“It wasn’t a big leap for [d’Entremont] to cross over and join the Liberal Party of today because Carney is running on an agenda that I would say is a Progressive Conservative agenda. You look at [our] seven MPs. They are strong social New Democrats. We are dedicated to our cause and our movement.”

This thread reinforces why I got enthused yesterday about CUNY’s potential to socialize EdTech. Let’s further empower them, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.
Huge thanks to @mattseybold.bsky.social for writing this great post, which highlights CUNY's transformative potential to build open educational infrastructure

This!!! The use of a humanity degree.
I don’t know about you but I sincerely believe that Zohran Mamdani’s BA Major in Africana Studies enabled him to understand our current conjuncture & its demands of justice. Humanities shape minds & in his case for the better.
I know white tech bros disagree as they continue to collapse our worlds.

Carney’s cuts hurt Canadians. Even Stephen Harper didn’t go this far. Why doesn’t he cut massive amounts of corporate welfare instead? #Budget2025

Friends, the Canadian right wing is at it again. This time, they are demanding the release of EDI data for all Canadian tri-council applicatants’ demographic information, including students. This is a move for them to identity the “EDI” candidates. Please sign this petition or call your MP!

The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔

He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.
