Reconciliation isn’t about token gestures, museum visits, or diversity training, writes @pampalmater.com. True reconciliation means respecting Indigenous peoples’ right to say 'No'—to development on their lands, to discriminatory laws, and to ongoing abuse.

Campus Community radio changed our world. It can change this one too. Thank you @ckcufm.bsky.social for 50 years of life!!!

But the professors on campus will not be able to discuss this incident in class on Monday without getting the prior permission of the Texas A&M president first. www.texastribune.org/2025/11/13/t...

Just hanging with some 1990s @ckcufm.bsky.social stalwarts at the 50th anniversary celebration of the station!! @mediaindigena.bsky.social , Lance Baptiste & Manmohan Panesar!!

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

BREAKING: President Trump drops tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit as pressure builds on consumer prices.

A number of local Chicago reporters/journalists have truly distinguished themselves over the past few weeks and I am so very grateful. It also shows that reporting is a public service when done well. Thank you all.

jawdropping

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

It’s absolutely terrific.

Ticket sales for the Washington National Opera have collapsed since Trump took over the Kennedy center www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Very sad to hear about Jim Watson’s death. If you think he was always a racist you are wrong. He refused to support genes/IQ research in the 70s. He boycotted Greece because of the military coup in 1967 and he called for a boycott of meetings in Chicago after the police riot of 1968. 1/2

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

An atrocity foretold: How the RSF siege of El Fasher turned into genocidal slaughter: www.thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/202... (@newhumanitarian.bsky.social)

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around. Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

More than 460 people were reportedly killed in a North Darfur hospital that was overrun by Sudanese paramilitary forces, the WHO said

The conversation could not have been in more thoughtful hands. Such a crucial time to be coming together to renew our belief in human rights & embrace our collective power to advance transformative change. Heaps of appreciation & gratitude @caradraws.bsky.social.

Thanks to @alexneve.bsky.social former Secretary General of @amnesty.ca for a fantastic conversation @writersfest.bsky.social about his CBC 2025 @masseycollege.bsky.social lecture “Universal: Renewing #HumanRights in a Fractured World.”

McIver: The things we’re seeing this president do — it’s unbelievable. I just saw the new number: $300 million for a ballroom. The audacity of this man while we’re in the middle of a shutdown and people aren’t getting paid. I saw a line wrapped around the corner in the DMV area for the food bank

As June Jordan said, “We are not powerless. We are indispensable despite all atrocities of state and corporate policy to the contrary... At a minimum we have the power to stop cooperating with our enemies. We have the power to stop the courtesies and to let the feelings be real.”

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
