what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

I’m an American and I hate all of this evil shit. All of it. Fuck you if you don’t.

Save the new school for social research from the terrible financial decisions of their board and president. Fire them not teachers. www.e-flux.com/notes/678343...

There is an absolute fucking scandal going down at The New School, wherein at appears that the university is funnelling to a MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL’S BOARD while purging faculty and staff. This should be headline news. x.com/uaw7902/stat...

My colleagues and I wrote a thing, we want a university this is driven by the interests of students and teachers not administrators. www.resource-online.nl/index.php/20...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Wow, caring infrastructures work ! www.vox.com/policy/46963... #feministcity

“After weighing all perspectives, Avrotros concludes that, under the current circumstances, participation cannot be reconciled with the public values that are fundamental to our organisation.” clearer ethical principles than @w-u-r.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

They should invent a university that prioritizes teaching and research

Care for my students has now extended to care for their fermentation babies, how did this happen ?

A new meditation app that embraces climate breakdown. Breathe in profit. Breathe out responsibility. If you’ve ever had problems with anxiety from being a fossil fuel executive, this is the app for you. Brought to you by @olifro.st

Congratulations Dr. Kristina Ulm, for leading this exciting research on the governance of public gardening in Sydney. Thrilled to see this out. Spoiler: let the people garden !

@prorail.bsky.social Ede Wageningen station is an insult to anyone with a disability or a small child. It is impossible to get from the bike parking to the station in a wheel chair or stroller, and there is insufficient bakfiets parking.

child friendly bathroom at Lisbon airport. They also have free strollers and a big soft play area. #feministcity

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

Thrilled to be listening to demands for and inspiring examples of the right to food and food as commons at the @ec.europa.eu @ecolise.bsky.social policy dialogue on Housing and Food ecolise.eu/event/housin... #foodstudies

He is proposing five municipal grocery stores

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Farhana Sultana is a tenured , full prof & a prominent critic of right wing supremacies. RW extremists are targeting her for exercising her 1A rights. Worse her institution has shamefully caved to political pressure and placed her on leave. An atrocious violation of academic freedom. Please sign.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.

"We have decades of evidence that [agroecology] is working all over the world," Associate Professor Timothy Bowles writes in an @nytopinion.nytimes.com letter to the editor. "What we haven’t had is the political will to make it the foundation of our food system." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

The Palestinian photojournalist who Israel killed an hour ago, Yahia Barzaq, was a newborn photographer. I’m sharing here some of his photography.

Why is it that when children are murdered in their schools, it doesn’t get nearly as much attention as Charlie Kirk? In fact, it gets almost none.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Noor. Noor was four months pregnant when this began- her home was bombed and she lost that baby and she barely survived. She had her second baby Jihad while living in a tent. Her husband’s legs were recently crushed while trying to get aid.

It’s time for the white community to stop playing the victim & have an uncomfortable conversation about violence, parental responsibility & the families raising the thugs causing all the white-on-white violence in Republican-controlled cities. Maybe it’s their culture Did I do it right?

Watching a series about an academic who is a witch who falls for a vampire. It is not better than Buffy, and yet…all I can think about is how she is never gonna finish her research or complete that overdue publication #academicsky

500,000 people being slowly and quickly murdered, in this round, so Israel can take over Gaza and advance the project of erasing Palestine from the map and establishing their nation from the river to the sea. I wish we could stop them. I feel so helpless!

Ramadan and his sweet kids need help chuffed.org/project/1230...

I just had a very real conversation with Hamam. He is very frustrated and fighting for his family. I understand. I can see that his love is boundless and it made me realize that just because I don’t want to think about pain sometimes doesn’t mean it goes away. I hope we can help him.

No crimes. No goodbyes to her infant daughter. Heidy was forcibly removed from the U.S. in 48 hours. We should all be furious. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121 #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

Someday I hope to live in a world where subway sandwiches have replaced guns in the second amendment. May we all have the right to defend ourselves from facism with a subway sandwich.
