This is what happened to me: a few students in a course called “Sex and the American Empire: Journalism and Frames of War” thought the class should not include discussions of sex at all or the war in Palestine. If you were silent on anti-Palestine speech, you helped bring this fascism to everyone
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

At one point when he was mayor Mike Bloomberg called the NYPD the seventh largest army in the world and he was in charge of it.
They don’t have to. But they are in fact now a military force and they are at war with Americans.
I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

To get NYS to tax the rich, Zohran and we, the many, have the same objective but two distinct tasks:
Zohran's task is to play nice with the governor right up until the moment that becomes a dead-end.
Our task, as @nychange.bsky.social shows by example, is to push Hochul relentlessly, starting now.

🚨BREAKING: We’re ready for Round 2! Today, we came to Wall Street to endorse @delgadoforny.bsky.social for Governor.
While bankers rake in record profits, working people are being crushed. The choice is clear: corporate politics under Kathy Hochul or people power with Antonio Delgado.

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.
Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.
Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The problem wasn't that universities were indifferent to antisemitism, but that they allowed trustees, advocacy groups, demagogues, etc to pressure them into treating as "antisemitism" all kinds of political expression and advocacy that was entirely legitimate.

Breaking News: Cornell University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that would restore hundreds of millions in funding to the university. It's expected to pay a $30 million fine to the government and to invest $30 million in agriculture and farming programs.
