coming up. Teacher Union Day is November 7. That is the anniversary of our first strike. Veterans Committee asking people to join on November 11. Next DA is in November.
15 minute question period
Question: Chapter leader gives name and school: MOSL deadline 10/22, is there any guidance coming from UFT?
Mulgrew Answer: We will send out something on MOSL Friday.
Question: Middle school chapter leader asks about waivers on Regents for global.
Answer: Conversations going on at State Education Department. It is good to have Betty Rosa at SED who tells us what is going on and makes decisions on behalf of the kids. She told previous governor she doesn't work for him.
Question: District 25 Two informal observations?
Answer: Principal can do observations. Mulgrew says he was observed 18 times one year. One principal he asked to observe him more but it blew his mind.
Question: What happened to the mayor's substitutes?
Answer: There weren't 11,000 but was 6,500. Happy court intervened to put date back. People were supposed to be redeployed. We have enough to cover for an emergency. About 2,000 unvaccinated on absence without leave. About 900 got exemptions. Hopefully we have long term solutions.
Question: Paras covering classes at lunch?
Answer: We rolled that agreement over from last year. Schools that lost paras due to the mandate realize it's a big deal.
Question: New York Health Act, we passed a resolution at the DA supporting it in 2015 and now we put out an ad against it?
Answer: We will not support the New York Health Act. It would cost members thousands of dollars. NY Health Act will not give us everything we want and have money left over. People go on what is on social media but our lawyers don't agree. Facts, people, not rhetoric.
Question: New teachers in school not getting paid yet? Two pay periods, nothing. Told check is in the mail.
Answer: Mike Sill is looking into this and writing the chapter leader's name down. The check is in the mail is not appropriate.
Question: Testimony at City Council to get the 20% back for weekly testing. Is there an update on that?
Answer: Things are falling apart at City Hall. It is not where we were at last year. Last year it was a model for the country; this year it is not. Will it be fixed before this administration leaves? Probably not but cases are dramatically falling.
Question: School nurses in egregious state. Nurses being split to go to uncovered schools. 400 uncovered positions. Ads offering more money. What can we do to ensure more nurses? Will it take the death of a student to get a nurse into every building?
Answer: Mulgrew agrees with the nurse. We thought we crossed this hurdle last year. We took a big hit with the mandate. Said it over and over. Eric Adams has worked with us on this issue. Adams says it's unconscionable that there is not a nurse in every school building. DOE makes excuses about DC 37 nurses vs UFT nurses and there has to be a ratio. We are pushing on this. Administration is crumbling near the end. This is like how we were short 1,500 safety agents before the mandate. DOE hired private people for outside the schools.
Motion Period
Motion for today's agenda on the UFT urging the City Council for City Council Speaker. Hybrid vote: Voting at home. Then Mulgrew asks for vote of those in the hall. 87% yes-13% no. Internally it was way over 87%.
Point of order from Peter Lamphere on people from Mulgrew's Unity Caucus only being called. Mulgrew says it is out of order.
Motion on NY schools on 9-11 on a curriculum on the day. It passes easily. Peter Lamphere makes a motion to extend motion period. Mulgrew doesn't entertain it so many people who wanted a hands off our healthcare motion to be raised and were not able to raise their motion. A chant goes on of "Hands off our Healthcare." Many delegates walk out.
Special Orders of business
Resolution to support a bunch of City Council endorsements. Mulgrew forces a vote on ending debate when nobody wants to debate. It gets 86% yes-14% No. On the actual endorsements, it is again 86% yes and it carries.
At automatic adjournment time, a motion is made to extend. 62% vote in favor. 449 to 276. Mulgrew extends.
Motion to endorse Eric Adams and Brad Lander for comptroller. A unity Executive Board person says we must endorse Adams or he will only get support from charter schools.
A Delegate on the phone speaks against Adams saying we got fliers in the mail saying not to vote for Adams. That is followed by a Unity retired district representative. He praises Adams. Says Adams respects teachers and doesn't respect DOE. Admits we don't agree with Adams on everything but says nobody is better suited than Adams now. This is followed by another Unity retiree. The question is called and 75% vote yes. Vote on the actual resolution is 76% yes.
