What a great article not only on faculty workloads, but how little our salaries actually factor in to most university budgets. A few highlights. First, our salaries are falling:

Matt Sledge, who was at the sentencing for the Prairieland defendants, and Mark Bray, author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” on the timeworn government strategies to stifle dissent.

NEW: Geraldo Lunas Campos repeatedly raised concerns about his mental health before he died at Camp East Montana. Records paint a portrait of how the Texas facility's staff failed to adequately respond. with @texastribune.org

this has been their 65 year project and a large part of the US public has swallowed it whole.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

BP execs were deeply involved in shaping a highly influential climate science paper. The authors not only discussed ideas with the oil company but, in a departure from academic norms, passed drafts back and forth and welcomed extensive feedback.

BREAKING: Melat Kiros has won the Democratic primary in Colorado’s 1st district. The democratic socialist has unseated the district’s 29-year incumbent by running on Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, ending forever wars and more.

Trump’s $2.2 billion dollar crypto “profit” isn’t from public purchases, they’re bribes. The scandal isn’t that Trump made that much money, it’s that he’s manufactured one scam after another that has made it possible for the wealthy and other nations to bribe him with impunity.

The Mamdani proposal of free buses is better. We need more universal public goods. But Hochul and Menin are against free buses. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/n...

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

Aber Kawas campaigned on affordable housing, universal healthcare, immigration reform, public transit, climate action and opposition to U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Is “radical centrist” the new term for a right wing conservative elitist NYT darling?

A temporary reprieve is not a win. Learn the difference.

Ruling against TPS for Haitians, the Trump justices on the Supreme Court have set a new impossible standard for proving discrimination against non-whites: if there is any other reason *in addition* to the racism, the racism doesn’t count www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

trump is stealing a golf course used by ordinary washingtonians and giving it to his rich friends

HAPPY PRIDE! FUCK ICE! FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE!

Every article in this issue is excellent. Are you all following @hammerandhope.bsky.social? Do you subscribe? I cannot recommend this publication any more highly. I subscribe and look forward to every issue.

“In a United States with liberty for billionaires and justice for none, what are we even celebrating?” Fantastic Sunday piece by my illustrious friend @willbunch.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/opinion/prai...

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

I also founded and co-direct a micro-press: sojourners4justice.press - we are the organizers of the Black Zine Fair in NYC.

This era of wealth concentration is even more gilded than the last.

This is the consensus of every major Israeli party, it's just completely forbidden to acknowledge that in American discourse or suggest that it should influence our policy towards Israel.

Alice Speri (@alicesperi.bsky.social) of @theguardian.com once again covering the actual story of what’s happening in HigherEd.

“Russell Vought is on a mission. He wants to take over all federal grant making and re-make it in his image. He is a dangerous ideologue who wants to inflict trauma on the whole nation. He is cruel and he has a plan. Only we can stop him,” Gonsalves writes. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If you want to know why both corporate Democrats and Republicans are freaking out about DSA on the TV, this is why. We’ve been living under a 50 year lie that good things are not possible in our politics and it only took six months in a major American city to show that it was a bipartisan scam.

I'm sorry, but the Democratic establishment doesn't get to say "these are low turnout primaries, they don't mean anything." Ritchie Torres, who unlike Espaillat and Goldman, *trounced* his primary challenger got a *total* of 24k votes. Chevalier got 33k Valdez got 38k Lander got 55k

@ilhanmn.bsky.social: Trump's gutting of Medicaid will strip coverage from millions of people, push hospitals into closure, and make an already broken health care system even worse. Only Medicare for All would ensure that people can get the care they need.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Hard to overstate what a huge deal this is for NYC residents--just a massive "I did exactly what I said I'd do" moment for the mayor. Can't wait to see who denounces or downplays it.

BREAKING NYT: A New York City panel just voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments — fulfilling one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's key campaign promises and handing the mayor a major policy win six months into his tenure.

what if they fought back against republicans instead

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate. ProPublica obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs. Here’s what we found. (Published Nov. 2024)

Three cybertrucks!

Call it the "I f*cked everything up, bail me out" bill. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Just found out the Congo fan who stands the entire game is doing it as a tribute to Patrice Lumumba and holy fuck do I want them to win the whole damn thing

it’s very funny the ny post made a pun of a tarantino movie (he lives in tel aviv these days)

Protecting workers from extreme heat will save lives. Kudos to Mayor Mamdani for demonstrating what good government actually looks like.

Congratulations to the young multi-racial coalition of New Yorkers who are demanding better.

Fresh off sweeping victories across NYC, Democratic socialists are kicking off their search for a 2028 candidate. DSA is asking members across all 250 chapters to weigh who they want to back in the next presidential election and why.
