This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents.
He is a traitor who needs to resign.

A Blank Check for Israel Has Humiliated the US in the Eyes of the World | Common Dreams
Support for Israeli crimes makes the U.S. not only complicit in genocide, but has diminished our status and injured the freedoms we once claimed to cherish.

One thing to keep in mind for the next 4 years is that the people *doing something about it* often won't be able to talk about it.
Sometimes this is for security reasons, but also simply because *we don't have time* to talk about community defense / mutual aid filing up our nights and weekends.

Los Angeles needs a paradigm shift - away from neo-liberal disaster capitalism towards indigenous ways of being - if it is to become truly resilient. #socialecology #indigenousecology #tongva #sanfernandinotatavium #decolonization #losangelesfirerecovery #mutalaidla #regenerativefirerecovery
Indigenous Economics
Mainstream economics regards environmental protection as a matter of finding the “right price” for environmental preferences. This is not how indigenous people think about environmental issues.
