2. Is there a reason that the centrist organizations you lionize (Third Way, the Lincoln Project, Center for American Progress, etc.) are not organizing campus resistance? Why are they not flexing their institutional power to publicly resist fascism? Be the change, Stacy. (3/3)

I was arrested for protesting during spring '24. Two of my fellow protestors were only acquitted last week, nearly two years after. Protesters at my campus had wrists broken by cops and had their civil rights violated in jail. Others were indefinitely suspended. Under Biden(1/3)

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

California’s $20 an hour fast food minimum wage, instituted in 2024, did not reduce employment. It led to only the most modest of price increases—barely noticeable to a consumer. It significantly improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers. capitalandmain.com/despite-apocal…

This is quite the NAZI apologia

Not great that my academic job prospects are tied to the success of this tweet

1/ After 28 months of bargaining our first contract, @propublica management continues to take unacceptable positions on the issue of artificial intelligence.

1/ Today, we filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board over @propublica management’s unilateral implementation of an AI policy without first bargaining with our union. Of note, the policy provides no job protections to our members.

Notice how he never talks about anything he’s actually done? Turns out it’s hard to run on kicking off the opioid epidemic…

@GovPressOffice I really don't understand how war criminal posting helps the people of California or assuages concerns about Newsom's electability in '28
