@Tom_Suozzi Working class and poor also care about their rights and freedoms. 8/10 ballot measures protecting reproductive rights passed. Even in Long Island. Don’t misunderstand. Social justice is also economic justice. And transphobia isn’t acceptable from Dems or anyone.
Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil.
We must stand in solidarity with @LulaOficial’s democratically elected government. 🇧🇷
The US must cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida.
Cops are not above the law. Wishing the injured officers a full recovery but stand in solidarity with my SBU colleague Anna Hayward, who the PBA is vilifying for asking if officers could have de-escalated this, as the AG also is asking as required by law.

Speaking out about an individuals’ bad behavior does not make one “anti” anything. It makes us free to speak and also conscious of what our society needs. If I blast the president’s bad actions, it does not make me “anti-president”.
Special thanks to @senatormattera and @NYSenPalumbo for sending this letter to Carl Lejuez, our @SBUProvostCL in support of UUP's advocacy to increase the current adjunct minimum which stands at a mere $3,750 per 3 cred course! RT if you agree that adjuncts deserve MUCH more!!✊
🚨We continue to advocate for increases to @stonybrooku adjunct pay & are seeking department-specific information regarding adjuncts' pay per course.
What is the per-course pay for adjuncts in your department? 🤔
Let us know at westchapter @ uupsbu dot org or at (631) 632-6570
We exist. Regardless of your efforts to erase us. We are as natural as breathing air. And we don’t deserve to be attacked and targeted constantly. We are human. And we are not going away. #dontsaygay#vote#weexist https://t.co/ZTfANlqNY4
@WGSSSBU Great documentary. A good look at what women are capable of when working together. A look at life before Roe v Wade with new meaning now post the repeal.

As a geneticist, I am appalled and I ask that all scientists denounce the @edmontonpolice department for this disgusting use of pseudoscientific, eugenic, racism. Shameful.
#HispanicHeritageMonth opening ceremony speaker Dr. Miguel García-Diaz speaking about his path from Spain to Stony Brook, the representation of Latinos in science and academia, and the places we can and should find belonging.
Power never gives to those beneath willingly and out of the goodness of its heart. It has to be fought for. I’m honoring those who lost their lives fighting for the rights we have by continuing to fight until we have true equity in this world. For all. #equity
Activism isn’t trying to get one leader into the hall of power, so they can be co-opted, paraded, or destroyed. Activism is convincing everyone else to break down the doors to return some measure of power to where it belongs.
When Public universities get “flagship” status, they recruit more out of state kids who pay ⬆️ tuition.”
This often reduces diversity.
In NY state, black students are ~16% of high school grads, but only ~6% of students at SBU, the flagship.
Shameful
