Open your wallets folks. NY Presbyterian nurses need your financial support to keep their strike for safe staffing ratios going. If management has their way. they'll make every ICU nurse have a patient load in numbers that looks more like a kindergarten classroom than an intensive care unit.

Tennessee House panel kills private-school voucher transparency bill • Tennessee Lookout Tennessee Rep. Jody Barrett is sponsoring a bill to reveal family income of kids receiving state voucher funds to attend private schools.

The TN GOP doesn't want its constituents to know that most of the vouchers they are paying for are going to the affluent who already had their kids in private school and that what they said about what vouchers would do -- give parents "choice" -- was a lie.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

I'm going to let Kurt Vonnegut do the honors of explaining why yesterday's massive march in the well beyond freezing cold matters so very much.

Yep. Less NTT faculty who know they can be discarded at will, but for TT folks, it's easy to forget that admin are *our managers* and when we enforce their agendas for them, we're managing ourselves on their behalf. @isaackamola.bsky.social and @elimeyerhoff.bsky.social nail this.

Oh, and Pete Shulman as lead henchman. WUCNJ is making the same tired arguments as when Pete was part of the Christie administration.

The post office is also super convenient now. Meanwhile, getting customer service at a private company is like gearing up for battle.

Reporters need to get off Elon's Twitter Inside the Machine for Fascism, you can't even see that Biden won the 2020 election.

We see regularly scheduled articles about why Bluesky is bad.

But what about the obvious point that Twitter is Elon's Machine for Fascism and it's breaking reporters' brains?

Dems need to start explicitly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly promising oversight, investigations, subpoenas, hearings, prosecutations, & jail time for those ransacking our country. I want specifics, timelines, inevitability. The new Dem House will get sworn in on 1/3/27. What happens on 1/4/27?

Ruha Benjamin: We can call bullshit on their eugenic futures Dr. Ruha Benjamin’s must-see talk on tech's ‘artificial intelligentsia’

“Billionaires building bunkers to survive an AI apocalypse, attempting to disrupt death through cryopreservation, scouting the planet for pop-up cities and network states — are not reliable stewards of the collective good.”

Harvard stands up to Trump — they get that complicity will not save you Other institutions take note: It's delusional to lie low and hope Trump goes away in four years

Harvard figured out what everyone else in power needs to understand: Complicity with Trump will not save you.

Standing up isn't just the right thing to do. It's the smart thing to do. He will renege on any "deal" you make and come after you anyway.

If Donald Trump was a Russian spy actively sabotaging the United States of America... what would he do differently?

It really is that straight forward. This has always been the global billionaire class versus everyone else

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate seeing your thought process here

Again, the Union that represents the people most directly impacted by a shutdown is saying that the CR is WORSE than a shutdown. Can you imagine how bad the CR is for the Union to say a shutdown is better? Listen to workers. Listen to the Union.
