Ya’ll, we gotta start seriously organizing on campus.

Get involved and fight for our sector.

💯

And the best way to do this is to organize and unionize with @aaup.org!

Join and get involved with or start a chapter at your university.

If you teach or conduct research at a college or university join and get active in the AAUP!

Trump Administration to Require Universities to Submit Data on Applicants’ Race

We’re going back to quotas on Black students in elite universities.

Finally got around to reading “On Tyranny.” It’s good that Snyder draws on his extensive knowledge of Europe but alarming that a book directed at US readers never mentions Jim Crow.

You’d think a story on Fateh’s effect on “DFLers outside the city” would talk to any of the several legislators outside the city (including Duluth, St. Cloud and the suburbs, where the real action is) who’ve actually endorsed Fateh. www.startribune.com/what-the-ris...

YouTube video by Colin Wright Deportee (Plane Crash At Los Gatos) Woody Guthrie

It's amazing how relevant "Deportee" remains 77 years after Woody Guthrie wrote it in response to a plane crash that killed 28 migrant farm workers being deported from California to Mexico. "You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane. All they will call you will be deportees."

College students and staff at universities across Minnesota are organizing new unions From student workers at Macalester College to residents at the University of Minnesota, new unions are forming in response to federal policy changes, declines in job security and inflation concerns.

Park gift shops could remove books on slavery and the Civil War Among the books flagged for possible removal were “The 1619 Project” and a book about former Interior secretary Deb Haaland.

Proud of my colleagues “In response to the administration’s actions, a group of historians, librarians and data experts at the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities has launched a “Save our Signs” project, encouraging people to post images of signs to preserve information that could be removed.”

Opinion | Democratic socialists deserve a seat at the table "Fateh, like New York’s Mamdani, is a compelling candidate gaining steam. Win or lose, their campaigns will show that the term democratic socialist is just another way of describing someone who wants ...

Gift Link: @ehbinmn.bsky.social "Win or lose, [Fateh and Mamdani] will show that the term democratic socialist is just another way of describing someone who wants to make the world a better place, and isn’t afraid to point out that government is how we come together to accomplish that."

This seems correct to me, but how does the Hudson river have a better tree score than downtown Minneapolis?

This is a remarkable proposal from Lonnie Bunch. Imagine if someone proposed replacing an item at The National Museum of African American History and Culture with a video of people responding to the object and discussing race. Sherald should not be the only one standing up to this intimidation.

So…not antisemitism.

How frustrating. Thanks for your work.

I rode Blaisdell a few days ago and someone had put a cone in the bike lane at an intersection, I assume to stop cars from entering. It seemed like a good place for a bollard. @minneapolismn.gov @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

Save Our Signs Save Our Signs: Celebrate All-American History

Extremely important effort here to document NPS signage to try to save it sites.google.com/umn.edu/save... Please spread the word through your networks that may be close to parks @learothawms.bsky.social @waterpotential.bsky.social @drangelasutton.bsky.social 1/2

Not an Ozzy fan, but two memories stand out. Walking into a friend's house as his sister blasted her new Crazy Train album from upstairs (must have been 1980); and seeing Black Sabbath perform War Pigs in 1999 with a large screen showing footage of Clinton, Hussein, and the bombing of Iraq.

Why do we bother to build car lanes when they don’t use them?

If they were serious they would take it up to 11.

William L. Clay, Missouri’s First Black Congressman, Dies at 94

“If you want equity, justice and equality, you must follow the lead of the civil rights movement, the student movement, the women’s movement. Become irritants, become abrasive. Your political philosophy must be selfish and pragmatic.” Bill Clay

Opinion | How higher education failed America’s poor For decades, policymakers claimed to expand college access. In reality, they rerouted poor students into the least valuable degrees.

This is one of the most important, and least understood, details in the value of higher education - it's benefits are reaped very differently by rich and poor students.

Within months, @mndot.mn.gov wants to remove all freeway removal options from its "Rethinking I-94" process--BEFORE the real environmental & health review

30 orgs, including 15 neighborhood associations, have signed onto this letter asking them to keep freeway removal in the mix

You can sign too!

Evie saves my fiancé and I tons of money providing access to a car for the rare occasions we need one while avoiding the massive expenses of car ownership. If you're thinking about getting a car, consider getting an Evie membership instead if you don't drive every day.
