Business schools taught me a long time ago that there was no freedom of speech in higher education. What we see today happening to critical scholars across universities happened to critical scholars in business schools very early on. "Support" the business school has a very particular agenda.
good answer.
I guess the new icebreaker question is: if you were somehow teleported to a restaurant which restaurant would it be and where?
I hope people haven't forgotten these sisters, Malak and Maali deserves our care and support ❤️🙏🏻

People really memory holed-covid, due to a huge far right propaganda effort. That's why all you hear about is lockdowns, and not:
- hospitals out of capacity
- Skype calls with family members in quarantine as they died
- bodies stored in freezer trailors
- mass graves in NYC
Thoughts and prayers.
Today is April 2nd and rent is DUE.
I'm barnraising for M, a mom in Northeast who has had a very difficult time asking for help for her family because the ICE terror has eroded their trust & sense of safety.
They need $2100 total; $100 has already been sent to M.
Can you chip in or share? 🌻
Did you know that there is one group of Americans who are not entitled to birthright citizenship?
People born American Samoa are classified instead simply as “U.S. nationals” — and as a result they cannot vote or run for office anywhere else in the country.
Much more here, for anyone curious:
A mint green graphic decorated with a large dandelion seed and dozens of little orange circles splattered across. Heading: Keep Gaza connected this spring! Text: The Crips for eSIMs UK team keeps 200+ eSIMs topped up every day. Just £5 helps someone in Gaza—a doctor, student, journalist, or any person who has the right to the internet—stay connected to the world for a month. In the bottom left is the Crips for eSIMs for Gaza logo (an orange SIM card with the micro-SIM decorated with a green kuffiyeh pattern), with an illustrated bumblebee perched on top. The bee has a beeline that connects to the lower right text with an arrow: bit.ly/esimsUK
Crips for eSIMs sustains thousands of people's connectivity EVERY day. But support is evaporating, which means eSIMs expire, and the project can't send new ones.
Pledge a coffee, make it monthly, share. 201/500 by Saturday, which covers one week of top-ups for about 200 eSIMs: bit.ly/esimsUK
It should be a rule that you cannot mention political polls without immediately mentioning the sample size
People should simply follow this rule here and in other places
Thanks for your consideration

Enough's enough! It should have been full halt stop at the FIRST ChatGPT suicide! Why is this an acceptable cost of this technology! Moral bankruptcy!

Abolition is the only way forward
Today SCOTUS, in a grave disservice to queer and trans people across the country, held that statutes banning conversion therapy are subject to First Amendment strict scrutiny. Basically, SCOTUS handed therapists a First Amendment right to torture queer people.
Only Justice Jackson dissented.
The US is testing new weapons by bombing civilians in Iran.
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.
More efforts to turn ICE into a national police force.

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210.
$210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.
A campaign poster with large red reading "Mayor Mamdani" and a message urging to fund NYC public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget. Two photos of a man in a suit are shown, with a website link for more information.
I'm sure you all haven't forgotten that @mayor.nyc.gov broke his promise on funding our public libraries at 0.5% of the city expense budget and has remained mum on this fact. New Yorkers call for him to stick to his promise.

V disturbing to continue to see politicians and regular ppl try to play the “I’m a good person except I’m willing to sacrifice this one group” card.
Little reminder: someone who is willing to throw away one group of ppl is someone who will throw ANYONE away. All they need is the right incentive
