The way that claims about candidates' purported stances toward ICE are being used in Democratic primary campaigns in 2026 is absolutely fucking wild.

This is what solidarity looks like.

@psc-cuny.org stands shoulder to shoulder with St. John’s University in their fight to maintain faculty union representation and collective bargaining rights on campus.

Mark Levine has questions about Zohran Mamdani’s math At a preliminary budget hearing Wednesday, the comptroller will outline his two-year budget gap estimate of at least $7.3 billion, and explain why he’s skeptical about the mayor’s revenue projections.

If the Comptroller's report is accurate, then NYC is staring down billions in budget gaps and the solution is right in front of us. Raise $3B from millionaires. Protect working families. The legislature needs to pass the Fair Share Act. #TaxTheRich

Very bummed to learn that the editor of my first book is no longer with the press after 28 years. I'll be forever indebted to her for what she taught me about developmental editing (and all the rest too). I hope she is going to be okay.

Let NYU management know that you support the union's demand for a fair contract:

Flyer announcing that CFU-UAW at NYU has set a strike deadline of March 23, 2006. The contract faculty have been attempting to negotiate their first collective bargaining agreement for well over a year.

Contract faculty at NYU have been in negotiations for over a year for their first collective bargaining agreement, but management has been recalcitrant. The union has set a strike deadline of March 23 -- 2 weeks from today.

Booker is low-key one of the worst Senate Dems, and he has a lot of competition.

Yep. You’re going to say “fuck tha police” one day and a month later you won’t be able to get through TSA.

NYU professors set strike deadline, student resident advisors protest missed payments - The Chief At a rally staged just after New York University’s unionized full-time, non-tenure track faculty held their latest bargaining session with university management, union leadership announced that if the...

“Our union members do not want to go out on strike. This is something they have been pushed into doing. We’re hopeful that we will be able to resolve this without withdrawing our labor."

The Dept of War just asked Congress for an additional 50 billion dollars. And at the same time, the state is policing what kinds of food SNAP recipients can purchase.

fREeDOM!!!

Virginia State University ignored tenure & procedural protections when they abruptly fired 6 faculty from the university's Agricultural Research Station.

In this episode of AAUP TV, @chenjerai.bsky.social and @proftwolf.bsky.social speak with two of VSU's Fired Six about this egregious decision.

And also a huge untapped stream of revenue for public transit.

The absence of permit parking in NYC is absolutely fucking ridiculous. There would be many fewer cars in my neighborhood if it were implemented.

The war on Iran is causing gas and oil price explosions.

Our research shows: Fossil fuel prices are the most important prices for inflation and inequality. Energy price shocks are redistribution shocks. The poorer you are, the larger the share of income you spend on essentials.

Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.

University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.

NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

#OtD 4 Mar 1972 thousands of autoworkers in Lordstown GM plant walked out on strike. They held out for 22 days and whilst concessions were won, the UAW union declared victory despite management not conceding to main grievances. More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e99-...

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

I heard a little about this meeting several weeks ago -- it seems to me like Weingarten is trying to have it both ways (in keeping with the "union of professionals" brand).

The NEA & NEH support job opportunities for union creative professionals in every state, while providing Americans w/access to enriching programs that lift up local economies. That’s why we must urge Congress to commit to increased funding for the NEA & NEH in FY27. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

America’s Long War on Iran Didn’t Start This Weekend - Dame Magazine From the 1953 CIA-backed coup to Trump’s latest strikes, America’s attempts to reshape Iran have fueled instability, sanctions, and endless escalation.

In case you’re unfamiliar with our decades of interference in Iran, I wrote up a primer on it for @damemagazine.bsky.social. When Hegseth says that Iran’s been at war with us for decades, he’s got it totally backwards. At the end of the day, that’s us.

My contribution to the recent Corolla discourse: Before my senior year of high school I bought a 10-year old '77 Corolla with a 1600cc engine and a 5-speed standard transmission for $800. By far and away it was the best car I ever owned. RIP.
