lol just read an article about why Gen X women have mental health struggles and it says it's surprising given that we had such great feminist role models "like Elizabeth Wurtzel" and thanks dumb trend article I haven't laughed this much in weeks.

It's made up so why pick one. Reproductive rights, voting rights, record stores, video rental stores, my mom and grandparents, my skin tone and energy levels.

My teen angst bullshit has a body count.

"Sleeper" was not a documentary.

One way this moment has radicalized me is I don't bring this self-hate out in public. My colleagues are fucking awesome and we're sick of this shit.

A guy who, like the best teachers can both talk clearly and not dumb it down!

funny when we college professors say ”the rent is too high” they call us a bunch of commIes.

Happy pub day to @arjunjayadev.bsky.social and @jwmason.bsky.social! Hope to see you all on Friday.

Happy to report my NYC public school 8th grader said he just learned that there were many Black reps. in congress during this period and then none from 1900-1970. I definitely did not learn this in junior high or high school.

I’m so beyond proud of and excited for @jwmason.bsky.social who had poured his brilliance and curiosity into this book while also being and amazing teacher, dad and partner.

📢 HOCHUL: OUR LIVES OR YOUR DONORS? NYers are occupying the Gov’s office to demand she Tax the Rich to defend our Medicaid $ home care! Hochul must decide: lifesaving care for New Yorkers, or the interests of her billionaire donors? The cuts we’re seeing in the coming months are just the beginning.

@bradlander.bsky.social at today's @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social rally at City Hall Park. Organizers including @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social are calling for a morartorium on "A.i." in the NYC public schools.

NEW YORK CITY: May 4th, join archivists, activists, and scholars for an evening of study & strategizing for resisting the new McCarthyism on college campuses. Featuring our own Mariame Kaba. Register here ⬇️

My love for our mayor is matched only by my intense shame at our senators

My book Against Money, coauthored with Arjun Jayadev, is coming out from University of Chicago Press on May 5. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Bumping this again, because it is extremely important. Giving the powers that be even more opportunities to limit free speech, especially at schools, is outrageous, and this bill should not be signed by @mayor.nyc.gov or passed again by the City Council. 🧵 with details below.

I think that as economists we should be a lot more concerned that everyone feels like they've got poorer when the data show they haven't. We certainly shouldn't just be assuming that the customers are wrong, rather than that we're no longer measuring things that are most relevant to wellbeing

Drop everything and listen to @mollycrabapple.bsky.social being interviewed about her new book on the Jewish Labour Bund in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Absolutely riveting history. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

"If Swalwell was guilty, his accusers would file charges" is a thing I keep seeing. But here's the thing: it's absolutely NOT how the system works. ONLY PROSECUTORS CAN FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES IN THE US LEGAL SYSTEM.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

if you’ve got kids who are getting into Artemis, do yourself a favor and get this one, perhaps the most beautiful picture book I ever read with mud kids.

This happened when they put a shelter in an abandoned dorm right near our place. Lots of fear mongering and once it was built the only neighborhood chatter to Donate toys at Christmas.

I wrote about Oedipus and the relevance question and listening.

I’m a critic of “first narratives” but a sucker for space—and yes, it is historic on a species scale (and given all women have done to birth and rear humanity) to see a woman astronaut, finally, see Mother Earth in her fullness with her own eyes

I just finished reading Ross Perlin's beautiful, brilliant Language City. If NYC earns its self-regard, it's only because of its immigrants and their descendants, and those of the internal refugees from the Jim Crow south. take that away and we are nothing

This is extra offensive for 2 reasons: 1) Students at my campus are organizing like crazy to stand up to ICE. It is inspiring. 2) The last time they protested a war the NYPD stormed the campus, beat a bunch of them up, and then the city installed perimeter fencing that has been up for 2 years…

Please amplify: today @cuny.edu faculty, students, staff and the @psc-cuny.org delivered 5000 letters to @cunychancellor.bsky.social condemning political blacklisting at CUNY and calling for the rehiring of the Fired Fourth.

1 In our latest for The Intercept, Afeef reports from the streets of Beirut, sharing stories of some of the 1 million Lebanese displaced by US-Israel, who are in addition to the 3.2 million displaced by US-Israel in Iran. Some highlights: theintercept.com/2026/03/22/b...

"nobody is doing anything" remains a lie meant to soothe the person saying the words. It's not true. YOU may not be doing anything but a lot of people are.

Having the face of Palestine solidarity and anti-Zionism in NYC be a charismatic young cosmopolitan who clearly genuinely loves Jewish people and culture was an gift beyond imagination that any Jewish leader or organization worthy of the name should have thanked the heavens for and embraced.

Royer Perez-Jimenez was 19 years old. He died by suicide at 3am on March 16 at Glades County Detention Center in Florida. He is the 2nd person to die in ICE custody this week, the 13th this year, and the 42nd under Trump. 🧵

I wrote about the decision to engage in tax resistance for @currentaffairs.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-im-...

It's been known for a long time that Cesar Chavez was abusive, that he engaged in cultlike behavior. There has been backchannel discussion of sexual abuse. But today's revelations are new, and it does nobody any good to act like folks who are shocked and troubled by them are dupes or fools.

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

after Charlie Kirk died pundits like Ezra Klein praised his "hard conversations" with students. under the higher ed backlash he helped start, the real hard-to-have conversations are about gender, race, sexuality, protest. the feminists touring colleges with academic bans: @us.theguardian.com

Harris accused Altman of being the “Goebbels of the Trump administration.” But on Tuesday, Harris said by email: “It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should’ve said Friedrich Flick.”

Yes,the emerging line is wily, ruthless Israel tricked poor, trusting, naive Donald Trump into a stupid, reckless war. GMAFB. Israel has absolutely pushed for this but ultimately it’s DONALD TRUMP who decided to take the US to war. He likes war! He likes blowing things up! He literally says it’s fun

The 90s are calling and they want their performance studies majors back.

The political education mayor

Leqaa Kordia has been a victim not just of Trump’s deportation agenda but the criminalization of Palestinian identity for which the Biden admin and university leaders bear considerable blame. What a relief that she is free and shame on everyone who helped put her in that cell
