Looking at the encampment, it appears as if it’s been there for weeks. Students explained that the encampment was able to be established so quickly, because many of the students had experience supporting the University of Michigan encampment, which lasted for about three weeks and was finally cleared out on May 22....
"The administrators are correct: Their institutions do function in concert with the war machine powering Israel’s genocidal war; their mission does depend on maintaining this alliance, even at the cost of brutalizing their students; and it is this material reality, more than anything else, that explains the ferocity of their...
I'm not sure if it will actually mean anything, but I wasn't actually expecting to see a verdict.
Supreme Court Justice Alto claimed that an inverted American flag flown at his house was not in support of "Stop the Steal", but because of an argument with neighbors....
The NCAA Board of Governors, as well as the parasitic leaders of its five “power conferences” — the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big Ten, Big 12, Southeastern Conference (SEC) and Pac-12 — agreed to pay more than $2.8 billion in back pay and damages over the next 10 years to both past and current athletes. The NCAA,...
Speaking for @Phillyfor Sudan, Amira explained how the efforts to form a democratic government set into motion by the 2018 popular uprising in Sudan have been overthrown by the staged RSF coup in April 2023: “Protests against the coup have demanded a return to democratic negotiations, but the UAE, the U.S., and [its neocolony]...
Speakers at the park explained that the purpose of the rally was to honor health care worker martyrs, describe the untenable conditions of the hospitals in Gaza, and show how major health care networks in Philadelphia are complicit in the carnage by their silence and even more explicitly by their research funding and initiatives...
The financial argument does not hold water. The UAW has committed $40 million to organize unorganized auto workers. We applaud this commitment and hail the victory at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tennessee. However, we find it unacceptable that a union with $40 million to fund organizing cannot part with half a million dollars to...
Bloomberg publishes an article by the famous historian Neil Ferguson “Any great power that spends more on interest payments on its debts than on defense will very soon cease to be great,” writes Ferguson. He notes that, unlike the first Cold War and the war on terror, the United States does not want to send its soldiers...
Other concerns raised at the hearing included a lack of funding for social services and community resources. The Buffalo Public Schools system has had its annual funding increased by only $500,000 in the last 15 years and its administrators are planning to lay off 30 teachers and leave positions made open by retirements vacant...
Lightfoot and White were the only two individuals to go to trial among the group known as the San Diego 11. In the months leading up to the trial, nine of the other protesters against the “Patriot March” in Pacific Beach all pled guilty to a variety of charges, including felony assault and unlawful use of tear gas....
Across the nation, local residents have waged successful campaigns to resist censorship, with students, authors, and librarians fighting back in creative and powerful ways. For example, students in York, Pennsylvania, led fights to overturn school boards sanctioning censorship. Freedom to read advocates have run and secured...
In a hearing before the 5th Circuit court of appeals, lawyers on behalf of Texas tried to argue both that the giant buoys the state has deployed in the Rio Grande are necessary to ward off an "invasion" of immigrants, and that the Rio Grande is more of a creek than a river—because if it is "navigable" then the federal...
Despite the lack of any evidence that it's happening, and despite the existence of laws that already make it a crime, the GOP is using the "non-citizen voting" bogeyman to scare people and cast further doubt on the integrity of elections....
While Democrats put the long-dead Border Security Bill on life support in another time-wasting vote this Thursday, the Biden administration is working behind the scenes to "adjust" immigration policy in a way that looks awfully familiar. In the face of the GOP's vast disapproval and promises of filibustering the bill that was...
On May 20, 1,500 student workers at UC Santa Cruz took to the picket lines....
Perry, a 30-year-old white man who had posted numerous racist statements on social media, drove his car into the crowd and killed Garrett Foster, one of the protesters. Foster, who was also white, was pushing his life partner in her wheelchair when he was gunned down....
“We chose to file this case on May 1, in solidarity with workers around the world, because ending forced prison labor in ADOC isn’t just about stopping the state’s extractive profiteering from the labor of Black people — both inside and outside of prisons. It’s also about eliminating the control that forced prison...
ByteDance argues that the ban is unconstitutional and unjustly targets a Chinese company. The Congressional supporters of the bill are attempting to reframe it as a mere call for a sale of TikTok, not a ban. Their feeble arguments are meant to divert attention from the fact that the TikTok ban, a deliberate political and...
