God I hate this genre. These kids who protested Gaza got arrested, expelled, beaten up, doxxed, lives ruined by outside agitators and were utterly betrayed by the administrations that should have protected them at any cost. Shut the fuck up.
We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8
We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

🚨 ON STRIKE 🚨
Unionized staff at ProPublica @propublicaguild.org walked off the job today.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth.
My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...
Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans.
people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.
Ending genocide and illegal wars is a kitchen table issue in the United States. Probably THE kitchen table issue. What on earth do they think we're talking about at our kitchen tables?
There are very necessary and responsible ways for historians of Nazism to respond to this moment, and what you see below is not one of them.
HOLY SHIT GOOD MORNING WELCOME BACK TO HAVING A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT GET FUCKED STEPHEN MILLER AND THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION!!!
In Massachusetts, we don't back down from the hard fights. We face them head-on. Together. youtu.be/tljjfA1ED_8?...
Yes, holding international conferences in the US right now is a bad idea
- Visa and travel bans
- Risk of ICE detentions
- Racial profiling
- Human rights violations
It is very unsafe and these mathematicians are getting it!

If you accept a bottle of water from an ICE agent at the airport, you are a scab.
Heyooo let's go
You could feel the union power on the CFU-UAW picket line yesterday. And you could feel it even more strongly today when they announced a deal with NYU.
A huge congratulations to the faculty members who fought so hard for this victory.
Power belongs in the hands of working people!

A thousand NYU contingent faculty went on strike Monday and today they have a real contract with real security in one of the most expensive places on earth
I've been asked recently for something on Why Ed Markey / Why Not Seth Moulton, so I decided to do a stock-taking of Seth Moulton's record.

When you think you're a liberator of your people and you're also sexually abusing women and girls from among those people you're demonstrating that you have trouble recognizing them as people. (And that is way too common.)

“They’re flattening everything to the point they can get every member of the caucus before they’re willing to vote for something,” said Jonathan Cohn, policy director at Progressive Massachusetts. “That really narrows what an agenda will be.” financialpost.com/pmn/business...
A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

The majority of faculty on campus work on semester contracts w/no job security. Even those with tenure can be denied due process. Don’t cut us out of collective bargaining. The higher ed lobbyist agenda is NOT pro-worker! @donscott757.bsky.social @senlouiselucas.bluesky.bot @ssurovell.bsky.social
Every Democrat planning to run in a primary in 2028 might want to start working on their record of standing for immigrant and trans rights, and against genocide and imperialism. We will be checking your work.
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
