Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Academia still expects the outputs appropriate to a 1980s-era tenure line researcher (time protected for thought, wage sufficient to support social reproduction at home) but its reward structure is more like picking up hours at Chipotle or delivering packages for Amazon, if you can even get that
I have a side hustle / pt job (teaching private music lessons) bc my regular job doesn’t pay that well but also because I’m constantly afraid of losing it. But my regular job constantly asks me to work weekends, which interferes with my pt job that is supposed to be my fail-safe. 🫠

No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.
