Crazy cat lady

The faculty leaders are the only ones who point out these unions were recognized under NYS law - State Employment Relations Act (SERA) - which, unlike federal NLRB process, does not have a religious exemption. So all the references to NLRB and the religious exemption are irrelevant.

St. John’s University in New York No Longer Recognizes Faculty Labor Unions St. John’s University’s recent decision to cease recognizing faculty labor unions after 56 years stirred a conversation on Catholic social teaching.

“Father Brian Shanley is violating New York state law & ignoring decades of St. John’s institutional practice & centuries of Catholic social teaching around respect for labor & workers."

— Sophie Bell, St. John's University AAUP President

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

@schumer.senate.gov this!

In a long tweet about Anthropic, Pete Hegseth, through the offical "SecWar" Twitter account says "the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic."

Hegseth is wholeheartedly endorsing the core premise of fascism: industry, as part of the private sphere, must be subordinated to the military objectives of the state.

Smart politics- highlighting the one thing that will get the establishment, to vote against “Dr.” Casey. 🤣 “Food” lobby is powerful. I’m not a hater. Have her Good Energy book. Lots of good common sense stuff in there - no hint of her anti-vax position- sure some weirdness. And Whoot shrooms😉

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: ‘I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

Brad Lander: “It’s pretty outrageous…once people think that they don’t have to follow the law because the president doesn’t, workers suffer, our universities suffer, students & faculty suffer.”

St. John’s University can’t just UNrecognize faculty unions after 56 years. That’s not the law works.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Grift all the way down

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?

Last I checked buying liquor and checking out books weren’t constitutionally protected rights. Will the federal government be paying for everyone’s real id? If not, is that a poll tax? 🧐 My student who works at the local liquor store does not card me, but he does pass along his employee discount 😉

Democrats continue to hold the line on DHS funding while Republicans demand more money for the regime’s secret police. Urge Democrats to keep up the fight to get ICE Out For Good and tell Republicans to agree to a DHS funding bill that protects our communities and civil rights.

Teachers unions push for investigation into Apollo's Epstein ties Two teachers unions sent a letter to the SEC, asking for an investigation into Apollo's past statements.

New Epstein files reveal multiple meetings over several years between Jeffery Epstein and leaders at Apollo Global Management. That’s why we are demanding accountability and a full SEC investigation into the firm’s disclosures.

Epstein's Little Black Book Exists. Where Is It? Someone went to prison for trying to fence it. Why has the Department of Justice refused to release it?

Epstein's little black book was seized in a sting operation in 2009, when his butler tried to sell it to an undercover FBI agent. Where is it?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

“Abolishing gender programs & the lessons they have taught, will, Trump & his acolytes hope, undermine our ability not just to condemn, but also to critically analyze the policies & practices they want to impose.”

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Shameful.
