Northwestern’s Trump deal harms students and faculty by gutting research, abandoning Gaza justice, and giving $75 million to the Trump regime. Throwing your campus under the bus isn’t leadership — it’s cowardice. Hold NU accountable and demand they stand with their community over Trump.
Northwestern settles with Trump administration in $75M deal to regain federal funding
The university will pay $75 million over three years to end the Trump administration's investigations into antisemitism on its campus and to have millions of dollars in federal funding restored.

TN-07, if you haven't already voted, #GetOutAndVote
A deep-red Tennessee district hosts last special election of 2025 today.

This race shouldn’t be competitive. GOP candidate Matt Van Epps is close in polls with Democratic Rep. Aftyn Behn. The seat is vacant because former Rep. Mark Green resigned earlier this year.

If you've been a donor to Northwestern, stop donating and let them know why
Northwestern bent the knee, choosing to give in to extortion at the expense of academic freedom.

Among the provisions:
-Pay a big bribe
-Give the govt data on students
-Validate BS about "fighting antisemitism"
-Be cruel to trans students

What to do about Vichy universities (now, later, or both)?
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

Utahns, tell your governor expanding the court just because he doesn't like its decisions is morally wrong
Reminder: Republicans love "court packing" when it suits them:

Last week Utah Gov. Spencer Cox appointed anti-abortion culture war zealot John Nielsen to the state supreme court, & may now expand the court to create a majority more favorable to Republican legislators: www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

The government shutdown may be over, but the impact is far from it.

As states restart food assistance, they are also rolling out new restrictions and cuts that will make it harder for many of our mamas and caregivers to keep their benefits.

Donate today to support the Food Freedom Fund. ❤️
We’re raising $100,000 to provide direct payments to Black mamas and caregivers who have been disproportionately affected by the shutdown, lapse, and partial payment of SNAP benefits this November.
