β€œWhen management says they can't afford better wages or they can't fix staffing, we'll have the receipts showing exactly how they're running these stores into the ground. That's how we stop fighting their fights on their terms and start fighting ours on ours.”

In the Fight Against ICE, Kids Are on the Front Lines From tear gas attacks to violent abductions, we are collectively witnessing the mass-scale abuse of children. Young people are fighting back.

Young people, as always, are showing up for the most urgent political strugglesβ€”and a lot of adults need to learn from them. I wrote about the stakes of intergenerational solidarity against ICE.

each time i teach a course, it feels like i cut more and more material out (especially for upper level courses). i think this isn't because students aren't keeping up, but instead me getting out of grad school mode (read as much as possible!) and getting better at teaching undergrads.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: β€œTHIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
