It’s a tough day at NY Public Radio. My former WNYC 🎙 colleagues are receiving layoff notices. When will management take accountability for so many wrong decisions in recent years?

A week or so ago, I decided to try and figure out how many colleges and universities changed their protest policies over the summer. The answer: 50+ campuses across the country.

Last year nearly 200 environmental defenders were killed — certainly an undercount. The leading culprit? The mining industry. The most dangerous region? Latin America. These are the stark realities we need to confront as we face a new mining boom linked to the energy transition

Really proud to be newly a part of the growing worker-run media movement, and excited to talk about it with some of the folks who helped lead the way this Thursday. Come through if you're in Philly! Sounds like there may be a livestream if you're not.

there are more men like Freddie on death row. more will die if we don't act. Marcellus Williams will die in a few days if we can't convince the governor to stop. if you can send an email, call, anything, you might save Marcellus Williams's life. innocenceproject.org/who-is-marcell…

Inbox: Cornell students allege yesterday was the “first [known] time a U.S. university has enacted deportation powers against a student” over pro-Palestine organizing, effectively deporting grad student Momodou Taal, over a protest of defense contractors at a job fair last week

2 yrs ago, I wrote a The New Yorker story about the shocking rise of aging student debtors. Since then, a group of older debtors w The Debt Collective 🟥 have been regularly meeting, planning, organizing. 2 wks ago, dozens of them travelled to Wash D.C. to demand relief. /🧵

This is such an outrageous story. If you're a university administrator, how do you not know that history will judge you? How do you not see the shame you're bringing upon yourself and the institutions you work for? thenation.com/article/societ…

Update: The VP of student and campus life, Ryan Lombardi, rejected my appeal after one business day. This demonstrates once again that my ability to stay in this country is being hastily handled without due process in a continued attempt to silence me. I have until 5pm
