This is a very scary bit of information. Think about this - no actual money. Worse, the centers rely on taking advantage of and destroying small communities with pollution (increasing health problems) and use of clean water (creating shortages).

Second piece to help undergrads think through grad school admissions. This one is focused on thinking about the variables of PhD programs.

Great guide for undergrads to help think through if a Masters, PhD—or grad school as a whole—is right for them

I just learned, Thomas Alter, tenured professor, has been terminated effective immediately. Shame on Texas State! We mst build support for Tom. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-tex...

please contact the president of Texas State University, Kelly Damphousse, and urge him to respect academic freedom and the first amendment and restore Professor Tom Alter to teaching.

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

Two years have passed since Israel began its total genocidal assault on Gaza.

As politicians rebrand mass starvation as a “humanitarian crisis,” @alfatau.bsky.social exposes how this language hides genocide, shielding them from accountability in Palestine.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I think often about the Amazon engineer who wrote in an open letter to the company that Ring was “incompatible” with a free society.

And then allow ICE to have a major presence due to said Super Bowl performers' comments about them.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the "Thrilla in Manila" fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Suzuko Morikawa shows their face-off to be a "crucible cultural conflict" that extended beyond the ring and captured the tensions of the mid-1970s. 🗃️

Attacks on working people are growing at a dizzying pace. But we have a key point of leverage: The billionaire class depends on our labor.

@labornotes.bsky.social has just released a new resource on May Day 2028 filled with contract alignment FAQ's and resources. www.may2028.org

It’s official! We’re launching the UCLA Department of Labor Studies. After years of building as a small but mighty “program,” Labor Studies has been elevated to departmental status. We’re the first but hopefully not the last of our kind in the UC system.

If you live in California, call the governor's office and tell him to sign SB 79 into law.

My latest:”Through gossamer tributes, Kirk’s cruel condemnation of transgender people & his racist throwback views abt Black Americans were no longer anathema but instead are being treated as just another political view to be respectfully debated —like a position on tax rates or health care policy.”

Well don't I feel stupid

eternal gratitude to Cuba for offering sanctuary and a home to some of our most cherished political heroes.

Rest in power Assata Shakur.

assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."

She was 78.

I’m so fucking tired of the argument that pro Palestine protesters only target Kamala. Literally every week since Oct 7 there are Palestine protests multiple times a week. Someone just interrupted Trump dinner. Watch videos of ICE protests in LA — tons of kuffiyehs. You’re just not watching.
