I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

On va juste répéter continuellement les faits : L'usage de L'IA GÉNÉRATIVE est facultatif détruit l'environnement écologique, renforce le capitalisme, enrichie les patrons et est l'outil assumé du fascisme. À gauche, si vous utilisez ça, vous agissez contre les conviction que vous prétendez avoir

A nationwide day of disruption has started in France, “Bloquons Tout” (Block Everything). Triggered by new austerity measures, the call demands a total halt to work, consumption & banking activity — “We don’t pay. We don’t consume. We don’t work.” Stay tuned for more from France. #BloquonsTout

Pareil, je voulais me mobiliser mais j’ai dû renoncer sous peine de me manger mes dead lines (ce qui, malheureusement, n’affecterait personne à part moi), mais si vous êtes dans la rue aujourd’hui sachez que vous avez toute ma gratitude, et si le mouvement se poursuit je vous rejoindrai ASAP !

If you can read Spanish, I hope you like Sofón, Issue 1. It includes 17 SFF short stories and poems in Spanish, which I really enjoyed reading, editing, and putting together. Sofón is the third speculative fiction magazine from Mexico that pays its authors. I also did the cover art ^u^
