Thank you for this @naomiaklein.bsky.social @chenjerai.bsky.social @astra.bsky.social @keeanga.bsky.social ! I was struck by the need for coalition-building among the left, does anybody know of any orgs or individuals focusing on that? Would love to volunteer some time!

"The Corporate Coup in Global Context: An Emergency Town Hall" @naomiaklein.bsky.social, @chenjerai.bsky.social, @astra.bsky.social, and @keeanga.bsky.social via @haymarketbooks.org

If you missed tonight’s town hall with @naomiaklein.bsky.social, @chenjerai.bsky.social, @astra.bsky.social, and @keeanga.bsky.social on resisting the shock and awe politics of the far right and their billionaire enthusiasts, you can watch the video here:

"These people have escape fantasies, they are getting ready to secede...they have given up on this world, its beauty, its people, its other species—that should radicalize us...we should talk about the bleakness & the treason of this project."—@naomiaklein.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyLi...

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 The acting Social Security commissioner has left the agency after a clash over providing DOGE access to sensitive data It follows our reporting that DOGE is seeking access to personal financial data at the IRS for every taxpayer, business and nonprofit.

Inspirational, strategic and grounded conversation from @chenjerai.bsky.social @naomiaklein.bsky.social @keeanga.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social Thanks @haymarketbooks.org you're the best 💖

From butlers to cooks, these formerly-enslaved partygoers dined and danced at balls you had to whisper invitations to get into. These balls were led by The Queen, who risked everything to facilitate this joyous world and courageously fought the police to keep it intact. ➡️ pushblack.news/9b5a52

🔥🔥🔥 The Associated Press has been locked out of White House briefings! “First they came for the journalists. We don’t know what happened after that”. Legacy media kicked out of offices in the pentagon. Replaced by Breitbart. OANN. Newsmax. HuffPost. WTF? Fight for a #FreePress

“A new paper from researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University finds that as humans increasingly rely on generative AI in their work, they use less critical thinking, which can ‘result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved.’”

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

President Trump has wasted no time attacking our fundamental rights — and we've wasted no time taking action against his administration. Watch our recent town hall to learn more and find out how you can join the fight.

AAUP-NYU has issued a report about the egregious correspondence between NYU President Linda Mills and Elizabeth Rand (founder of the anti-Palestinian group MACA), which threatens academic freedom and reflects gross corruption of NYU procedures

Truly scandalous discrimination and bias at the highest reaches of NYU theintercept.com/2025/01/31/n...

Speechless. And yes, “trauma” is on there.

🚨 ALL OUT FOR WORKERS’ RIGHTS! Tomorrow in D.C. show up and show out!! 🚨

Unacceptable! Shame on NYU administrators!

I just wanted y’all to see who NYU President Linda Mills responds directly to and is willing to associate with. According to the Intercept, Elizabeth Rand has a direct line to NYU President Linda Mills. theintercept.com/2025/01/31/n... Rand has been explicit about her desire to deport NYU students

Mommy poppins rules everything around me.😂 Gotta figure out these weekend plans with the kid.

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.

A.D. is here for all the smoke! Where the lie at tho? 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿

The federal government's new top HR attorney has said "Consent is probably modern society’s most pernicious fetish" and "Slaves owe us reparations," according to a new report from @pogo.org. www.pogo.org/investigatio...

⚡More than 80 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza since the "ceasefire" took hold, 49 of them in Rafah. Israel repeatedly violated the agreement, killing dozens of civilians returning to their devastated neighborhoods. Abubaker Abed reports from Gaza 🔽 www.dropsitenews.com/p/death-and-...

At 3:50 Trump's border czar describes how know your rights campaigns in Chicago are making it harder for ICE to do arrests. "I've seen many pamphlets," Tom Homan says. "The call it know your rights, I call it how to escape arrest" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1v...
