"you know, I'm starting to think those guys aren't just fixing the power lines out there..."

suspected, lol

San Francisco Teachers out on strike, Kaiser lab workers joining the nurses, NYU contract faculty have a strike vote,
Cal State university teamsters are gearing up, NYC nurses have a tentative deal. Just a sampling.

Support the workers who are trying to support you.
Never cross a picket line.

A half-page ad in a newspaper reads “Lawrence is a union town. Tell KU: Stop Union-Busting! A fair contract for faculty is an investment in our community. Email KU Chancellor Girod today. United Academics of the University of Kansas, AFT, AAUP, AFL-CIO, @weareku, uaku.org.” A QR code leads to https://tinyurl.com/writeDoug to contact the chancellor.

It's like I respect that... For them

... and ICE is acting illegally with the other 8% as well

pro tip: do not turn your newspaper over to an oligarch who is post-newspaper.

KU faculty union still without contract nearly two years in; city commissioner urges progress Contract negotiations between KU’s administration and faculty union remain stalled after more than 600 days of bargaining, and a Lawrence city commissioner has joined those urging KU to end the delays...

Some good coverage of our contract fight. Yesterday marked one year since we passed our first compensation proposal. We are waiting for admin's latest counter after we corrected their math in the budget, and for their bargaining availability after they canceled on us twice. #UAKU #AFT #AAUP

We have got to stop treating elite institutions as if they are normative for academia. Anyone who uses (makes up) a word like "editoress" is more oligarch than anything else.

better yet, billions in punitive damages.

Abolish. There, I did the task for you.

This is a reminder that there is a deeply engrained cultural resistance to accepting that many people who are habitually revered as elites are actually monsters. It will take diligent work to adjust to the truth.

having a rapist out of the white house would be a great start.

I freaking ❤️ Chicago

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

20-some people of varying ages and genders raise fists and hold signs reading "Fair Contract Now" in a nondescript institutional meeting room.

The second time this month, management canceled a bargaining session, but we show up for each other. That's why it's bigger than a contract. #UAKU @weareku #AFT #AAUP

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

I mean it’s true that there are “paid agitators” in Minneapolis. There are 3000 of them and they’ve assassinated two people.

ICE is the invader. Abolition now.

now do ICE agents' arrest records

A combination of the Star Wars Rebel Alliance symbol and the Minnesota state bird. The Rebel Alliance symbol is a crescent shape that’s taller than it is wide, with a decorative flower or fountain forming a third spire in the middle. In this logo, a Minnesota Loon bird has its wings spread out and up for the side “wings.” For the middle spire, the loon’s head is looking up and to the right with one red eye visible.

Minnesota in rebellion against the empire.

Anti-ICE protesters fill the streets of downtown Minneapolis during an "ICE Out" rally on Jan. 23.
