Target doesn’t care about diversity and they don’t care about their workers. Target Corporation donated $1,000,000 to President Trump in January and this is the result - an economy of bigotry.

If you work at Target, organize. If you shop at Target, stop.

Workers deserve to be valued.

Critics of decolonial thought say that decolonial scholarship essentializes western thought. These critics, however, never really give an honest answer why their favorite philosophers outright supported colonialism. It’s not surprising that philosophers today justify genocide.

Kahlenberg TESTIFIED FOR THE PLAINTIFFS in the 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard case. Consciously or not, he has for years abetted the Trump campaign of anti-antiracism.

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

If you live in MA and identify as Jewish, please consider adding your name to this campaign. Read more below. The IHRA definition has been weaponized by Israel, by Likud, and by Trump to discredit opposition to Israeli apartheid and genocide

U.S. Jewish Institutions Are Purging Their Staffs of Anti-Zionists A months-long investigation found even the smallest hints of dissent are often met with unemployment.

I published this one year ago today, and the firings have continued. But so has the creation of a new Jewish communal infrastructure for those who feel uncomfortable with these large Federation, Hillel, and pro-Israel institutions. So expect my follow up on the emerging world of anti-Zionism Judaism

California AB288 | 2025-2026 | Regular Session Bill Text (2025-09-22) Employment: labor organization and unfair practices. [Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 3 p.m.]

Another win for the people: Gavin Newsom signed AB288! The law states that if the NLRB fails to respond to petitions to vindicate the rights of workers, then the CA Public Employment Relations Board can take up the matter - this is particularly important for ULPs!

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I’ve honestly felt very discouraged in continuing to seek out and plan for various small acts of resistance since we moved, especially calling our representatives regularly when it doesn’t seem to change the outcome.

The whole essay is worth your time, but this part helped me a lot today:

Republicans: β€œStop making everything about race.”

Really?

White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken.

America already made it about race.
