Come by our table at Activities Day! We’ve met over 230 interested students already and are excited to keep talking to you all about building the movement for socialism on campus 💥🌹

Since September 11th, 30,177 US soldiers have died by their own hand, while 7,057 have died in combat, at the hands of official enemies. The machine of militarism which has cost $32 mill per hour, for the past 20 years, has killed so many in so many ways.

The lives of those who tragically lost loved ones on 9/11 will never be the same. We should never forget them. We should also not forget those whose lives were permanently altered by 9/11 without having been anywhere near Ground Zero. This is a thread about them:

Here are the faces of those killed in the last known drone strike of America's twenty-year war, the latest among thousands of civilian casualties from air strikes, mostly faceless to us. Ungrievable lives, as Judith Butler put it. But we can look into this family's eyes:

May today remind us that the ruling class view crisis as an opportunity to seize power & make profit & will criminalize us at every turn if we let them. We must use crisis to take care of each other in solidarity, build power & create the better world we know is possible.

this showed up on my TL right after i finally finished the 17 page syllabus i’ve been working on all day and i feel extremely seen

Good morning. College should be free. It should be $0. It shouldn't cost money. Education is a public good that yields incalculable rewards for society. Learning should not be a commodity. Student loans shouldn't exist. Indebtedness for college attendance is a trap/scam.

it's only the first day of school and we already got news of a positive COVID case in our school building. why exactly are we insisting on reopening schools in-person at full capacity, when there are literally 7x more daily COVID cases in NYC now compared to this time last year?

In a sense, our bosses and lenders collude to rob us twice: first by underpaying us, then by charging us interest to borrow the money we need to make ends meet.

Israel is an apartheid state. Period.

This whole 'leftists in the imperial core must only focus on critiquing our own gov' disregards the lived experience of many immigrants in the diaspora. We should be focusing on how different states have amplified and benefited from the Western imperial order.

im on strike and i wrote about it too

Our eight Socialist in Office stand in solidarity with the striking grad students workers at Student Workers of Columbia. You can read their open letter to the Columbia President below 👇

BREAKING: Faculty have joined the strike pledge, joining graduate student workers in pledging to withhold final grades until @NYUniversity meets our demands. Sign the pledge at linktr.ee/graderefusalnyu

This is a significant escalation in faculty-student solidarity with each other and with Palestine.

Hi everyone! A little personal writing update: I'm writing a sci-fi novel series now exploring the question of what a socialist revolution might look like. If you're interested in updates on my writing, follow me on Substack! substack.com/@emmalinebenne… speculativeworldbuilding.substack.com
