New POLITICO report: Trump admin is “exploring options to sell parts of the government’s $1.6T student loan portfolio to the private market.” We're announcing our willingness to purchase the portfolio for its market value. We will then subsequently cancel the debt. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

"In this moment, the thing that will actually get us through this, is solidarity...It's up the federal workers that are actually in the building to do that, & that's what FUN is about. We make sure people know they are not alone." - FUN organizer Paul Osadebe. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgsW...

🚨 BREAKING: HUD just fired 2 of the 4 civil rights attorneys who blew the whistle on illegal discrimination, political interference & the dismantling of fair housing protections. This comes just one week after Sen. Warren called for an IG investigation. #ProtectWhistleblowers #FairHousing

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

🚨 HUD whistleblowers and federal unionists reveal Trump’s appointees have gutted civil rights protections in housing. Here’s what you need to know: 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/r...

It’s actually quite unstrategic to abandon vulnerable people in your coalition. It doesn’t make you look tough, it makes you look like a coward.

everybody go home and think about what you’ve done to our cultural memory

is it political violence when a trans woman dies because she was denied healthcare

In our latest, we break down the Trump administration's latest attacks on covid vaccines, key moments from RFK's Senate testimony last week, and why calls to force RFK out of HHS need to include removing many of the figures he's managed to bring in with him www.patreon.com/posts/138451663

Really thrilled this book is out in the world. I’ve been learning from and thinking with many of the contributors for well over a decade - and in some cases considerably more than that.

It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.

More than 2,000 workers in the Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine (ZCMC) in the town of Kajaran, Armenia—the largest industrial complex in the country— went on a wildcat strike for 11 days last February. longhaulmag.com/khudoyan-noi...

UMD forced to settle with SJP for $100k and readmit them as a student group in good standing after banning vigils, chalkings, etc. Probably the largest such settlement for a pro-Palestine org in the US.

Slovenia becomes the first EU country to ban all arms trade with Israel, calling it a “duty” to respond to the denial of aid into Gaza and pledging further measures against Israel in the coming weeks. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/jaafpx

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

We should abolish the U.S. Supreme Court.

I’m out here in Camarillo, CA, with @acatwithnews.bsky.social, where hundreds of demonstrators have gathered to protests today’s raids. As we walk up, you can hear hundreds chanting. Lots of press here as well

🚨 New @therealnews.com: I had the honor of speaking w/ Pulitzer Prize-winning author @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social about the reality immigrants face in the US & the connection between rising authoritarianism at home & violent American imperialism abroad @thenation.com therealnews.com/america-nati...

Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, an organizer with the Los Angeles-based Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, was picked up by men in an unmarked car last Wednesday, and nobody knows where she is. She made a phone call late Friday and the information she gave is chilling:

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is an extinction-level event for higher education that would annihilate the country’s intellectual potential. For @newrepublic.com, we wrote about Trump's plot to Un-Educate America. newrepublic.com/article/1970...

Having writers as good as @astra.bsky.social and Eleni break this nightmare of a bill down for us is a goddam miracle

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

To correct the record here: nothing about this was a publicity stunt. New Yorkers have been doing accompaniments and court-watch shifts every day for weeks. This was @bradlander.bsky.social’s third shift. It happened out of nowhere.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

medicaid is supposed to be a lifeline for people. the foundational promise of a good society should be food, housing, and health. republicans want to break that for medicaid. and tomorrow we'll see text from the ag committee - where they'll call to break it for food, too.

finally for medicaid, they're MANDATING cost sharing (copays, etc.) for adults above 100% of the poverty line. maximum of $35 per service, and max of 5% of your income. so if you make 20k, a state might slap $1k of fees onto your medicaid. true sicko shit!!!!

onto work requirements. important to note that work requirements are actually all about *reporting* on your work. states that have implemented work requirements have led to disaster with huge numbers of people who are working still being kicked off their medicaid. this would be a federal mandate.

Energy & Commerce text is out. Will go through it in this thread. tl;dr: this'd be the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking millions off their health insurance, leading to tens of thousands of additional deaths each year LOTS of bad stuff in this (but the very worst policy did not make it in)

THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS HAVE CLINCHED THE #1 SEED IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE!!!!!

Today higher ed workers, students, and communities are standing up to demand our elected leaders Kill The Cuts! Federal funding is critical for research and education that benefits us all. Here's a thread of action photos! Starting with this rally currently happening in LA:

we live in an extraordinarily wealthier society than our parents and grandparents. our problem is that we have not invested enough of that wealth in social goods, but i don’t think anyone actually wants to return to a time when even a “good” factory job was backbreaking labor

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Today @debtcollective.bsky.social joined hundreds on Long Island at one of over 1k #handsoff protests happening across the county. Who wins under this budget? Billionaires. Corporations. War profiteers. They want us to lose, by driving us deeper into debt.
