The president of St. John's University's announcement that the school will no longer recognize its two faculty unions is a shameful union-busting move. SJU faculty have been working for 236 days without a contract.

We need to emphasize here that the school refused to sue or do anything about this. It was only the action of faculty groups and unions that brought this to court.. and won.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I think the ‘less obvious’ politics here is that the entire thing started off with workers in the fields and ended with community dancing and emerging in solidarity from the fields. I think it’s beautiful that he named every country and all the peoples voices rising up- AND-

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

“It cannot be denied that the university is a place of refuge, and it cannot be accepted that the university is a place of enlightenment…” --Fred Moten & Stefano Harney, 2013

Woohoo!

Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important

Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

NOW!!

Dozens of CDC databases are not being updated - most related to vaccines, study finds The agency plays a key role in tracking disease spread and vaccination rates. Last year, it seemed to back away from some of that work, according to new research.

The CDC is not tracking any data related to vaccinations.

My job (I’m an epidemiologist) is no longer relying upon federal rates but switching to state registries for comparison disease tracking. But states like Louisiana and Florida are also unreliable.

May our children forgive us.

That's pretty generous...

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold.

As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

The Unspeakable, Enabled This year will decide whether gendered abuse in real life and online becomes the norm.

“We are now facing an urgent choice as to whether we submit to the entrenched hatred and abuse of women as a technological and cultural norm, or whether we fight for an alternative way forward,” @sophiegilbert.bsky.social argues.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
