i think what people might be missing? obscuring? is that KH is currently part of the biden-harris administration that is actively sending bombs right now, and should be pressured to stop it right now, in addition to what she pledges to do in the future as president

Crazy how if you (apparently) have high levels of testosterone TERFs will call you a man but if you’re like okay then I’ll take some more and be a man they’re like NO YOU’RE NOT

in the meantime the rest of CUNY is literally in shambles. elevators broken for years at a time, rats, mold, water damage, poor ventilation. and yet the BoT can allocate *millions* of dollars for urgent expenses when it comes to policing students!

It has to be assured that the workers who likely died in the bridge collapse “are all hard-working, humble men” because their humanity in this country is only worth their output. Their existence has to be justified even in such horrific undeserved circumstances.

When the news talks about Biden proposing $60 billion "for Ukraine" and $14 billion "for Israel," an important omission is that this money is being recycled into for-profit weapons manufacturers owned by many of the wealthiest segments of the global population.

NEWS: Morehouse College—an HBCU in Georgia—took every dime of debt they had in collections and transferred it to us.

Today, we're announced that we've canceled all of it.

Now, nearly 3,000 people—mostly Black men—can access transcripts and move on with their lives.

Construction value is not the measure of the success of a city or its mayor. Residents can't eat and drink new construction. They aren't educated by it. It doesn't lift them out of poverty. It doesn't put fluoride in the water or take lead out of it. And it doesn't pay the rent.
