“We condemn the administrations of Rutgers, U. Michigan, and Governors State for their obstinance, and we unconditionally support the demands of the workers for a living wage and adequate working conditions.”

@JortsTheCat When my baby Carl was under a year old, I heard him crying like a tiny baby, and it turned out he'd gotten himself on top of the cabinet above the fridge, and could not figure out how to get down.

The administration tells ours students that faculty and advisors are not needed to keep the university going. Our students know better.

@NFAMadness Don't forget the flautists!

[Holly A Stovall @hollyannstovall]

Good, but I want to know how it is that Admins get to use public funds to hire attorneys to fight public employees (faculty, and bargaining unit), while faculty have to raise their own funds to form union and hire help.

Students and staff are being told the strike is our fault. It’s not working. #UPI4100 #GSUonStrike #StrikeforGSU

Bud light shouldn’t apologize for a sponsored post with a trans individual.

Why don’t we hear about these same homophobic and transphobic assholes losing their mind whenever brands run sponsored advertisements every day with other LGBTQ people all the time?

Raising the debt ceiling doesn’t cost us a penny. Failing to raise it means the government won’t be able to pay its bills, throwing our economy into chaos.

Write a letter to the editor of your local paper & tell Congress to raise the debt ceiling ASAP. https://t.co/4MAd6AkX6E
