I forgot to share this here. My mistake!

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Turning DC into Moscow (or East Berlin from back in the day).

Working people need our leaders in power to work for them and put their interests first. A wasteful birthday military parade does nothing to help working families pay their bills, lower their costs, or keep their health care.

The birthday parade money could pay for 4 million Meals on Wheels meals, enough to cover 10,000 hungry and isolated seniors for an entire year.

$45 million could pay for GI Bill benefits for 3,000 veterans, showing our nation’s thanks to our brave soldiers with the college or vocational training we promised after their service.

$45 million could provide more than 10 million school lunches, enough to feed 56,000 hungry kids – whose only warm meal each day could be at school – for an entire year.

Yes. Many thanks to Amy Cohen and @benmanski.bsky.social for hosting this webinar on our book. So many good vibrations and solidarities coming out of next system project @nextsystemstudies.bsky.social ! #solidaritycities @uminnpress.bsky.social

In case you're wondering why Trump is censoring any discussion of climate pollution... It's only April and there's already Death Valley heat in India and Pakistan.

Step 1. Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants at government agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Step 2: Hold universities hostage by cutting off tens of billions of dollars of federal funding for independent research.

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

1900 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering - the most respected scientists in this country - rise up against the war on science.

Imagine hundreds of thousands gathering on campuses, in community centers, and public spaces worldwide—learning from social movements and taking responsibility for system change.

“An organization of intellectual workers can have the greatest significance for society as a whole by influencing public opinion through publicity & education. Indeed, it is the proper task to defend academic freedom, without which a healthy development of democracy is impossible.”

this guy really hates his trans kid so much that he decided to destroy liberal democracy

This is 1990s Russia post-coup: The Trump demand that federal workers resign en masse? He intends to liquidate most of our federal agencies and use our taxes to award massive contracts to himself and his loyalists. Short-term prediction.

Clearly, STEM is the problem and we should invest in the Social Sciences and Humanities instead. Or hadn't we noticed that it's not sociologists, historians, or artists who are shooting people, hijacking planes, or sending bombs in the mail?

@POTUS has the authority, responsibility, & opportunity to certify this critical protection ahead of the Trump administration. We need a mass movement urging him to take action. Take action at bidenpublishtheera.org #BidenPublishTheERA #ERANow

3 weeks ago, dozens of police officers from multiple jurisdictions, led by federal law enforcement, broke down the front door of a Fairfax County home at 6:00am and began an ordeal that one of my students and their family have been dealing with ever since. theintercept.com/2024/12/03/g...

Give thanks for Mercy Otis Warren.

Children should not be used as props for their parent's idiosyncratic legal-political agendas, I generally agree. But in this case, I'll make an exception.

Is this what they have planned for our country? Is making war on unions, students, your neighbors what you signed up for? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

A little early, but human liberation is a constant and universal struggle.

19 Senators believe that the laws they pass are worth the paper they are printed on. The rest of the Senate? Unworthy of the public trust. I'm glad to see Senator Kaine among those who give more than platitudes to the promise of a republic. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Were the U.S. still the world hegemon, you would be hearing more about this. But the criminalization of democracy is no longer a subject of geopolitical posturing. This to me is more evidence for the rise of the new hegemon: a global class, not a nation state. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/w... "
