I really do think we’re going to have to rebuild post-secondary education from the ground up

I think it's an error to consider this a fumble. For the authorities all of this stuff is a feature, not a bug.

Listen to the audio in the Under the Shadow podcast. The shit they say when they think no one is listening is HORRIFYING.

Every PD, everywhere: “We’re not working with ICE, except like, every time”

When Blair and his tech billionaires come with demands to pay workers less, the Labour government caves in 48 hours Workers rights are not rights at all unless applied to one and all. Pay all workers the same rate for the same job. Now.

Some of the best teachers at @thenewschool.bsky.social got fired this week, including people who won university-wide teaching awards THIS MONTH.

What does it take to unionize factories today, especially in the South? In the last two years, bus manufacturing workers secured first union contracts and a national master agreement across New Flyer facilities in three states @keithbrowerbrown.bsky.social reports: labornotes.org/2026/05/bus-...

I have a new article out in Labor, I'd appreciate if you'd read it. Thank you! read.dukeupress.edu/labor/articl...

The campaign to impose narrow political loyalty on universities continues… “These are hugely sweeping changes that are just going to completely undermine the accountability system as we know it in higher education.”

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is one of the oldest newspapers in the country. Now, former staffers say new ownership has gutted the newsroom and purged former strikers. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social asks, "What happens when a city loses the journalists who know it best?"

A rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin company exploded on the launchpad Thursday, creating a massive fireball that could be seen for miles. The total development cost for the "New Glenn" rocket program is $2.5 billion, with an estimated $110 million dollars per launch.

Virginia's many data centers have 10,500 diesel generators, according to the Washington Post. Those generators hurt lung health and worsen cardiovascular conditions for people in the area. /1

She is doing a victory lap for starving 4 million people already living in poverty, in the state experiencing the worst SNAP cuts, Arizona, where nearly half of all SNAP recipients have lost their benefits since last year because of backlogs and cuts www.azfamily.com/2026/05/27/t...

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

a time-honored tradition for key affiliates of disintegrating Nazi regimes

"Members of the union, along with Cambridge City Council members, joined workers calling on the hotel — owned by KSL Capital Partners — to begin negotiations after employees say they submitted a petition to unionize back in March." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/s...

Immigrant detainees at Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ have been forced to cook, clean, & repair the facility for as little as $1/day and sometimes for free. They are on a hunger & labor strike; protesters outside have been tear-gassed. Here's our report, including a quote from a detainee:

within an hour of this moment—detainees inside and protesters and supporters outside communicating briefly with flashing lights—ICE began beating protesters with batons and pepper spraying them. some had to seek medical treatment. one was pushed into a 18 wheeler that then ran over their foot.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

More than 4,000 members of the @hgsuuaw.bsky.social have been on strike since 4/21, demanding pay that keeps up with cost of living, real recourse for harassment and discrimination, support for non-citizen students and more. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social reports: inthesetimes.com/article/4000...

This is blatantly racist and disgusting, coming from the most corrupt president in modern US history

BDS VICTORY! Last night, the Park Slope Food Coop ratified a boycott of all Israeli goods, passing the vote with a wide margin of 2 to 1 at a meeting that saw record-breaking turnout. Congratulations to the years of organizing by members which made this historic win possible!

Samsung has about 78,000 people in its semiconductor division, and while bonuses will vary the average comes out to a stunning $340,000 per worker. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Samsung just averted a strike by granting chip workers an average bonus of about $340,000. The union made a credible strike threat that would have threatened the global chip supply, and Samsung, predicted to be the 2nd most profitable company on Earth this year, caved to worker demands. /1

Anybody who was conscious in 2024 knows the DOJ and NYPost are lying, attributing the violence perpetrated by a coalition of Zionists and Nazis to the victims they sent to the hospital. Here's what really happened: www.bostonreview.net/articles/ucl...

Trump & Co. are trying to stop legal immigration too. Vile and destructive. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-qui...

They will lay me off, they will end my health insurance, they will raise my rent until I can't afford it anymore, they will destroy the tools I use by making them shittier or subscription-based or both; everything I depend on or enjoy will be Disrupted for some boy-king dipshit's funding round

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

This whole fraud rebrand with JD Vance is just repackaging and reselling the same misleading and false claims made by DOGE www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

A few weeks ago, Trump's Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy was confronted by a DACA holder set to lose his CDL. Duffy said "well, it shouldn't" when asked why the policy prevents the driver from keeping his CDL, contradicting his agency's own policy www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XuS...

The charges against our union brother Kilmar Abrego Garcia have been dismissed after more than a year of pain and separation for him and his family. Immigrant workers deserve the same rights, dignity, and due process as every other worker in this country.

“They are not declaring it, but it is like martial law here.” In the Philippines, @alessandrabergamin.bsky.social reports, communities resisting mining, hydropower, ecotourism and other projects are facing bombings, curfews, military occupation and accusations of terrorism.

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

These civic schools are designed to deal a final death blow to faculty governance in general and the humanities in particular, moving teaching and hiring out of departments and into ideological silos. And they’re being aided by taxpayer $ through the Trump NEH.

threw me under the bus in the time between me recording a podcast where I say ‘he used to be slightly woker on trans rights, but we’ll see how long that lasts’ and us editing and releasing it

Workers at major Hearst newspapers have filed unfair labor practice charges against the media company over regressive bargaining, delays, and retaliation @albanyguild.bsky.social @newsguild.org www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

People with “gender critical beliefs” getting it included in government guidance that you can’t call them horrible transphobic bastards is so wild like I don’t have to spend billions lobbying for legal documents to get people to like me, have you tried being a nice person instead

REI co-op members won't be silenced! On Wednesday, longtime members set up camp outside the Seattle flagship store in solidarity with @reiunion workers, who called for a boycott of the Anniversary Sale, which runs through Monday, May 25.

My friend and comrade Alex Colston has been violently detained again by the Israeli state. Please call to push for his release. Free them all, from the river to the sea.

The Korea Starbucks cruelty is getting even more sickening. These are the far-right MAGA Koreans who want their fascist coup leader back after he was impeached, arrested, and convicted of his crimes. "Far-right Koreans rally around Starbucks, use AI-generated dictator to promote coffee chain."
