Nearly 90 faculty and staff members at The New School have been laid off over the past week. “It’s a chilling message to all of academia … as universities act more and more like corporations,” says Jeremy Varon, a professor of history at The New School who's been forced to take early retirement.

Is infrastructure sabotage always a destructive act led by seditious individuals? no
my new article in @HGJournal studies Colombian public sector workers ‘breaking’ infrastructure to oppose privatization in 1992, and argues sabotage can reshape policies, politicize society & more

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today (w/ @NYSenatorRivera), where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

a brief 🧵

[Mbuyiseni Ndlozi @MbuyiseniNdlozi]

The news of the passing of my comrade, sister and teacher Prishani Naidoo, came as a crushing pain as the year draws to a close. 💔 this year has truly taken so much from us. 💔 but with Prishani, it took everything!

Prishani was a dedicated scholar with an uncompromising commitment to horizontal revolutionary pedagogy and knowledge praxis. A powerful thinker who sought to understand the ability of the oppressed to form collective agencies for self sufficiency and confrontation of their oppressors.

An activist with impeccable record in national student politics, social movements and international solidarity. She is part of that generation of student leaders who brought Mandela’s government to a standstill in campuses in the mid 1990s demanding Free Education.

I have been on the picket lines with her. What a brave soul! Quintessential embodiment of revolutionary love.

She opened her heart, mind and home for my own development as a young student at Wits. She was a dear friend, with unquestionable love and warmth for me. My heart is broken!

Sincere condolences to her family and to her eternal lover, Ahmed Veriava!

May her soul rest in power! Truly a great mind has ceased to think!

In the richest city of the richest country on the planet, an astonishing *1 in 8* public school students were homeless last year — a 23% increase from the previous year and the highest number ever recorded

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all?

I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

[Andi Shehu @AndShehu]

I lived in Germany for four years. One of the key reasons why I left is the stunning level of daily racism and abuse that German authorities support against people from the Middle East (generically labelled as Muslims, whatever their actual beliefs might be)

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Every politician says New York is the greatest city in the world. But what good is that if no one can afford to live here?

I'm running for Mayor to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers.

Join the fight. https://t.co/ooNzX0rccz
