The al Haj family has been living in a tent in Nuseirat for over 2 years. bit.ly/alhajfamily Maybe it's become normal to the mainstream media. But not to us. They still need your help. Consider donating $5, $10 or more monthly. Don't forget them.

Just a reminder that Black people are hit hardest by long covid because we also face medical racism. Docs and dentists are still trained to believe that Black people can tolerate higher pain levels. There's a reason it took 6 years for me to get basic help.

Today was one of the most horrifying days of my life as an academic. Walking through Iran University of Science and Technology, a top-ranked public university in Iran, I was struck by the devastation. Only last month, this campus was alive with students, bustling between classrooms. Now, parts of the campus lie in ruins, classrooms shattered, hallways choked with dust and shattered glass. I saw the offices of professors burned. A newly renovated building, where students gathered for programs, for socializing, for life, destructed. One student, tearfully, told me: “My professor’s office was still burning a little. That’s where I used to wait for office hours. To ask questions. To appeal my grade.” This is the same university that launched Iran’s Omid and Zafar 2 satellites, symbols of homegrown technological achievement. A week ago, one of its professors was assassinated. Yesterday, they bombed it. From sanctions to targeted killings, to the bombing of research centers and universities, there’s a clear pattern: de-development & de-industrialisation/ the systematic dismantling of a nation’s indigenous development, its industrial base, its capacity to stand on its own. We will never forget that as the American and Zionist war criminals blatantly target universities, schools, hospitals/ assassinating professors and killing children, and after 2 years or genocice, western intellectuals are still debating whether or not to pass a symbolic, non-enforceable BDS resolution. Photos taken by me, full report incoming.

I told my students last week that by giving over their critical thinking and other knowledge skills to generative AI, they are willingly turning themselves into slaves; as Frederick Dougalss wrote, "I found that to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, annihilate the power of reasons."

Actually, we won huge concessions TO the university from the administration. Faculty and our students are the university.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

After two days on strike, nearly 1,000 faculty at NYU won huge concessions from the university. Everyone in the @CfuUaw union will now get a raise of at least $14,000. The deal also includes 3.5% raises each year of the contract, better job security, and more.

Mahmoud al Haj's parents are suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. Yet, due to the genocide, they are living in a tent and have little extra income. bit.ly/alhajfamily Help ease their daily lives. Consider a monthly donation to help with their expenses.

The news might ignore Palestine. But we cannot forget families in need in Gaza. bit.ly/ibsalem We have a goal: to get the Salem family a guaranteed income of $500/month. So far we are at $150/$500. Will you pledge $5 or $10 a month to help us reach our goal?

Lucy Parsons organized, spoke out, and fought fiercely for workers’ rights in the face of repression. ✊🏽 Her legacy lives on in today’s labor movements, reminding us that the fight for justice in our workplaces and communities continues. As we build toward the nation’s largest May Day mobilization, we remember whose shoulders we stand on. That includes women like Lucy Parsons. #WomensHistoryMonth #ChicagoHistory

When baby Ahlam was born in November, she didn't ask to be born into a genocide. bit.ly/ibsalem But she still needs diapers and formula. That's why we're asking you to consider a monthly donation. Even $5 or $15 monthly will make a great difference.
