So blessed to discover that I'll be teaching when the university president comes to meet with my soon-to-be-eliminated department in early December.

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Today, @lookheron.bsky.social argues that, for higher education, it's been one battle after another: how the neoliberal era laid the groundwork for the recent authoritarian turn.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

One thing to understand about what's happening now is that on Oct 1, the deportation machine's budget increased dramatically: $170 billion in NEW funding, averaging to $42.5 billion per year. That's just below the Israeli military's annual budget. It's the equivalent of 13th biggest army on earth.

We just saw One Battle After Another. Very highly recommended -- might be the best film PTA has made. Definitely a timely film for our current predicament. Special props for the scene where our protagonist is getting high while watching Battle of Algiers.

St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress.

We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.

20-Story Public Housing Building in the Bronx Partly Collapses

"A correction was made on Oct. 1, 2025: An earlier version of this article misstated the estimated cost of repairs and improvements needed in the New York City public housing system over the next 20 years. It is $80 billion, not $80 million."

What's at stake as USC and LMU push back against untenured faculty unions? Administrators say the bargaining units should be dismissed, or that they have no standing. One campus is going after the federal agency in charge of union activity.

Great article about how two major LA universities are trying bust unions and crush worker democracy

ICE brutalizing journalists is nothing short of an act of political violence and an assault on the free press.

We strongly condemn these cowardly actions by masked agents.

Trump wants the military to use American cities as "training grounds" and Hegseth thinks rules of engagement are too strict. If these two--plus Miller and Homan--could get away with death squads, they would so do it. 1/2

I'm honestly astonished at how shitty the last 60% of the Mets season turned out. Like how the fuck did they actually manage to not make the playoffs?

He's stuck on the ballot, but good riddance to the worst mayor NYC has had in generations. January 1 can't arrive soon enough.

Yeah, they fucking hate us.

One easy way to see that those were labor issues was the fact that many of your colleagues with a different employment status didn't have those rights and protections. Instead of seeing that as a problem to be fixed for the good of all, too many saw it as a sad fate they'd avoid because of ✨merit✨

Mets gonna met.
