Here's the moment from Monday's hearing when Butzel-Long's attorney compared striking workers to domestic abusers. This comparison is extremely deplorable and was stricken from the record following our lawyer's objection.

Our annual conference is at Rutgers May 18-20. Register now: form.jotform.com/230316347694156 Should @ruaaup be on strike we will NOT be crossing picket lines and have alternate local arrangements ready. You can also donate to the strike fund here: rafup.betterworld.org/donate?link_id…

Looking for other events and ways to get involved? Here are some upcoming events in Athens! We hope to see you at some (or all 🤩) of these amazing events ✨ DM us with any questions!

@AthensYdsa A couple of opportunities that might interest YDSA members. An award for young leaders: rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b8… and a full-time paid organizing apprenticeship: willempower.org/apprentices/

Thanks for noticing this @DanBuk4

An economist puts my book in the context of the debates among economists & anthropologists: "Where Jared Diamond saw “Guns, Germs, & Steel”, Nelson sees the perhaps somewhat less sexy trinity of mold, futures contracts, & dynamite." (wait, what's sexier than a futures contract?)

@fightfor15 $15 is good but $20 is better! A living wage shouldn't be barely enough to live on. Is $15 enough to pay rent, support a family, and pay for healthcare?

One job should be enough. #FightFor15

@BrianKarem @HawleyMO 😂😂😂

@MarcusRediker You also find books you never read and don't know how you got.

@LeandraNessel At the Athens protest against the Muslim ban, some jerk drove by in a giant pickup yelling, "go back to where you came from." A protester yelled, "bless your heart," which made everyone crack up. After that, every time a driver yelled something nasty, everyone yelled it.

Veel graan, bestemd voor de wereldmarkt, komt Oekraïne niet uit. Een voedselcrisis dreigt. Verslaggever @rudybouma ging langs bij de Nederlandse boer Kees Huizinga (@DutchFarmerInUA) in Oekraïne. “Mijn maïs ligt hier in de silo en we kunnen er nergens mee naartoe.” #Nieuwsuur

@BORUSG @AlbanyStateUniv Thanks to the United Campus Workers of Georgia.

At its meeting today ⁦@AlbanyStateUniv⁩, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia voted to eliminate the Special Institutional Fee and to not raise tuition rates at most institutions for the 2022-23 academic year. For more: usg.edu/news/release/b…

A UNION WIN!! This is what collective action and years long persistence will achieve!
