Let’s remember: Niloufar Hamedi, the Iranian journalist who broke the news of #Mahsa_Amini ‘s death at the hands of Iran’s morality police. She and many other journalists are in prison! #مهسا_امینی#اعتصابات_سراسری#IranProtests2022
Another devastating loss. Security forces in Iran fatally shot #DariushAlizadeh for honking in his car in support of protestors in Sanandaj (Kurdistan province). His mother’s message “Don’t offer condolences. Continue the uprising.”

There are country-wide calls to action coming in for most days of the week now. There was one for today (Monday). Other ones have been sent out for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The streets are on fire.

As faculty at @Northeastern I'm appalled that the admin's allowing the dining hall workers to be laid off without pay and rent is due this week!! @Northeastern should join @Harvard and @MIT in doing the right thing--take care of those who take care of us throughout the year!

True love is radical because it requires us to see ourselves in all people. Otherwise, it isn’t love.
Love is revolutionary because it has us treat ALL people as we would ourselves - not because we are charitable, but because we are one.
That is love’s radical conclusion.
“In the moment we’re in, our campaigns can’t just be about Bargaining for wages and benefits — we need to go beyond that and bargain ways to improve the communities our members are part of.” @snbhatti of @ACREcampaigns#CommonGoodOnCampus

Stop what you're doing and watch Jay-Z's 'Family Feud' if you need to see Jay-Z's and Ava DuVernay's utopian America of women leaders: https://t.co/FRyUmMsg7x
When you report this you remember she was human: mother, daughter, sister, aunt. Her heart was bigger than the world. It really really was. She cared when most people wouldn't have. She was good. She only pursued right, no matter what. No one gave her justice.
#EricaGarner was born into systemic poverty. Grew up in a country where state sponsored deaths does unpunished. Died fighting for a cause older, and bigger than herself.
