Organizers from Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Arizona share strategies for resisting data centers in other communities.
In the throes of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign, immigration enforcement embeds within colleges, with little to no community oversight, legal transparency, or guardrails, @julialuz.bsky.social reports. As more colleges enter into partnerships with ICE & CBP, students are fighting back.
Members of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians voted unanimously to approve a moratorium prohibiting the development of data centers on tribal lands.
Get your community to step up too and enact a ban on data centers!

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

The fact of the matter is that your racist uncle who hates Woke Studies ever since he heard about it on the drive back from the supermarket and the governing board that oversees your research institution are converging, and the results are exactly as monstrous and as stupid as you would have guessed
it is wild to me to have a colleague say that using genAI to do a "first analysis" of a bunch of papers to get summaries and then engage with those summaries is a legitimate way to do any sort of scholarship like fucking hell how are you calling yourself a scholar

In yet another blow to public lands, the US Senate voted 50-49 to overturn a mining ban near the sacred Boundary Waters in Minnesota. An existing copper mine will be reopened by a company known for having multiple polluting accidents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Congress’ War Powers vote fails by exactly one vote (214-213).
Funny how this keeps happening!
The move from paying for genocidal weapons to simply selling them is about buying time and misdirecting activist energy: by @ahjohnson.bsky.social
Five whole blocks of Park Ave are shut down for a @32bjseiu.bsky.social rally ahead of a possible strike. Guess you better give them a contract!!!!
Same as it ever was. The US has only ever been a "democracy" for property owners, not for people. And that will never change until we decide to stop giving capitalist politicians our money and support. As long as they fool you into thinking the Democrats will change, the house always wins.
An audience member disrupted Vice President JD Vance at Tuesday's TPUSA event: "You're killing children! You're bombing children!"
This comes as the administration continues to receive backlash from within Trump's own base over the war in Iran.
Fresh reminder that the rich hate teachers' unions because they are the primary force fighting against a curriculum entirely designed around brainwashing kids into a right wing, white supremacist worldview.
I definitely think you are correct but I think one of the other major issues is that the ruling class has gotten very good at lying through statistics. Official inflation/real wage statistics do a terrible job reflecting actual purchasing power.

Whenever anyone tells you they're "fighting the politicization" of anything, what they mean is they are fighting to impose their views as hegemonic and ban any opposing views.
It's never about "neutrality" or "objectivity," it's about naturalizing ruling class ideas and banning criticism of them.

HB 580 in Alabama will create post-tenure review process for faculty, let Board of Trustees shape curricula & limit the power of faculty senates.
“The bottom line is that it’s a bad bill. It will do little to bring about the transparency & accountability that lawmakers desire.”
