Hear @proftwolf.bsky.social: “OUR compact is: higher education as a public good—that means free college for all; that means an end to student debt; that means work with dignity for everyone on our campuses; it means freedom to teach and freedom to learn without Big Brother on our back!”

What’s so painful about the attacks from the Jewish community on Zohran Mamdani in NYC—beyond the naked Islamophobia—is how they betray our own history. 1/4

Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the grassroots movement of supporters for an inspiring, historic campaign. Working people in NYC rejected Cuomo/Trump/Musk to support someone they know will make this city we call home a safer, more affordable place for all families to thrive.

Best political news in a very, very long time.
Breaking News: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker from Queens, will be the 111th mayor of New York. He will be the first Muslim to ever lead the city, as well as its first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century.

I've been a member of @aaup.org for years, and I couldn't be more pleased, now that we've affiliated with @texasaft.org, to say I'm a union member too.
I'm glad to see our organizing with @AAUP.org is giving more colleges the courage to stand up to the Trump administration. Trump's offer to give preferential treatment to colleges in exchange for allegiance to his ideological agenda is entirely corrupt. www.wesa.fm/identity-com...

Trump is quite literally the biggest union buster in American history. Every single Republican who supports Trump is anti-union, including Vance and Hawley and the other mythological “we love workers” ones. You are all lying rat cowards.
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

If they are not paying SNAP benefits, and they won’t give people healthcare, and they are giving Elon Musk and his ilk tax breaks then riddle me this:

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.
Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.
No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

We say: NO
The Trump administration’s compact offers federal funding priority but only if they freeze tuition, suppress protests, overhaul governance, and limit international students. Seven universities have already said no. “Nothing less than government control.” www.highereddive.com/news/trump-u...
‘Nothing less than government control’: Higher ed responds to Trump’s compact
Federal officials offered preferential funding treatment to nine initial colleges in exchange for sweeping changes. Here’s how they replied.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.
