Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Re-sharing – now without the editorializing! “On Friday, Penn notified department chairs that it will cut admissions across graduate programs, a decision faculty members say was made after programs had already accepted students.”

this kind of shit made sense back when musk was still widely admired and seen as non-political but the most recent polling shows he's hilariously unpopular, like 10-15 points lower than Trump's own low approval ratings. People hate this motherfucker! You don't need to clear your throat first

I appreciate that this feels like the crash starting. Many universities have already shaved down Ph.D admissions after graduate unions win contracts. Spectacular austerity on top of cruddy, union-busting austerity. I doubt universities will draw on their endowments to ensure grad places stay open.

39% of the detainees disappeared to the Guantanamo offshore prison were deemed "low threat" by the Trump administration. Some of the individuals being detained at Guantanamo did not cross illegally, legally requesting asylum at a port of entry.

did not know that the little case on the anti-prostitution loyalty oath (USAID v. Alliance for Open Society International), the first SCOTUS case I followed, and a major case for funding sex workers’ health and rights groups, had significance in the 1A fight ahead (as cited in the announcement here)

If you are faculty (especially one with any degree of money or status), you must join AAUP. Members fund our lawsuits against Trump, access resources to learn how to fight, receive free legal consultations and referrals in case they're targeted, and return a portion of dues to their local.

On today’s new ep, I’m joined by @reproutopia.bsky.social to discuss their new book Enemy Feminisms out this week from @haymarketbooks.org—a ruthless critique of the ways feminism has been weaponized in service of empire & capital Feminism isn’t inherently liberatory & this book names our enemies.

In Boro Park, Brooklyn last night: A demo against a stolen land real estate event was countered by MAGA Zionists who, throughout the night, incited people into violence, provoking numerous mob attacks. Today, ‘democratic’ pols issued condemnations of ‘antisemitism’ in defense of the MAGA mob.

One of the people who runs the shower side of the shower pop up my free clothes closet is at, Deeq, needs dental help. He is genuinely one of the best souls I know. He runs the kids' programming, does Somali translation, organizes the food shelf... And he needs community right now. 💕💸

I don't really see value in saying cops/COs "aren't workers" -- obviously they earn wages and clock in and have bosses. But they are certainly not part of the labor movement and this pattern of engaging in strikes specifically to harm prisoners is repugnant

Donald Trump shut off funding for dozens of Head Start programs across the country. I visited the PICA Head Start Training Center in Minneapolis to hear firsthand from educators on ways the federal funding cuts would impact students across our state.

(1/2) Nice piece by Mary Harris on how a strike by federal employees can act as a point of leverage to rein in the DOGE nonsense. Yes, it would be illegal, but so is what Trump/Musk are doing. When leaders break the rules, they lose their legitimacy.

OK, but it doesn't matter if any of these people have criminal records. Please, please, stop with this logic that is somehow worse that this is also being done to people without criminal records. People. THESE ARE PEOPLE. Jesus Christ.

The same principle applies to marshals policing chants by controlling the megaphone. Want to see if “abolish the police” will take off but the marshal is keeping it to “prosecute the police”? Borrow the megaphone and melt away. Megaphones aren’t necessary for protests anyhow

There is so much focus on Miller and Homan but career ICE officials are more than eager to carry out the mass deportation agenda. This is why many of us remain committed to abolition. There is no fixing this.
