My ambition for higher ed is being humbled by high school students who can't even read at a grade level. I am considering becoming a teacher because I think my work there would be more impactful and meaningful. Here I am grieving the decline of critical thinking when we can't even read or write.

"reap what you sow" But I didn't sow any of this!? 😭

You cannot stop your children from being informed about sex. You can let them get a barrage of irrelevant, vulgar MISINFORMATION from the internet, such as porn, Reddit, etc. It will be incomprehensible, unsupervised, inappropriate, and damaging to their brains. Or,

Foucault really laughing down at us.

I’m begging y’all. Please get off Substack! Nazis gonna Nazi, but you don’t have to help them.

Substack, as expected, escalates toward hyper-disinfo. Remember, folks: The tech bros tearing down our country are the major forces behind this monstrosity. Choose your future wisely.

Dear friends still using Substack, if Rachel can #LeaveSubstack, so can you. See leavesubstack.com

okay really though it's time to leave substack

One thing I will miss about being on substack is using substack to talk shit about substack. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

MAKE GUILLOTINES GREAT AGAIN!

Trying out this UpScrolled thing if anyone else is on there! share.upscrolled.com/en/user/3000...

TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover

Dissent is a threat deserving death. That's the story.

It's "swim down" time, folks. This only works if we all do it together. We can.

9 years ago, Peter Mansbridge was taken aback in a CBC News interview when Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Khalifa of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, warned of Trump's actions causing a civil war in America.

The US is in the early stages of a civil war.

So, when are we going to talk about the self-help books to right wing politics pipeline?

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

Vince Staples sparking the revolution in a ziwe interview is an amazing end to 2025.

I think the ”super radical” takes that Mamdani is a counter revolutionary phenomenon are extremely tired arm chair shit Also he is gonna be Mayor of NYC so anyone who was expecting him to lead the revolution either works for the NY Post or doesn’t understand the system or both

Volunteered to pack some whistles tonight. Planning to distribute a bunch of these to my local mini libraries.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Can't stop thinking about the fact that the government is literally slashing public service jobs while bringing in AI for use in the public service. They are literally doing, as a government, what we scream at tech bros for doing to their employees. Pretty gross!

We’re hiring! Our new resume portal is live, and we’re looking for top talent in NYC to help build this administration and deliver on our affordability agenda. Could that be you? Apply using the link below. transition2025.com/apply

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Lmao

Yes sir, the work now just begun.

MAYOR MAMDANI!!!!!

Al-hamdulillah!! A start of a revolution!

THIS is how you run political campaign. On the ground, with the people. Not getting millions from capitalists while you sit far above the people in your luxury home.

Any self respecting, politically aware human would know that whoever Trump and Musk are supporting is definitely not the right choice.

1. ​The NYPD spends $11 BILLION annually in total public funds. 2.​ To make EVERY bus ride FREE for every resident would only cost $708 MILLION. 3. ​The additional cost for UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE for every child in the city would be less than $2 BILLION. So yes, I'm certain he can deliver.

This a why a true leader looks like. A servant of the people, not a power abusing tyrant.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Fourteen years later, I *still* think one of the best ways for us to repudiate Cheney's legacy of torture would be to recognize and honor the courageous soldiers and public servants who exposed the torture policies and tried to end them. www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/o...

Locked in with @arimelber.bsky.social.

This man has single handedly revived the political spirit of hundreds and thousands, not just in the US but acorss the world. May the Mamdani wave come for us all, inshaAllah!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

DO NOT FUMBLE THIS NYC. Vote for your saviour, not the rapist!

Well have you? If not, here's where: zohranfornyc.com/vote

Opinion polls show that Democrat Zohran Mamdani holds a clear lead over independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa as voting in the NYC mayoral election gets underway. 🟠 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/397phk

Robots are people but people are not people.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

On Election Day, the president announces that he will defy a court order so as to deprive millions of Americans of food.

The choice is clear as day: Trump and Musk for Cuomo vs. our campaign for change.

Yesterday, Ari Melber asked Zohran Mamdani why he was a socialist, and he answered "because I believe in the dignity of all human beings." It's time to stop being afraid of being called socialists. Yes, this is a subtweet of Third Way and Matty you know who.

Fascism Is Here. How Do We Fight Back? The Democratic leadership needs fighters willing to embrace an economic populist message that takes on the billionaires and Donald Trump's fascist march. The masses can rise up and demand that change. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
