The lines at campus food pantries & farmers markets have gotten longer over the last decade, & more so in recent weeks, as ~1.1 million college students nationwide are on SNAP with many more also facing food insecurity as a daily reality.

These stories are horrific. These men were tortured in CECOT and one day both presidents will be held accountable.

Very happy for NYC tonight. And Virginia, and New Jersey, and PA…

The quest to commodify and destroy third places is intrinsically linked to rise of American fascism and the power of people like Mamdani proves community and shared spaces are both a bulwark against fascism but also a potent antidote to fascism and neoliberalisms enforced loneliness.

There's a deep irony to do the way we do welfare. Opponents hate that aid programs disincentivize paid work. So, they've fought to make keep aid programs meager and strictly means-tested. When the way to avoid disincentivizing paid work is to make aid more generous at the margins, not less.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

"Come on, now, don't you think your state was dressed a little provocatively?"

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Once again, @mcsweeneys.net does not miss. ------------------------------------------------ "In 2004, you saw some college guy using me and thought, 'What a lazy cheater.' Now you’d think, 'At least he’s not asking Gemini.' In a few years, you’ll say, 'Wow, look, a human being who can read.'"

“…the construction of class and race, and racial prejudice, have created a system that keeps members of the lower classes precisely where they are.” www.theatlantic.com/business/arc...

Absolutely heartbreaking

If you haven’t already, now is a good time to find your local food pantry and donate your time or $.

Gender is not an ideology – but conservative groups know learning about it empowers people to think for themselves theconversation.com/gender-is-no...

This shows that Florida's Board of Governors does not understand the job they are supposed to be governing. Syllabi are living documents that should be adjusted as new information and pedagogical issues arise. This is about political control of teaching, not helping students learn.

What Arlie Hoschild found was that when women entered the workforce en masse in the 20th century, men functionally went on strike from domestic labor—forcing women to take on a double day of wages and caretaking work.

In Brazil's coffee-producing areas, more than 42,000 square miles of forest have disappeared over about two decades, says Coffee Watch. Deforestation leads to drought, which harms crop yields.

How many steps are we from literal rule by decree? Seriously.

I hope everyone sends this piece to their deans.

This was in large part what the whole Iran-Contra scandal was about.

Texas officials say food stamp benefits, which go to 1.7 million children, would not be distributed in November under an extended shutdown.

Really appreciate the work that went into this analysis.

Can’t do anything about the situation in DC right now but I did donate to my local food bank yesterday. Trying to follow the advice of the previous re-skeet.

If you're completely overwhelmed by the suffering of the world and a feeling of hopelessness, do one small thing locally. It's basically the antidote.

A haunted house for academics but it’s just neverending email notifications that an account on your behalf has been added to a journal review platform by an editor

On top of everything else, who can be surprised that this misogynistic person is eager to destroy women’s historical role in the WH by demolishing the East Wing?

🚨 “Some students and faculty now second-guess what they can say in and out of class. Students who aren’t white, straight and cisgender say their identities are being erased. Many professors worry that fear, not inquiry, is starting to define campus life.” cbsaustin.com/news/local/t...

Updating my LEGO White House

If I were in Dem comms I would be running ads on permanent loop of the WH remodel juxtaposed with headlines and stories about hungry families, car repossession, and housing costs.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

If you can afford it, a *monetary* donation (it goes a lot farther!) to your local food bank would be a most excellent thing to do right now.

www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t... What a convoluted explanation from UT Austin as to why the Provost can engage in political speech but the Graduate Student Assembly cannot.

Crackdown tactics emerging from El Salvador’s Casa Presidencial and the U.S. White House have something in common: the willingness to sow fear and enact cruelty onto a population deemed criminal or expendable. beta.elfaro.net/en/letter-fr...
