Of course @umich administration is going to blame students for outbreaks while they rake in the cash from campus housing, dining halls, and a packed football stadium. U-M made this situation—they’re not getting away with this. #UMich #Michigan #AnnArbor

#UMich administration and the entire political establishment has deliberately downplayed the threat of the #DeltaVariant. The question of an outbreak at U-M is not a matter of if but when.

@YDSAUMich 4/4: For those serious about politics and wanting to know the real differences between the DSA and IYSSE+SEP, I suggest starting w/ this article: https://t.co/dAJY10AMT6

The people tweeting ice picks at socialists belong in the same category as those who tweet ovens at Jews and nooses at black people.

They say, "LOL Can't take a joke?"

It's not funny and it's not a joke. The people who are doing this have no place on the political left.

[Tom Hall @tomhallsep]

Posting memes about Trotsky's assassination may win you high fives from College Democrats but it forever discredits you in the eyes of workers, who take state violence against the working class seriously. What is telling is that many leading DSAers don't seem to notice or care.

@EricLondonSEP will speak at our next online meeting, "The pseudo-left and the fight against imperialist war: The role of AOC, the DSA, and the Democratic Party."

The #pandemic will continue until there is a conscious and independent intervention of the working class to remove control of the management and direction of the response to the virus from the capitalist ruling elites and into its own hands.

The ICFI is initiating the formation of new forms of independent, democratic and militant rank-and-file organizations of workers on a global scale, which is the only way that the pandemic can be fought.

Explaining the social phenomenon of police killings through a single factor, racism, leaves out a majority of the victims. The media’s presentation implies that police killings of whites and others are legitimate. #PoliceBrutality #ChauvinTrial

Facebook moderators worked “around the clock” with law enforcement to contain organized political opposition to police murder in “high-risk locations” such as Minneapolis under the pretext of limiting “content that could lead to civil unrest or violence.” https://t.co/qLqSW9dNgB

The @nytimes has a special page to track COVID in Michigan which omits any mention of K-12 schools, the #1 source of spread in the state for 7 weeks running. They falsely present colleges, prisons, nursing homes, and 2 meat packing plants as the worst. (https://t.co/ouTEAc2KoD)

@athompson1917 @ElleSteinhagen @JerryHo46746037 @AmpedUpPodcast @EricLondonSEP @ProudSocialist @AOC @DemSocialists Agree w Andy. Any org you are looking at consider their political program and the history of the party. Some organizations claim that history isn’t important. The SEP isn’t one of them. Feel free to DM w questions.

Excellent review of "The New York Times' 1619 Project & the Racialist Falsification of History."

Can't stress strongly enough: Buy this book. Proud to have been one of many to have contributed to it. The WSWS demolished the @nytimes. Here is the record.

Biden proposes $753 billion defense budget, 16% increase. Millions are unemployed, hungry, homeless & Biden/Dems prepare for world war.

This is the admin that @AOC/@DemSocialists say it is "bad faith" & "privileged" to oppose from the left. Tell that to victims of imperialism.

"CDC is sending two completely conflicting messages: variants are coming, everyone stay home but also open schools and allow our children to congregate...three feet is closer than most people stood near each other before COVID...it basically negates distancing altogether.”

All the public relations assistance cushioning the #UMich Regents will not prevent the most politically conscious students from recognizing the dangerous character of these statements.

[IYSSE at University of Michigan @iysseum]

University of Michigan Regent Weiser "jokes" about killing Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans less than six months since 14 men were arrested by FBI for plotting to kidnap and kill Governor Whitmer and overthrow the govt in #Michigan.

@Iysseum expresses our support for the stand taken by striking graduate student workers at #CUOnStrike. Living wages, job security, better health care coverage and working conditions are the same issues that confront students & workers across the world.

There is a battle underway at #ColumbiaUniversity

Grad students are up against a collection of multi-millionaire hedge fund managers & CEOs with deep ties to Wall Street, Corporate America, and the Democratic Party. #spreadthestrike #CUonStrike

AFT President Randi Weingarten tells Texas teacher Michael Hull, founder of @AgainstDying, “We’re not going to fight to keep the schools closed.” Watch and share this video widely! https://t.co/CtPII5nsZK
