Hasan Piker Threatens the Establishment. That’s Why They Want to Destroy Him. Critics are leveling baseless charges of antisemitism and bigotry at the mega-streamer. But they’re really scared of the challenge he poses to their power.

“Their charge is that he’s an antisemite. The reality, of course, is that Piker is not an antisemite. But he is a trenchant critic of Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people, of US warmongering, and of a Democratic establishment that supports both.”

Reinstate the Fired Six at VSU!

Six tenured & tenure track faculty members were abruptly fired at Virginia State University without cause or any semblance of due process.

Sign this petition to demand their reinstatement & a public commitment from VSU to honor tenure & end arbitrary dismissals.

Very very very exciting news for Maryland faculty!

A big step forward.

Now let’s improve it and seal the deal in the House!

Today the bill granting collective bargaining rights to Maryland's non-tenure track faculty passed out of the Senate!

Unfortunately while certain groups of non-tenure track faculty are omitted, today's vote brings us closer than ever to granting all faculty the rights already enjoyed... [1/3]