The final resolution was to for the UFT to urge a woman to be chosen to lead the City Council as Speaker. Mulgrew leaves the chair to speak for it. A speaker against is ruled out of order and cut off the phone by Leroy Barr who is now chairing. 87% vote yes.
Meeting is adjourned.
News 12 from the Bronx covers the healthcare protest as did amny. CBS 2 is on the retiree healthcare issue also.

MULGREW: "Don't be afraid of observations". I hate him so friggin' much. It is so easy for him to utter this bullshit because HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE OBSERVED BY A MANIAC ADMINISTRATOR! He should have been pushing for the option to do both informal observations the way they could be done last year which was to video it and send it to an admin. I can't wait to vote for whoever is running against him in the upcoming election.
“Last year we were the model for the country” Oh Mulgrew. You silly.
Mulgrew says he was observed 18 times? Maybe he should talk to some of the new teachers to the DOE who get 4 observations a year. That means a newbie would get more observations in 5 years than Mulgrew has had in his entirely short career as a teacher.
Sure wish I could have spoken against UFT's support of Eric Adams. Insane. UFT sends out a tweet announcing Election Day is remote for ALL teachers, Michael Mulgrew tonight "oops my bad". Plus extra mandated work for Sped teachers. Seems like incompetence to me.
Haaaaa! Chants of "hands off our healthcare" and delegates walking out. Glad to hear that shit head Mulgrew is getting some heat.
Mulgrew should be impeached for endorsing Eric Adams. Incompetence at the top. There are real issues members are facing, and time is spent listening to retired members throw support behind Adams. They are not in the classroom anymore. Maybe we should be listening to the inservice members about issues that face them. And listen to retired members when Mulgrew takes away their health care.
Even though Mulgrew can win every vote if he follows the rules, he is nervous about health care, nervous about Adams, and feels compelled to abuse the chair.
It might make us angry, but we should understand it is a sign of weakness, of a lack of confidence in their own position, of a lack of confidence in their own people.
Jonathan
Jonathan, I disagree. I think it is frustration. He believes he works very hard and makes the best decisions he can with information and leverage he has. And he gets attacked by people he regards as being simplistic and unfair, people who never give him credit for anything. So, he loses patience. I think he's confident in his positions and his cadres. By the way, when hell freezes over and MORE and Solidarity agree on a candidate, then he might raise an eyebrow.
Here is Mulgrew with de Blasio strategizing how to throw you under the proverbial bus
with regard to your healthcare:
https://www.allposters.com/-sp/Alice-In-Wonderland-Tweedle-Dee-and-Tweedle-Dum-Posters_i6093857_.htm
If he is so confident in his positions, then why doesn't he let the Democratic process play out and call on people who do not belong to Unity Caucus?
I think he's arrogant and contemptuous of the opposition. It is not a laudable attitude but it nevertheless does come from confidence, not uncertainty. He's impatient and doesn't want to waste time talking about ideas held by such a small minority of nay sayers and simpletons.
Then Jonathan is right that Mulgrew abused the chair. I don't think it is a small minority that doesn't want their healthcare messed with.
Calm down, is this how you are when being observed? Hysterical?
Democratic process? You mean you don't like him censoring you like you do to so many others who try to comment here? Don't be such a baby.
You should talk Eterno, you abuse your role
as administrator of this blog almost daily.
Anyone who is even slightly educated can hear and see that Mulgrew is neither a well educated man nor very sincere. He is as corrupt and self-serving as those in NYC government and the suits in the DOE. Yet, he is voted into office.
Regarding Eric Adams, why would the UFT endorse him when his own NYPD union does not?
Perhaps voting New Yorkers should read his platform and that of Curis Sliwa and decide for themselves. I remember the years before social media when people were allowed, even encouraged, to think for themselves.
