Geez, I wonder what happened

So despite the ICE abduction this morning, Columbia didn’t take any steps to cancel classes or move them remote. No idea how noncitizen community members are supposed to feel safe showing up to study or work today.

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.

All Cops Are Babies

I’m curious to hear the union’s counter proposal. Here’s a possible one: teach the children yourselves then

This proposal of the administration’s sounds bargainable to me

Just put the pronouns in your bio lil bro

You will all listen to kreashawn

WOKE IS BACK BABY
MAKE OAKLAND CALIFORNIA THE US CAPITOL NOW!

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

From Virginia Woolf's notes about her first experience with T.S. Eliot: "a polished, cultivated, elaborate young American, talking so slow, that each word seems to have a special finish allotted it."

damn girl lol

Having to watch shit like this go completely unchecked on a day like today of all days is absolutely fucking intolerable

It will take decades for the US to recover from the institutional damage that the Trump administration has done to science agencies. Which of course is the point.

Who is leading the fight against the Trump admin attack on universities & our communities throughout this country?

Unions are!

@senbillferg.bsky.social @mddems.bsky.social & @mdhousedems.bsky.social, help us help defend democracy & MD universities by passing our collective bargaining bill!

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

People tell me all the time that Waymo is bad because Google is unaccountable.

In other news, humans are so accountable that this woman who killed a whole family will (checks notes) be getting her driver’s license back in her mid-80s after (checks notes) transferring all her assets.

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.

Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

I think all the best 21st century politicians will combine systems thinking with communication skills

we live in the most complex version of every economic relation ever, and so many policy and material outcomes exist downstream from these configurations

it needs diagnosis AND explanation

I'll blame whoever the fuck I want

I don’t know what this is called but I’m pretty sure it’s the cure for male loneliness

You can say it isn’t spring but I won’t believe you

The sunrise is spilling onto the first Indian paintbrushes of spring

BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

You’re shitty too my good bitch. Mocking the 33% who did not vote for this and wishing collective punishment on them from the comfort of anonymity makes you a fucking douchebag. Eat shit and grow up

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

The silence of US elites about this remains stunning & utterly damning.

Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:
