Society does not make it easy, but I *highly* recommend making friends with people both older and younger than you.

Like, not a few years but full decade +.

The opportunities to learn from and support each other are so much better when we're not all IN IT in the same way at the same time.

Today I was vetted for separate things by two delightful young people that I hope will be friends moving forward. I think this crisis has done a lot for the young anarchist punk🤝middle-aged organizer alliance.😍❤️

Love something in your life the way Ontario loves underfunding education
Of the $6.4B announced for Ontario PSE yesterday, 45% or so was just taking $ out of SFA and handing it to institutions.

Another chunk of $, maybe as high as $3B (unclear) involved taking $ announced in '24 and '25 & putting it into the base out to 2029-30

Actual new $ over 2025-26 base? $0-2B.

somehow I get the feeling that if Mamdani had a nazi tattoo we'd have simply never heard of him again about 15 min after it was revealed instead of having to read a new piece every 5 days about how he's just a smol bean

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.

Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

This was the attack where they subsequently threw tear gas into a family's car, causing a baby to stop breathing, they blamed the family for it.

It would be nice to think that Epstein was running the one conspiracy to rule us all and that it died with it, or that we could end it by getting whoever took his place. But Epstein was just a view into the ruling class. There are a million guys like him, scheming against each other and against us.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner.

I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

Shout out to the student journalists that have tirelessly covered their professors' ties to Epstein. My job would be much harder without them. See thread for some of my favorite recent student news pieces.

The DOJ is Donald Trump’s personal law firm. No exaggeration.
NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.