James at 9:36. Because the end justifies the means. Even Mikey has been infected with marxism. He has the moral high ground. So anything he does is morally acceptable. Remember Fauci’s moral lie? You don’t need masks. It’s the same sick freedom hating thinking. Control by any means necessary. Lies are truth. When the republicans take control, you’ll finally see how dangerous the left was in getting the authoritarian train rolling on the tracks. You’re not going to like Republican fascism but it’s the left that’s promoting authoritarian rule as acceptable. Wake up.
It's James' blog. Not Mulgrew's DA. Situation not analogous. He asked 2 things. No disinformation and no opt out talk. In spite of that a lot of people post that stuff. So he can do whatever he wants with his blog as it belongs to him and the fact is that he's being very lenient in not enforcing his own rules.
Fully vaccinated 21-year-old University of Georgia student dies of Covid
It's a dangerous disease. That's why everyone needs the added protection of the vaccine. The numbers are dropping fast thanks to it. Unfortunately, it's not 100% effective.
James is so angry-just as he was so angry in march of 2020-he demands we continue paying dues and censors people on all topics, exactly as he complains about the same UFT process. Nice.
You don't see the hypocrisy?
9:32,
Sorry, but the original heartbreaking article does not say that the student was vaccinated.
Nobody brought this up...
The average household income is in the 70k area in 2021. Most of our student households are much, much less. If you spent that on goods and services, 5.4% #inflation is $4,314.60. Hope you thought those stimmy checks were worth it. which many of us didn't get. You lost them and then some. Free money isn’t free.
U.S. inflation accelerated slightly in September, rising 5.4% from the year before as supplies and labor continued to drive up prices https://on.wsj.com/3lDM7II
The first panacea for a mismanaged country is monetary inflation, the second one is war.
-Ernest Hemingway
When I was chairing chapter meetings, I was fair to everyone, even if they disagreed with me. I didn't yell at someone for asking me a difficult question or trying to raise an issue.
Comparing what Mulgrew does at DA's to me not printing racist or anti science nonsense is not a fair comparison.
1112, ok Borris.
Many people where are in debt, so they're happy with the inflation!
James, who "cares about the kids," spends no time on this.
The biggest problem with NYC education is that more than half the children are failing to meet basic proficiency standards. Instead of fixing this, Mayor and Chancellor decided to eliminate the 3% in Gifted and Talented classes.
1112 AM,
You must've missed the White House and Ron Klain said prices surging are just high class problems...So, teachers, you're good.
Mind you "racist and anti science nonsense" could be found in a weather report according to some.
Can't make it up...but karma can be a bitch.
Roflmao...?
Maybe self-righteous ego prevents seeing hypocrisy. But I think it's more likely that hypocrisy isn't a problem to people like this.
DO APs get vacation time during the school year?
Larry Summers, who served as Treasury Secretary under former President Bill Clinton and director of the National Economic Council under former President Barack Obama, warned during multiple interviews this week that inflation is even worse than he suggested it might be when he commented on the matter earlier this year.
Speaking to a virtual conference organized by the Institute of International Finance, Summers also warned that woke bankers were an issue because they are focusing on the wrong thing.
“We have a generation of central bankers who are defining themselves by their wokeness,” Summers said. “They’re defining themselves by how socially concerned they are.”
We are soooo screwed.
James thinks he is fair. Mulgrew knows he's not. That's one difference.i respect James. Another difference. I disagree with both men often.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like Mulgrew is swatting flies. If you disagree with him, you're out of order and silenced. Is there actually anything that can be done?
Sorry for the quick off topic question but I am new to a particular school and the administration is pushing this Kinvolved platform as another way to take attendance. We have the regular bubble sheets and so on. Am I wrong here by saying this is optional? Does anyone know if you can be forced to do whatever this Kinvolved platform is? Did the UFT sell out on this too? Thank you in advance.
What is the attendance policy for a PE class which is all activity?
The sister said he was fully vaxxed. All the more reason to get the shot. It's a mean, unpredictable virus. People get killed in car accidents while they are wearing their seatbelts. That is not a reason to not wear seatbelts. Rather that is a reason to wear seat belts and take other precautions as well. But I'm not in favor of shutting down the universe. We have to live and take risks.
