Today, @aaup.org @aaup-penn.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org outside Apollo Global Management's Midtown office to protest Marc Rowan's "Compact for Higher Education". PSC-CUNY President James Davis explains why this assault on higher ed undermines academic freedoms and our democracy itself.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Trump Hits Colombia With Tariffs in Feud Over Military Deportation Flights Gustavo Petro said that the United States should not treat Colombian migrants as criminals and that he had already turned away U.S. military flights carrying deportees.

Looks bad guys … but don’t worry, Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard are on the case.

unfortunately for the administration you cannot assert that a new and novel interpretation of the constitution is law with an executive order AND other constitutional officers have a say here too.

@jacobedenhofer.bsky.social Greetings Jacob. Recovering geochemist here. I teach the Green/Degrowth dialogue as part of my courses in Sustainability Science. I’m finding the articles you posted the other day useful. As a geochemist, my approach is ultra-materialistic; nice to follow some economists.
