A surprise hailstorm hit the Mexican city of Puebla, covering the streets with thick sheets of ice amid scorching temperatures

The city of Delano has approved Niagara to pump & bottle 1,792 acre feet of water a year from the massively overdrafted aquifer. The local water district (SSJMUD) which is also the groundwater sustainability agency is suing to stop it. Great reporting from loishenry & SJV Water

this is insane. they are literally writing their own exam and grading it themselves

And they are never mentioned. Do their families miss them less? Are they less human? In Biden and Blinken’s eyes, yes.

Incredible worker-student solidarity in struggle for Gaza and Palestine.

President of Ontario Federation of Labour calls on all unions and workers to defend student encampment at U of T.

'If you decide to move against the students, you’ll have to go through the workers first.'

Listening now:

What a weird way of saying Israel is defying the ICJ order, in accordance with the genocide convention, to stop its assault on Rafah.

It’s not “fierce criticism,” it’s called international law.

Deleted and reposted that last tweet due to a typo that was really annoying me lol

I’m with 🍉Prof. Thrasher is (not) a “goon”. Fuck all the pro-genocide monsters and charlatans who would vilify an educator who put his body on the line to protect his students. That action alone is all the moral credibility anyone needs in my eyes.

Essential listening/reading for ANYONE organizing on ANY front of struggle right now:

“Your unmet needs are not meeting anyone else’s needs. If anything, your hurt, left untended, is compromising your ability to tend to the hurt of others.”
We all need each other …means we need you, too. So, take care of yourselves, friends. Rest, refuel, and stay in the fight.”

in addition to being a brilliant scholar and journalist steven is a profoundly decent, compassionate, and morally committed teacher and human being; for him to be targeted and slandered as a 'goon' in congress is unconscionable x.com/ajbauer/status…

Hey wait a second that looks suspiciously similar to social media companies harvesting our data and collaborating with the government to spy on us, something I was told was very bad when China was doing it.

can't stop thinking about the photo of the IDF soldier proudly posing in front of the Gaza university library he set on fire after a weeks-long meltdown in U.S. media about student protesters setting up tents on lawns

entitled millennials are “quiet nourishing” - taking 20, even 30 minutes out of the middle of the work day to eat food. we interviewed 87 corporate bosses who hate it

Fulbright once asked me to write about my time as a Scholar. I wrote about how great it was to live in Palestine and 4 my kids to experience the beauty of our homeland + struggle for justice 1st hand. Not only did they reject my piece, they scraped entire section off the website!

“The remedy to alienation, a state that often keeps people cooperative and docile in the face of injustice, is belonging…We have to intentionally build a culture of belonging that embraces the time and space for healing work as part of that culture” Puff the Magic Hater NYC Tw*tterati