James you cite "anti science nonsense" to commenter 10:40 as a justification to censor. Well answer this, is it anti science to point out the number of deaths related to the vaccine which is openly reported on the cdc website? Why have you censored that several times as I have tried to comment? I'm sure you have some bullshit answer
The fact is that Unity enjoys a huge majority. Technically, that's democracy, even though it doesn't feel that way to the 15% who disagree. Start winning school elections.
517 i think we need to protest him more. take it to his house. follow him as much as can be done.
6:40, I don't want to start this again. This is not the forum for those debates.
Throw the whole administration away!! Mulgrew, Porter, Deblasio, Houchal and whatever you all do, don't vote for Adams.
Bill Pepitone for NYC Mayor!
4:04: APs get 2 weeks off a year in addition to all the other time off during the year. Only summers they don't have off.
10 month AP gets summer’s off.
Cathy Rojas. Public school teacher running for mayor.
Mulgrew's handling of those delegate questioners is all about his avoidance of inconvenient truths. Mulgrew can't handle truth. He prefers the comfort of his fantasies.
Joe Pepitone for NYC Mayor
Boy Who Pointed Out The Emperor Has No Clothes Banned For Misinformation
What can be done. Gee I don’t know. I mean we are mandated to pay our union even if they punch us in the face time and time again, right? Oh wait……
It's really provocative that the same people keep talkin about opt out when James has asked them repeatedly not to. Then he allows the comments which I don't think he should because it violates the rules of the blog and then he gets taken to task for being a censor. And the worst part about it is that I had spoken to the boro reps at the various UFT offices and they tell me that the actual opt out rate is less than 1%. So all these big talkers are mostly fakes
At least mulgrew answers more questions than biden.
Do as James demands, no matter how bad it gets.
I disagree with James on a lot but no one can honestly say James isn’t in it to help teachers. His heart is in the right place. I don’t want anyone censored but I wish everyone would be respectful when telling James they disagree. He’s not the bad guy. Mulgrew and company are the bad guys.
At least Biden did not try to overturn a fair and free election which would have resulted in an end to our democracy
6:10. I guess you didn’t see all the videos of democrats claiming our elections were not secure. Of course they all stopped saying it after Nov 2020. All the problems they highlighted mysteriously disappeared on their own. Come on, man.
Trump lost, and it was certified by all Trump sycophants, including BARR, and all the courts. Gore lost by a whole lot less and bowed out gracefully. Get the fuck over it.
Rhetoric and division politics won't result in lasting positive outcomes. In order to be a viable alternative to Unity, the opposition movement needs to develop a strong, facts-and-solutions-based platform that is presented to membership through multiple channels (dedicated website, blogs, social media, leafletting across all DOE schools). Tell us how you will make our schools, communities and the UFT better, and tell us specifically how you will do it.
9:41. It was a Biden supporter at 6:10 who brought it up.
6:10. Biden just caved and reinstalled Trump’s remain in Mexico policy. Even Dementia Joe knows Trump’s policies worked. Maybe he’ll follow Trump’s lead again and change his mind on US energy dependence too. Hopefully before those without fire places need to spend 50% more to heat their homes this winter. Hubby and eldest son at our property upstate cutting down trees and getting our winter supply ready. Christmas presents already delivered. 2 freezers and pantry full. Enough toilet paper til next summer. I guess I’m a prepper now. The result of an incompetent Biden administration.
@10:46 Nobody in their right mind would think Trump is a better choice than Biden, unless you don't care about installing an authoritarian in office, who disgraces the Office of the Presidency, and goes around humiliating the people of the country, dismantling all norms of decency and decorum, and abolishing all consumer protections. He's utterly disgusting and it says a lot about you that you think you can defend Trump in any way. I will pay 100% more to heat my home than to see Trump in office again. And there you are "Christmas presents already delivered, 2 freezers and pantry full, enough toilet paper", obviously bragging about how well you're doing, and STILL COMPLAINING.
