Penn State faculty vote to form union https://t.co/ZoduDNOlXr

[Stephen Caruso @StephenJ_Caruso]

Inbox: The 5,000 strong faculty of Penn State, including faculty members across all departments, full-time and part-time, and at the main and satellite campuses, have unionized with SEIU Local 668. The union says its the largest public sector win in 50 years.

s/o to my co-authors for all working on this paper on top of working their full-time jobs as EJ practitioners across the US and to Dr. Paul Mohai & @UMSEAS for giving me the opportunity to advise a masters capstone project. If you need access to the paper, please reach out!

New(ish) article w my former masters advisees Anna Bunting, Dinah George, John McClure, Megan Husted & Skyler Kriese and our community advisors Rhonda Anderson, Dr. Leonard, & Theresa Landrum is out in Environmental Justice. https://t.co/K6qWlgm8U0

We talk environmental justice screening tools & ways to intentionally prioritize community voices & needs. Gov agencies are increasingly deploying EJSTs, but often with exclusively quantitative data and without affected communities themselves. That’s where we hope to intervene.

can confirm it was extremely tense in one of the satellite rooms (full of regular old white people) while she was speaking

That is very much not how these people acted when they evicted us from college campuses and came after our jobs.

Jordan Acker is telling the media this morning at the convention his Slack messages are FAKE. I will be back in Detroit tomorrow and I will be meeting with the media with my computer to demonstrate that these are very, very real.

So, the Democrats are going to nominate Acker today for Regent and it will come out in the next couple of days that not only did he send these inappropriate messages but that he is lying to the media to their faces.

[Kasey Helton @KaseyHelton05]

This is the only appropriate reaction to a regent who makes lewd sex comments about women in a chat and discloses their PHI with a photo of them.

Amir Makled defeats UM Regent Jordan Acker to win the Michigan Democratic Party's endorsement for the University of Michigan's governing board in another win for the party's progressive wing. Incumbent Paul Brown won the party's other endorsement.

Pro-Israel-backed candidates lost to pro-Palestinian opponents in Michigan Ag/U-M regent primary races. Sign of the times

[Sam Robinson @samueljrob]

Party members sent a message delivering victories for anti-war progressives at the Michigan Democratic Party convention tonight. Garlin Gilchrist, Eli Savit and Amir Makled were winners over Suzanne Shkreli, Karen McDonald and Jordan Acker.

let’s gooooo

[Michigan Democrats @MichiganDems]

Congratulations to Amir Makled on winning the Michigan Democratic Party's endorsement for the University of Michigan Board of Regents!

https://t.co/bB6u4mE04D Pro-Israel U-M regent Jordan Acker made lewd, gross comments abt a student and Dem strategist in group chat messages leaked to me 2 days ahead of his primary. He led U-M’s attack on pro-Pal students and faces Amir Makled, one of the students’ attys…

[Tom Perkins @PomTerkins]

Dana Nessel talks abt “unity” and taking on Trump without mentioning that she partnered w the Trump FBI to batter ram pro-Palestinian students’ doors in the name of silencing criticism of Israel. The Palestine Exception in action

[JeffMossDSR @JeffMossDSR]

Jordan Acker used to post in the DSR Slack. He said some disgusting things about a Mallory McMorrow advisor. He inexplicably outed a female U of M student. I have EVERY receipt.

Acker had an attorney tell the Guardian today that he was never on Slack. Here is the article. And if Acker tries to deny this is him, I will sit down with any news agency that requests it and provide access to my devices and prove without a shadow of a doubt that these missives were written by the current U of M regent.

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

"The undercover investigators have cursed at students, threatened them and in one case drove a car at a student who had to jump out of the way, according to student accounts and video footage shared with the Guardian."

[Ryan @Ryan_Reilly78]

@nkulw Free speech activists were effusive in their praise for Michigan when they announced “institutional neutrality.” Now when we see what they mean by neutrality these same activists are dead quiet
