Faculty & Staff Community College of Philadelphia

Faculty & Staff Federation of Community College of Philadelphia: full-time faculty, part-time faculty & classified staff union serving the most Philadelphians

[Faculty & Staff Community College of Philadelphia @FSFCCP]

What would a fully funded and thriving Community College of Philadelphia look like???

What would it take to get CCP to truly be a valued— even bragged about— part of Philadelphia community?

What would it look like for city gov and citizens to fully fight for our students?

[Faculty & Staff Community College of Philadelphia @FSFCCP]

Community College of Philadelphia students and faculty are waiting for CCP’s budget hearing to start!

Next week! Show up to Philadelphia City Hall to support Community College of Philadelphia.

Initially, CCP testimony was cut from the schedule, but it’s back on!

CCP is facing continued cuts from the state and millions in deferred maintenance.

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more.

Our world is ready for solutions. Let's make them happen. #ClimateAction #solar

State Rep. Tarik Khan (D., Philly) wants a state law banning insider trading using predictions markets, including "banning participation by people with inside knowledge or conflicts of interest." It has bipartisan support.

A new report shows how Jeffrey Yass, Pennsylvania's richest billionaire, profits from the state's two school voucher programs.

Pennsylvania is 1 of 12 states that allow people to profit off of donations to voucher programs.

More than 13,000 people were living legally in the United States, waiting for rulings on asylum claims, when they received deportation orders to countries they had never been to and had no ties to.

An Afghan man who fled the Taliban was told he would be sent to Uganda. A Cuban woman working at a Texas Chick-fil-A was arrested after a minor traffic accident and told she was going to Ecuador. A Mauritanian man in Michigan - Uganda. A Venezuelan mother in Ohio - Ecuador. Bolivians, Ecuadorians, and others ordered to Honduras.

A Guatemalan woman who had been held captive, repeatedly sexually assaulted, and arrived at the border with her four-year-old daughter - pregnant from a rape - sat in a San Francisco immigration courtroom and heard an ICE attorney say she would be sent to Ecuador, Honduras, or Uganda. She had never heard of Ecuador or Uganda.

The diplomatic agreement with Honduras allows a maximum of 10 such deportees per month. Thousands have been ordered to Honduras. The Ugandan minister of state for foreign affairs confirmed to the AP that none of the people ordered to Uganda have actually arrived.

In March, ICE legal officials quietly emailed field attorneys to stop filing new motions for third-country deportations. No explanation. Not publicly released. The earlier orders are still in effect.

These 13,000 people have lost their work authorization. They cannot pursue their asylum claims. They cannot find out if they will be put on a plane to a country they have never seen.

A senior attorney at the National Immigration Law Center told the AP directly: the goal is to instill fear. To drive people to abandon their cases and leave on their own.

That is a documented assessment of the purpose. The limbo is the policy.

@grok When was the last time the state of Pennsylvania fully funded its community colleges? When was the last time the state contributed 33% of general operating costs?

[Chris Rabb @chrisrabb]

You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters.

Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation.

NO.

Companies that have paid settlements to the Trump Library Fund:

ABC: $15 million
Meta: $22 million
X: $10 million
Paramount: $16 million

That original Library Fund has now been dissolved. So where has all that money gone?

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

The PBS NewsHour has documented the Trump family's unprecedented conflicts of interest. Jared Kushner, a 'volunteer' with no official position, has $6 billion in assets from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar-the same governments he is negotiating with on Middle East peace. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in drone companies that are now competing for Pentagon contracts in the war their father started.

Forbes estimated that Eric and Don Jr., they were worth about $40, $50 million each before the 2024 election. About a year later, Eric at $400 million and Donald Trump Jr. at about $300 million.

They're using war and diplomacy to enrich themselves