Who’s complaining? Hubby and I worked hard and now in our 50s enjoying fruits of our labor. Glad you have the money to stay warm. Not everyone does. I disagree. Biden mandates are authoritarian. Trump was a blowhard with good policies. I’d take his policies over Biden’s and it looks like Biden is starting to agree with me.
If you think what is going on in this country right now is good, you are either blind, stupid or a dem lapdog..or randi weingarten.
10:56 Trump is moe than a blow hard. He is a corrupt politician who attempted to overturn a free and fair election in our country for the first time in over 200 years. The most conservative supreme court in decades including Trump appointees sided against Trump. Disagree with Biden all you want but he did not attempt to turn a democratic country into a dictatorship
12:50 Backatcha. If you think Trump was good for this country, then YOU are either blind, stupid or a QAnon lapdog. I can't even say Republican lapdop since many, many, many decent Republicans and Conservatives have sounded the alarm on Trump the psychopathic, wanna Autocrat.
A blowhard. Are you kidding? He was and is a lunatic who tried to overturn an election, and used dangerous words for the entire four years to get his supporters to attack his opponents and the media. My God, are you really that naive?? He's a very despicable man, and it says a lot about you and anyone else who still supports him.
Dangerous words, like calling parents domestic terrorists? lol.
Dangerous words? Is that the best you got? How about never answering a media question? How about inflation out of control? How about lawbreaking?
Why does the media not hold Press Sec accountable for potential Hatch Act violations? She has twice advocated for political candidates from the podium.
There is no problem in engaging in First Amendment political activity, but it must be done separate and apart from the podium.
Another day, another possible Hatch Act violation from @presssec @jrpsaki
PSAKI: “Again, we’re going to do everything we can to help former governor McAuliffe, and we believe in the agenda he’s representing.” twitter.com/MatthewFoldi/s…
6:41 -yes, DANGEROUS words which culminated in poisonous substances being mailed out, and an attack on the Capitol, not to mention his DANGEROUS rhetoric regarding the virus which was at 14 diagnosed when the country became aware. Since when is it appropriate for Presidents to advocate for DANGEROUS activities. Get lost with your utter hypocrisy about "potential Hatch Act violations", when you had people like KellyAnn Conway blatantly violating the Hatch Act on a regular basis. It's laughable that you think that anyone should hold the current Press Sec accountable.
GREAT that they are going to do whatever they can to help WHOEVER. I'm all for it. Shameless hypocrite!
6:27 - protests are one thing. Those rabid CRT protestors have no right to lob threats of violence at school board members, based on the parents' brains being fried from right wing propaganda.
It wasn't BIDEN who asked that they be treated as domestic terrorists, it was the National School Board Association when they got tired of all the threats. It was then that the DOJ asked the FBI to investigate threats of violence. What's wrong with investigating threats of violence? Right wing media TWISTED it, like they twist everything to suggest Biden was calling parents domestic terrorists. Even though, it is actually the parents who are suggesting that school boards and teachers are acting like Nazis, and all the rest. Try your nonsense on one who is more easily befuddled.
749 is good at ignoring. Adios.
So your argument is Trump is so bad---Biden is doing the exact same?
Trump's entire administration was a bonafide criminal cabal and these clowns want to try and claim some sort of higher moral ground on the Hatch Act because right wing media is screeching about it? What a joke.
Biden is doing the exact same what?? Trump's administration was filled with convicted criminals and he had no respect for anybody. No contest fool.
8:02 yes, you're all good at ignoring facts. Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
@8:05 Did Biden try to overturn an election and lead an assault on the Capitol? Try and THINK for a change.
Cool. So is illegally stopping traffic or looting or rioting or burning down buildings or wrecking restaurants as people are eating domestic terrorism?
Thank you for clearing that up. Can you tell me what's going on now?
10:42 Whats going on now is that we dont have to hear heroic black people like John Lewis being denigrated by a psychopath, or hear him disrespecting countries of color, we dont have to worry about peaceful protestors being attacked because the President wants a photo-op. Consumer protections have restored, parents of children under 17 are receiving checks, and were it not foR Republicans running interference we might actually have an infrastructure plan which could lead to well-paying jobs. We also dont have an administration diabolically trying to dismantle healthcare during a pandemic because Obama's name is connected to it. We dont have a President disparging our intelligence agencies on the world stage, while praising Putin, no more deranged acts by Guiliani leading to the firing of war heroes, and pushing out of career diplomats for his own gain. Want more? LOOK IT UP, there's plenty.
