The anti-war president and aspiring Nobel Peace Prize winner . . .

Todd Wolfson, AAUP President, warned of a more “militant” response on campuses in the fall – including possible mass strikes. “We’re going to need to politicize this fight. It’s not an economic strike on our job conditions – it’s a political strike for the future of the sector.” #DefendHigherEd

Greetings BlueSky, we are the George Washington University Chapter of the @aaup.org. Our mission is to advance academic freedom & shared governance at our university and beyond. #academicbluesky #defendhighered

GWU-AAUP calls on the university administration to work collaboratively with the faculty and broader university community to resist this attempt to mischaracterize and suppress student protesters and to destroy free speech and academic freedom. 5/5

It is incumbent upon any university administration to fight campus racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, & other forms of bias, identity-based hatred, & oppression. Ironically, efforts at Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion have exactly this aim, yet they are under attack from Trump’s administration. 4/

Today, the George Washington U chapter of the AAUP responded to the Trump DOJ's threats to crush academic freedom: "This dangerous conflation of campus protest w/ antisemitism is designed to rule legitimate political speech out of bounds by mischaracterizing the motivations of those engaged in it."

Here are free lessons for Clint Smith's "How the Word Is Passed" including two that engage students in examining how history of slavery is remembered (or hidden, lied about) in public spaces. Students are invited to design their own commemorations. ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/lessons...

#tdih 2017 "I want to try to leave a legacy on Earth. To create a world that is kinder and gentler for Black and brown youth, for queer youth, for poor youth." -- Takiyah Thompson on toppling Confederate statue in Durham. 🧵 Poster by @justseeds.bsky.social www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ac...

Media critic Jay Rosen says a tactic of authoritarian leaders like Trump is to "reject reality on a sweeping scale, and discredit the whole idea that we can know what’s happening in our world. Instead of jailing journalists, nullify the real." Read my Q&A with @jayrosen.bsky.social.

There is no "white genocide" in South Africa. Instead, poor and working class Black people are the ones being screwed over by both white supremacists and the Black elites in the African National Congress, contrary to the lies Trump and Musk peddle. hammerandhope.org/article/musk...

Our political discourse pits identity politics against economic populism. But the choice is false and contributes to incredible confusion about the working class across the political spectrum. For @hammerandhope.bsky.social I show why and sketch an alternative (sorry to crosspost):

First new article of the year is in @hammerandhope.bsky.social, examining the solidarity work happening between Venezuelan migrants and long term Black residents at Concord Missionary Baptist Church in Woodlawn, Chicago. Hope is so hard to come by, and I wanted to share where I'm finding mine.

Aww yeah. That new fire just dropped!

According to ICE, 86% of the detainees at Minnehaha County are men. 100% of detainees at Minnehaha County have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

Tulsi #Gabbard - revisionist? Ask Susan Sarandon. In 2019 Gabbard sounded off against #government #corruption and #lies, at #BernieSanders’ Institute with lefties, Susan #Sarandon, Ben Jealous, Radhika Balakrishnan, Jim Zogby. She’s revised her entire persona since. Her credibility is ZERO.

Man! What an honor to be listed as one of Time Magazine's top 100 podcasts of all time! hope Uncivil's popularity demonstrates that people can appreciate history even when it challenges myths & tells hard truths. Maybe even especially when it does that. time.com/colle.../100...

NEW: Former NYPD Commissioner Thomas Donlon has sued Mayor Eric Adams and other top police officials, accusing Adams of running the force as a “criminal enterprise." The suit draws extensively from a recent ProPublica investigation into a NYPD unit Adams championed. By @ericumansky.bsky.social

This book is incredible. His perspective as an Egyptian, raised in Doha, who emigrated to Canada, gives him such a unique aperture to critique liberalism in the West and the regimes he departed from.

“We’ve got about 26 Republican targets. We need four of them. This is not a done deal.“ @ezralevin.bsky.social highly encourages you to stop doomscrolling and start contacting your representative. We can still defeat Trump’s Tax Scam and save Medicaid and SNAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
