Solidarity w/the actionists who occupied a building at Barnard. W4G continues to be inspired by the Popular University for Gaza and the student intifada. We also dream of a world where learning is marshaled in service of Palestinian liberation rather than the death-making profits of universities.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

United Farm Workers just sued Border Patrol. The details in the complaint are harrowing www.aclusocal.org/en/press-rel...

A child died this morning from measles in an outbreak in West Texas. I just talked with a local health official, who called this death so sad, and so completely preventable.

Congressional District Impact of Medicaid Cuts - find your district: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

this is precisely the coming together of hardcore kid aesthetic and respect for vital public institutions I didn't know I needed

Hi all - this article mentions that public outcry has led some orgs to reverse these shitty decisions, so please cry out!!

I covered efforts to loosen child labor laws in 2023. At the time, historian Betsy Wood told me Republican lawmakers were pursuing deregulation with unprecedented "confidence and ambition." We're seeing the results now. You can read more about the harms here: www.yesmagazine.org/economy/2023...

Reporter: Migrants who were in Guantanamo Bay say they were shackled and placed in cages and say they were not treated as human beings. Any response to those conditions? Leavitt: It’s a promise the President campaigned on

this action has already murdered ~14,000 adults and ~1,500 children pepfar.impactcounter.com bsky.app/profile/bran...

french people are something else why’d you write all that if you’re only gonna say like a third of it

If you’re a journalist here in Chicago, or an aspiring journalist, or even a civilian who wants to pry documents from government for your and your neighbors’ edification… This is a great chance to learn about an invaluable tool of investigative reporting headlineclub.org/2025/02/21/f...

"Everybody is committed to preserving Medicare benefits for those who... deserve [them]." Chilling stuff.

Count von Count outlining the five things he did last week: 1. 1 2. 2 3. 3 4. 4 5. 5 ah ah ah ah ah

We've made it to Tuesday, folks. Don't forget to drink water, take your meds, and join a union.

Took me long enough, but finally got my site mostly updated with full bio, selected clips, etc. (Cat photo remains.) I’m sending pitches, of course, but would also love to take on assignments! Editors, I’d love to connect and work with you this year. www.rainesfordstauffer.com

'It is difficult not to draw parallels between contemporary housing crises and the urban history of housing that I have been working on over the past decade' Insightful post by @historywill.bsky.social on urban history and crises of housing #UrbanHistory #Skystorians @uomsalc.bsky.social

I'm looking to speak to disabled folks in the US who are unhoused, have been unhoused, or are facing homelessness for a story at @truthout.org. You can reach me via email or Signal, both in my bio. RTs appreciated.

Ich unterstütze Polylux. Vielleicht könnt ihr das auch?

gorgeous gorgeous girlies want leftist policy solutions

it's Monday again, not sure how this keeps happening.

Great overview of the remarkable protests in Serbia by Saša Savanović www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Kwame Ture put it far better than I ever could.

you know what'd be cool is if I wasn't always in a distracting amount of pain like what a thought

Ahead of Germany's snap election, I spoke to researchers about how rising rents are driving voters to the far right and organizers about how they're pushing back and bringing communities together around progressive solutions. Read my reporting at @truthout.org: truthout.org/articles/exp...

spent two hours on the phone with a friend, then came back online to find Trump is poised to dismantle the postal service, NEH is excluding "woke" research from funding, and, oh, it cannot be ruled out that avian flu might spread via the wind now

NEH introduces new prohibited categories to comply with executive orders. This is an infringement of academic freedom plain and simple, and also nonsense: what is “discriminatory equity ideology”

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

idk just spit balling here but uh if you prefer the plagiarism machine to your own outlines, maybe journalism just wasn't the right career path.

Comrade card for 1/28/2025. Give people what they need. Don't ask who deserves it.

Good morning, fam. I'm here with a little reminder to drink water, take your meds, and join a union.

All eyes on Germany this Sunday. 🗳️ Rising housing costs fuel a paradoxical trend—far-right forces capitalise on cost-of-living fears but offer no real solutions. The opposition must act boldly—invest in public, cooperative & social housing or risk leaving the field open. truthout.org/articles/exp...

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.