You’re all insane. Nothing you described is accurate. Trump Derangement Syndrome epidemic. No need to mask anymore. Joe and Jill ditched masks in DC restaurant. Just another example of only indoctrinated suckers following authoritarian rule. It really says something about you if you support a child sniffer who seems to get off on putting his hands all over kids. I hope you don’t work around children.
lol 1102, nice try. You may have missed a few things, or conveniently ignored what is actually happening.
Checks...As in more welfare for people who don't need to work.
Like Biden getting rid of "remain in mexico" only because Trump's name was on it, only to reninstall it.
Like Biden getting rid of the pipeline, costing how many jobs? Union jobs, since this is a pro uniuon blog.
As for the spending plan...
So...it doesn't cost $0. Thanks for playing.
Ronald Klain
@WHCOS
The plans are fully paid for by raising taxes on corporations and the high income individuals. So, yes, we can afford them.

Jen Psaki just DEFENDED Biden breaking the same mask mandates he himself pushes while parading through a swanky Georgetown restaurant this weekend
Boo hoo @ 2:05, boo hoo.
@1:50. You mean like Mnuchin received hundreds of thousands in COVID relief money and then bragged how easy it was to get it, or how Trump received a $25million tax forgiveness? Welfare like THAT? I've never seen a group of people so idiotic who would advocate against their own interests while excusing the antics of millionaires. But there you are begrudging families $300/month. That is extremely pathetic. But who the hell said they don't need to work? This is for WORKING families using the same income thresholds as the COVID relief.
11:09 - we know you don't work around children because you've bragged that you don't work at all, so shut the fuck up since you support a lunatic rapist while trying to claim some higher moral ground. You too are a fraud and a thief. Trump derangement syndrome my ass. You psychotics obsessed over Obama years after he was out of office so your pretend sanctimonious attitude fools no one.
"Mr. Biden has proposed fully paying for this with a series of tax increases on businesses and the wealthy — including raising the corporate tax rate, increasing taxes on multinational corporations and cracking down on wealthy people who evade taxes — along with reducing government spending on prescription drugs for older Americans."
I'm supposed to give a fuck about this? IDIOT!
1:50 you say "Checks...As in more welfare for people who don't need to work." Is this similar to the Trump supporters who boast that they work for the DOE and say that they don't actually teach and do absolutely nothing all day? Do you think that's welfare? Hmmmmm?
You’re going to hate it when the republicans take the authoritarian field from the democrats in 2022. Even liberal pollsters know America hates the left . Republican fascists thank you for opening the door for them, liberal fascists. Meisha must be one big welfare queen for allowing teachers to get paid to not work. Why do all these democrat voting administrators keep all these lazy corrupt teachers? Because it’s all about politics. As long as they think we’re left, we’re golden whether we teach or not. It’s ok with Meisha so who is anyone to say she is incompetent. Meisha picks superintendents. Superintendents pick administrators. Administrators rate teachers. If there’s corruption, go after Meisha. She approves it all. You’re own leftists set the policies. Meisha wants kids to be passed along. Let me know when you all are going to protest at her office and demand real standards for nyc kids.
@9:02 Even Republicans and Conservatives loathe Trump Republicans, so backatcha. But what are you babbling about? You're no different than a welfare leech. Ypu have to be babysat to do the right thing by kids and have standards? They have to pass laws for you to do the job they're paying you to do? You're a person of very low character. The same nutjob running through the these threads trying to rationalize your fraudulent behavior by crying that its the Chancellor's fault. Disrespectful, racist. bitch. You're not on a first name basis with her. So yeah, you're no different than a welfare queen who sits on her azz, doesnt work, amd collects a check. You just have you kiss a lot more azz to get yours.
