A video of President Obama and Mayor Mamdani singing "Wheels on the Bus" with kids at a NYC school is going viral. There is literally not one person alive in the entire Republican Party who measures up to either of these two people.

Leadership isn’t just about power. It’s about presence. Humanity. Connection. Moments like this remind you what it looks like when people in public life can show up with joy, patience, and genuine care.

Say what you want—but that kind of energy, that kind of spirit? It’s rare.

The city used to have a number of high schools dedicated to training students for a trade. This is the Straubenmuller Textile High School in the late 1930s, with some of its students outside.

Our public education system was just sold to the highest bidder, and low-income communities of color are at risk of losing the most. DeVos’s agenda to redirect public funding for school vouchers, virtual charter schools, for-profit charter schools, unaccredited private schools, and schools that regularly discriminate against children is a direct attack on one of our country’s last universally-acknowledged public goods, education. We will continue to reject DeVos’s attempts to weaken the rights of our children and parents, and we will fiercely defend our public education.
