Could America please be known for something else?
Maybe he shouldn’t have been doing all those pull-ups and push ups. 🧐
From the St. John's University mission statement:
"Wherever possible, we devote our intellectual and physical resources to search out the causes of poverty and social injustice and to encourage solutions that are adaptable, effective, and concrete."
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.
"You can't just disappear a union that's over 50 years old."
— @yuhline.bsky.social, New York State Assembly Member
Our leaders are coming together to demand that Father Shanley respects the collective bargaining rights of faculty at St. John's University.
Inspired by St. John's University AAUP's action today at Madison Square Garden? Moved by political and labor leaders' calls for Father Shanley to recognize faculty unions and collective bargaining rights?
Be sure to support by signing and sharing the SJU AAUP petition.
Hands off SJU unions!
For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:
A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.
Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.
When even war crimes arent enough of a distraction!
Love the conclusion! Nailed it!
“But giving people good things, such as full access to nutritious food, makes Republicans sad. Taking things away from people, especially in a capricious manner, makes Republicans happy.”
The faculty leaders are the only ones who point out these unions were recognized under NYS law - State Employment Relations Act (SERA) - which, unlike federal NLRB process, does not have a religious exemption. So all the references to NLRB and the religious exemption are irrelevant.
“Father Brian Shanley is violating New York state law & ignoring decades of St. John’s institutional practice & centuries of Catholic social teaching around respect for labor & workers."
— Sophie Bell, St. John's University AAUP President
Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"
@schumer.senate.gov this!
In a long tweet about Anthropic, Pete Hegseth, through the offical "SecWar" Twitter account says "the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic."
Hegseth is wholeheartedly endorsing the core premise of fascism: industry, as part of the private sphere, must be subordinated to the military objectives of the state.
Smart politics- highlighting the one thing that will get the establishment, to vote against “Dr.” Casey. 🤣 “Food” lobby is powerful. I’m not a hater. Have her Good Energy book. Lots of good common sense stuff in there - no hint of her anti-vax position- sure some weirdness. And Whoot shrooms😉
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.
Brad Lander: “It’s pretty outrageous…once people think that they don’t have to follow the law because the president doesn’t, workers suffer, our universities suffer, students & faculty suffer.”
St. John’s University can’t just UNrecognize faculty unions after 56 years. That’s not the law works.
a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal
Grift all the way down
Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Congrats to Columbia AAUP on successfully standing up against ICE recruitment on campus.
Let's keep organizing and go all out to get ICE off our campuses.

Culture-war applause lines don’t win wars. Decision quality does.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.
Quite a return on investment, huh?
Last I checked buying liquor and checking out books weren’t constitutionally protected rights. Will the federal government be paying for everyone’s real id? If not, is that a poll tax? 🧐 My student who works at the local liquor store does not card me, but he does pass along his employee discount 😉
Democrats continue to hold the line on DHS funding while Republicans demand more money for the regime’s secret police. Urge Democrats to keep up the fight to get ICE Out For Good and tell Republicans to agree to a DHS funding bill that protects our communities and civil rights.