5:57, you’re clearly a racist. You assume I go after Meisha because she is black. Racists think like you. I go after Meisha because she’s the incompetent head of nyc schools. I call her Meisha because I fucking want to. Typical leftist UFT member defending the chancellor and making up racism allegations. Damn straight I’m disrespectful of Meisha. She’s a piece of shit. I disrespected Carmen and Cathie fucking Black too. And Richard…. Let’s not forget that boob either. I wear the label bitch with pride but I prefer to be called the c-word. James wouldn’t print my first response because I spelled the C word out. Calling someone a bitch or a dick is acceptable but c - - - is forbidden in James’ censorship world. Go figure. Maybe James can give us an approved list of words we can use to insult. In the meantime I’ll make up my own. You’re a bint. A dazz bint to be more specific.
My, my so triggered so early in the morning. No dummy - I didn't as-sume you go after "Meisah" because she's black, I KNOW you keep referring to her by her first name because she's black. ROFLMAO @ "she's a piece of shit". You think you're better than her? You collect a fucking paycheck and admit that you don't work. Spent your days on the admin's coach yukking it up, calling each other "girl" to keep her off your back for not teaching. What does that make you? Hahahaha. You're a delusional fraud and you keep your head firmly entrenched in your AP's backside because as you've admitted you want to keep her off the scent that you are committing fraud. And of COURSE you disrespected the others two, because you are a disrespectful BITCH. Just listen to yourself, preferring to be called the C-word. Gawd you make someone want to vomit. You're not well in the head. A disgrace to the profession, and to women everywhere.
You think it's cute to publicly declare that you are committing fraud but look at this article just today:
"Cops say the two had been drinking in their patrol cars, hanging out behind a school.
The resignations do not affect the charges against them, which include larceny for accepting pay but not working."
Read that? They showed up to work and didn't do shit and now they may face LARCENY charges, just like you, larceny committing FRAUD.
@6:18: This is what you call yourself; I guess it fits. Cambridge dictionary definition for the c-word:
"an offensive word for a very unpleasant or stupid person"
Vocabulary.com
"the c-word is a contender for most offensive word in English. The c-word should be avoided at all costs."
Freedictionary.com
"the use of the c-word is still not considered acceptable by most people outside very limited social contexts. Though originally a pungent descriptive word in Middle English, it has been taboo for many centuries and continues to be so"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet this is what you prefer as a description for yourself. See a doctor!
Moron. I do exactly what doe policy allows me to do. If I was doing anything illegal or anything in violation of doe policy I wouldn’t be writing about it on this blog. Take it up with Meisha. I’m following her game plan. Not my fault if she sucks as the boss.
It is illegal to commit larceny, and accept pay without work, as mentioned in the article above, but you'd have to be a moron not to know that already. Of course you publicly bragged about it because you are a narcissist and think it's cute, and you are also a dumbazz. But yeah, keep blaming the Chancellor for the theft you have committed all of these years. There is nothing in DOE policy that says you can collect a paycheck and not work. You are nuts if you think that is contained in any policy. Besides they haven't "allowed" you to do anything, you admitted that you have lied, fooled and defrauded your dumb supervisors into believing you work, remember? If it was legal, and ethical, you wouldn't have to go to such lengths to try and fool them. Idiot! LOL.
Besides, what does that have to do with referring to yourself as the despicable c-word. See a fucking doctor you slime.
I admitted I lied and convinced them I’m woke. That’s all they care about. I get highly effective from supervisors because of my politics. My teaching is irrelevant to them. I called myself a c - - t because you people are obsessed with name calling as if it means something. Call me whatever, just don’t call me late for dinner or fire Meisha. As long as dumb wokesters are in charge I keep riding the doe gravy train. I conned the woke and it’s driving you fellow wokesters nuts. Love it!
LMAO - You sound deranged and delusional @ 10:05 the lil c---. All your lying and pretending and STEALING has driven YOU nuts. Poor you has to pretend to be "woke" to get effective ratings. Very pathetic.
P.d. thanks for admitting yoi're committing larceny. Hopefully a freedom of information request by the media will expose you. LMAO.
