Hurry hard + geometry.
In response to our academic freedom campaign, Yale has created a new committee to address the issue. Yale AAUP welcomes the administration’s recognition that academic freedom is the lifeblood of the university, but faculty need action, not just statements.

Now imagine being the latter living among the former. It's a trip man!
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Looking forward to teaching the history of the Constitution and just using the past tense.
We should be furious to live in a country that does this—to be at the mercy of a flailing empire that always chooses death and conquest over peace and justice. We should be furious at a political system that makes it so much easier to kill people than to help them. We should be furious at an establishment that lusts so ardently for war, and that has so much contempt for humanity. We should be furious at the untrammeled power of a global ruling class that causes so much suffering. And we should recommit to the most important task ahead: destroying as much of that power as we can.

Hands Off St. John’s Faculty!
Crowd gathers
Powerful rally at St. John’s University today against unprecedented union busting tactics by President Father Shanley who, after 56 years, is refusing to recognize SJU’s two longstanding faculty unions.
SJU faculty have been working without a contract for 239 days!
Union busting is disgusting.
Another option! youtu.be/qtPJ6EtueMU?...
We need to stop measuring the economy by how wealthy the top 1% are doing or by how much the stock market has increased.
Instead we need to start measuring a country’s success by its standard of living, its access to healthcare/education and its the levels of homelessness/poverty.

My kids in the fall, weeping: "Why do you make us watch the Jays?"
My kids in late winter, wailing: "Why did you make us watch this game!?"
My kids all year when I'm watching cycling: "Daddy what is this."
This is correct. A serious “middle power” would be investing like mad right now in advanced knowledge right across the disciplines. It is the best reaction to the world’s greatest power seeking to return to the Middle Ages.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Oh…
Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to read slop shat out by the plagiarism machine.
Yale professors Tarren Andrews and David Watts urge Yale to defend academic freedom!
The Yale AAUP and Faculty Senate have proposed contract changes to protect free speech and free inquiry at our university. Now, we need the university to defend its core values.

Bookstores rule.
That's one year AFTER Marty and Doc arrived in the future.
BREAKING: the AAUP and @democracydefendersfund.org filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump admin's “Gold Card” visa program, which unlawfully sells US residency to wealthy individuals while pushing aside scientists, researchers, engineers, and other outstanding professionals.

Every stupid story about this should begin and end with "this isn't possible because of Indigenous treaty rights."
Great news. Join!
Surprised they didn't put this in the Fashion section.

This is *sigh of relief* temperature in Montreal or Ottawa. This is early spring in Winnipeg.
Can't believe we're hurtling towards doomsday because of the Mercator projection.
We are waiting for Judge Young's order in AAUP v. Rubio, but today he proposed a remedy that is small step forward. He said a remedy could be no ideological deportations for "noncitizens who are members of the @aaup.org and the Middle East Studies Association."

Everyone join a good union so that you, too, can yell at the president.
There is nothing more pure and energizing than a highschool walk out. There's a reason why everyone of a certain age chants "Donna Martin Graduates!" when shit goes down.
Failing to do what is both RIGHT and also very EASY. Tripping over the lowest of bars...
