If Fordham University wasn't feeling rattled by Fordham Graduate Student Workers-CWA they wouldn't be issuing threats against grad workers, faculty, and undergrads. They may as well just say 'the pressure is working, keep it up.'

This is potentially catastrophic so I do not want to undersell the horror of what could unfold esp if the US gets involved but: it needs to be said Iran offered de-escalation after Israel’s unprovoked attack if Israel would cease its slaughter in Gaza. Israel chose war.

As a Fordham grad I'm appalled at how my alma mater is treating Fordham Graduate Student Workers-CWA. I'm joining Sunday's 10am informational picket at the Bronx campus to support the union's fight.

Inasmuch as rent controlled tenants are 'prevented' from moving, it's by the high prices everywhere else, not the low price they have. Suggesting that rent controlled tenants would be better off if their rent went up and *forced* them to move is gross and insulting.

Y’all be talking about not being obligated to help your friends move, pick them up/drop them off at the airport.. what do you even do for your friends? Besides show up to their birthday dinners and cause confusion when the bill comes.

Berlin police just canceled the entire Palestine Congress. I was the only speaker that successfully finished a speech.

Salman Abu Sitta was cut off after 1 minute. Our livestream ended and electricity cut off.

This is Germany.

Police have stormed the Palestine Congress and demanded that the livestream stop. The mask is fully off; this is pure authoritarianism.

As Chair of Civil Service and Labor and a Fordham alum, I’m proud to stand with Fordham Graduate Student Workers-CWA as they continue to negotiate a fair contract.

Fordham University come in good faith! Graduate workers take care and educate future leaders — it’s time we compensate them fairly

Graduate student workers are essential to the life of Fordham University. The least they deserve is a fair contract. I stand in solidarity with Fordham Graduate Student Workers-CWA.

A little rain won’t stop us! ☔️

Fordham University didn’t get the message that when you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us in CWA

Onwards to a fair contract! We are with you Fordham Graduate Student Workers-CWA
