Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House.
That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins.
Pay-to-play corruption.

Out of the three colleges I’ve attended, two had a president step down because of sexual misconduct during the time I was connected to campus.
Larry Summers is another reminder that part of why universities respond so badly to sexual violence is because there are powerful perpetrators within them.

Taxpayers paid $103B for stock buybacks for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics & Northrop Grumman over the last decade.
They donated to politicians who bought their stocks and gave them contracts, then both made money.
And you’re worried about what people buy with SNAP?

I’m looking for a good contemporary novel. I’ve been reading a lot of medieval poems & sagas and realized I’d read hardly any recent fiction this year. I love a book that’s a bit cerebral, a bit strange, and tells a solidly plotted story with a minimum of fuss.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
