Two years in the making and we’re finally here! Official trailer for our forthcoming documentary film “Things We Imagined,” premiering next week at #ASHE25 youtu.be/GxYvJGMlhO0?...

I can't wait for y'all to see the unwhitewashed story behind one of America's favorite cultural icons. Don’t miss "High Horse: The Black Cowboy" streaming on Peacock on Nov 20. Read more and watch the full trailer at ContrabandCamp!

Just a complete disappointment.

actually all of the organizing networks and connections people built together as part of the movement to get Mamdani elected are important And hope is politically extremely valuable

I think the ”super radical” takes that Mamdani is a counter revolutionary phenomenon are extremely tired arm chair shit Also he is gonna be Mayor of NYC so anyone who was expecting him to lead the revolution either works for the NY Post or doesn’t understand the system or both

If you’ve been paying attention to MAGA since it rode down a golden elevator in a puff of sulfur, you know they’ve already chosen and those choices led us to this fascist moment. It took a minute for the hoods to come the entire way off but here we are.

A lot going on here, but TIL that Heritage (laughably) has an antisemitism task force? wapo.st/4hGx6Bm

The hed now reads "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace" and the dek reads "And if so, can conservative feminism fix it?" ✌🏾Conservative feminism✌🏾 is an oxymoron.

“Education is one of those areas where every asshole thinks they know what’s best, and where supposed innovators think undermining teachers is a net positive.”

New York and California wins are amazing, but THIS Mississippi win is phenomenal! Democratic platforms can win outside the so called liberal center when there’s genuine platforms and community work that brings people together.

Sick.

The definitive account of the Watergate-style coverup Dick Cheney orchestrated after shooting that one guy in the face. www.salon.com/2006/02/15/c...

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.* The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

yeah the whole media apparatus ran cover for these guys and their wars

there is an urgent need for readers to financially support worker-owned publications, before what's left of the news industry is completely hollowed out

This is terrible news and more evidence (as if we needed it) that the media is anti-meritocratic. Teen Vogue did amazing political work.

“A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration violated the Constitution when it froze more than $2.7 billion in research funding to Harvard, striking down the freeze in its entirety and delivering the University a major legal victory.”

why did the NYT print - repeatedly - that Harvard was about to settle for some gargantuan sum? Will they run a retraction on those stories? Discipline the reporters who reported inaccurate information to their readers? Out the sources who lied to them?

Y’all still over here?

We must all question the racialized construction of “the criminal” under American empire. Criminalization is a project of dehumanization that uses illegitimate claims to designate human beings as other, as undesirable, and therefore worthy of punishment and excommunication without contest.

A must read from @hfdavis.bsky.social “What colleges and universities do next, in the courts and on their campuses, may very well determine whether higher education and the American democratic project will survive long enough to pursue a redeemable future.” electronicintifada.net/content/univ...

Given Regents’ primarily fiduciary obligations, their moral bankruptcy notwithstanding, these expenditures demonstrate a dereliction of duty to responsibly manage university resources. Instead, they use them as a private purse to pursue political vendettas against students. x.com/la_luchona_/...

So, now that we’re all here … What’s good? What are we arguing about today?

Been completely locked out of my X account for the past week and support has been completely unhelpful in trying to regain access to it. So, here we are …

Surveillance, counterinsurgency, and entrapment.

Important critiques from Akil Bello & Jacob Vigdor about the NYT admissions tests article including how these tests don’t measure academic aptitude but familiarity with elite academia & the Opp Insights research being over generalized to all of higher ed.

from river to sea palestine will be free

Spoke w/ Maggie Hicks at The Chronicle this week about the “war of words” on campus and the disregard of Palestinian suffering. In no uncertain terms, we must affirm and protect the dignitary safety of our most vulnerable and disempowered. #freepalestine www.chronicle.com/article/isra...

In my first piece for Capital and Main, I explore how people of color have been disproportionately hurt by the conditions that have led to Hollywood’s unprecedented strikes: To quote actor Parvesh Cheena, “funny how pay started going down when diversity numbers started going up”

Instruments, energy supplies, and policies of sewer maintenance. Next, you are likely to be asked for a detailed program of how this system will be brought into existence. Historically, this is ridiculous. When has social change ever happened according to someone’s blueprint? It’s not as if a

Normally, when you challenge the conventional wisdom—that the current economic and political system is the only possible one—the first reaction you are likely to get is a demand for a detailed architectural blueprint of how an alternative system would work, down to the nature of its financial

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Jake Tapper really sat there while Ron DeSantis prattled on about abortion after birth. But hey he’s popular on BlueSky so who cares if he’s bad at his job

I’m realizing I don’t have the capacity to manage all these apps. Is there some way to syndicate your posts from Twitter?

Rudy Giuliani, who pioneered the use of RICO when he was a US attorney, indicted on RICO charges

If you or I had the number of indictments against us that Trump has right now, we wouldn't be allow to walk around freely. Trump is yet another example of how multi-tiered our so-called "justice" system is.

Taxing the rich more literally feeds starving children

Abolition means we get to dream together of what the world could look like when we value community care over punishment and erasure. Long term, malleable plans over one-size-fits all “solutions”. When we prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable, which will ultimately benefit all of us.
