Guess I'll post this again

A story that should shock our collective conscience: After Trump Cuts to Kenya Food Aid, Children Died of Starvation

Please support our colleagues at the New School. @newschoolaaup.bsky.social

going to work at a local cafe during exam period as a faculty member is like being a cop sent to the same prison where he sent a bunch of inmates

The New School has long protected dissenting thought and critical scholarship. It is painful to watch an institution with such an intellectual lineage treated as a budgetary problem. At a moment defined by democratic erosion, we need the New School’s founding vision more than ever! #AcademicSky

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

It fits with the fact that the project of Trump II is the overthrow of not only the social state of the New Deal, the regime of citizenship of Reconstruction, or even the republicanism of the Revolution, but even the legislative supremacy of the Glorious Revolution. It's Springtime for Stuarts.

what’s up Joyce hear me out on this…Joyce Carol x Goats…cd be very powerful collab…hmu

There is a lot of news about the New School right now, and tuning in to facts can be tough. Here is @kmunro-econ.bsky.social with important ones:

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

The hatred that this sundowning degenerate has for the American people is shocking.

INFO REQUEST: if you work at a *private* university/college AND your institution defines academic freedom as applying to academic & professional staff (librarians, museum workers, instructional staff, athletic staff) can you please DM me with your institution & if possible a link to the policy?

My book Injury Impoverished: Something Law Something Something Capitalism came out 5 (!) yrs ago so I figure it's already reached anyone interested. Most recent academic thing I did's an article using a famous legal case to argue labor historians should be marxister www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

WE JUST KEEP WINNING. (UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program RESTORED!!!!)

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

What if, hear me out, we didn’t need insurance companies because we just had a nationalized health care system that didn’t waste enormous sums of money on insurance companies.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

BREAKING: Starbucks baristas at Downtown Disney couldn’t stand another day of their managers’ unfair labor practices & kicked off our nationwide strike this weekend. These workers have shut down one of largest Starbucks stores in the country — and we’re just getting started! #NoContractNoCoffee

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I have to say, in the long history of “Marx failed to consider” takes by internet reply-guys, “Marx failed to consider the use-value of warm coats” should win its own category of award

if you worked for teen vogue, in any capacity, i want you to know that your work inspired me and made a difference in the world. it really did.

Whether generative AI is 'here to stay' is secondary to the fact that it is a fraudulent means of communication.

No to war with Venezuela.

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

Entire homily—and Mass, tbh—was about food insecurity and SNAP ending and ongoing work to mitigate the wave that’s coming. Not unusual for the Franciscans but it’s always good for people who aren’t SNAP beneficiaries to hear numbers and think about the choices facing many in our parish & community.

E.P. Thompson: "History is a cultural form within which we fight and many have fought before us. Nor are we alone when we fight there for we are historians because we know that the past is not dead, inert, and confining, but is strong with energies which can brought once again to our side."

In the last week, Trump tore down a portion of the White House, claims that a friend of his is paying the military, posted a video of him dumping shit on the American people, demanded hundreds of millions of dollars from DoJ, and unleashed vicious ICE agents on peaceful American cities.

Important update from two months into my “experiment” (lol) assigning college juniors and seniors to read whole physical books and then having a seminar where they use the physical book and physical notebooks and their ideas and questions to fill three hours of class time: It rules

A privately funded military is the end of republican government

Today, with a 31-4-6 vote, BSU's Faculty Council approved our resolution on Free Expression! bsuaaup.com/fc-resolutio... This shows that faculty across 31 depts remain concerned about the firing of an employee for private statements and are not ready to forget the threat this poses to us all.

Bring back earnestness and sincerity as virtues...

Today I worked with Adam Smith's copy of Hobbes's "Leviathan" (1651)
