The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

less than one (1) percent of Minnesota's historical prairie still remains, so this expansion is a bfd for all the species that need this habitat to survive | no paywall

It's not sustainable that people are going to just have to keep leaving various tech platforms and tech tools behind every few months. Most people aren't going to do this.

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

They are going to new lengths to shame and dehumanize KIDS. I can only imagine how this will set up these kids to be brutally bullied. How they will have to leave their school buildings to engage in the most basic of human functions and be taunted as they do so. This is horrific. 2/

CM Wonsley is the only political candidate my former union (GLU-UE 1105) has ever endorsed for a damn good reason. she is on the right side of every issue.

just saw the press briefing about the actions of the murdered victims in the San Diego mosque attack, and the immensity of their heroism coupled with the enormity of what the attack might have looked like otherwise is really too much to handle

And Jacob Frey keeps giving MPD more money every chance he gets while this is the accountability being offered to the community about it. How do we know it isn’t going right into their pockets?

the fact Trump is going to try and steal it all himself doesn't mean everyone else can't pretend he won't and keep talking about this part

wonsley brings up the work east phillips urban farm had to do for 10 years to be approved, how they kept being told it was not enough but now MPD don’t have to have a plan “don’t get the land before the plan”

Two different people have died while jailed at Rikers Island in the last two days. A spokesperson for @mayor.nyc.gov confirmed these posts are about different deaths:

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

my mom still says "aminals" because that's how my sister said it and now her son corrects his grandma about it

Hi all. Today I am starting barn raisers for our last 3 rents that are unfunded. First up is MPS family K who needs $2200 for May rent still. Can anyone chip in or share? 🌻

I have prayed at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Like me, the Muslim-Americans who were targeted today pray for peace, for the future of their kids, for a better tomorrow. That’s what we all hope and pray for. 1/

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion To Have https://bit.ly/3RjdlH1

This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted. *the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

Remember when the Supreme Court said a president lacked the power to forgive $20,000 of student debt for Pell Grant recipients and the White House just said "Oh, okay"

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

being a member at racket is really good. great content, feels good to support, i always know what rep screenings of movies are happening. recommend!!!!

Rent debt in Minnesota--the whole state!--may have as much as doubled in Jan-Feb due to Operation Metro Surge (estimated range of increase: 61%-115%) A calamity even for the families who weren't directly, physically harmed by ICE/DHS Even w/o OMS, typical MN rent debt is 10x rental assistance $

Last night, the Minnesota State Legislature passed the bonding bill, which includes funding for the City of Minneapolis Water Distribution Facility, clearing the way for the East Phillips Indoor Urban Farm project to FINALLY become a reality. 1/

did you hear about the horrifying thing that youre powerless to do anything about

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

maybe it's just that i'm quite sick but it's exhausting how much i hate the mayor

The City’s own survey results showed the community found that Rise & Remember's proposal was most closely aligned with their values and garnered the most strongly positive reactions overall. 1/

incredibly rude to plan a beautiful staycation and then become sick during it

Win!

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

i was paying attention to work all day, what the fuck happened with seashells??

towards the end of my grandmother's life she took her lifelong interest in collage too far and started cutting up really important things, like power cords

i was particularly contrasting this with the way people *still* say Ilhan is antisemitic because she did one poorly worded tweet about AIPAC like a decade ago. whose actions are sticky, what do we remember, it's so depressing and racist all the time

we did it folks thank you so much!!!! (the fund a thon is still going so if you want to donate more it will be used!)

For anyone panicking over hantavirus, I highly recommend this thread from the only person on planet earth who could keep me sane during COVID with actual fact and science based communication.

This morning, a resident was stopped and kidnapped by ICE near 28th and Oakland Ave South. Yesterday, a resident was kidnapped by ICE near Lake and Stevens Ave South. There is also increased activity at the Whipple building this morning compared to the last couple of weeks. 1/

"Childcare is like a pie. Some people can buy a nice pie from a store so we can't give them free pie! If they want pie they need to submit their receipts for the last 5 years so we can see how much pie they can buy as a percentage of pie. Then we give them a little slice of money to use at 1 of 3 st

OK. I need $171 actual dollars in the door (which will be doubled) to hit my $2k goal. Help????

what kind of bombs do you use to bring a bunch of little elementary school girls back to life, do we have any research on that

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

Wild how MPD blew through overtime by not actually working.

oh shit donations are matched rn -- if you give $10 it becomes $20!

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims
