Instead, they are treating them alternately as clients and as children, people to be pleased or managed. https://t.co/zBy9Lmvg0s

How indecent!

When a manufacturer threatens to sue the people who saved lives by 3D printing valves for broken ventilators, you know it's time to rethink the whole IP thing

btw cost when down from $11,000 down to $1

Children learn what they live.

Put kids in a class and they will live out their lives in an invisible cage, isolated from their chance at community;

interrupt kids with bells and horns all the time and they will learn that nothing is important or worth finishing;

[Dee W Hock @deewhock]

A university degree proves beyond doubt that one is willing to spend a great deal of money, and four years of a life navigating oceans of professorial pontificating for a piece of paper certifying one has done so. What else it proves, is very often difficult to discern.

Exporting millions of tonnes of toxic garbage to poorer nations is a grossly unsustainable system.

And only 9% of the world's plastics are recycled.

Today, the student debt crisis reached $1,638,070,074,455

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

3,800%.

That's how much the cost of four-year public college has increased since 1964.

In that time, how many bright young people gave up the chance at a college education because they couldn't afford it?

We will make public colleges and universities tuition-free.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

I literally wrote a book called "The End of Nature" and I still can't really wrap my head around yesterday's extinction report

One species - our species - is threatening all other life on Earth.

1 million species are at risk of imminent extinction.

I can’t think of a single thing more worthy of every ounce of humanity’s attention. This is the very future of life on Earth. https://t.co/CZM2SlZHtS

New #Banksy appeared at Marble Arch site of #ExtinctionRebellion last night: "From this moment despair ends and tactics begin. Despair is the infantile disorder of the revolutionaries of everyday life." Quote from Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life, 1967

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The Boomer generation needed just 306 hours of minimum wage work to pay for four years of public college.

Millennials need 4,459.

The economy today is rigged against working people and young people. That is what we are going to change.

"The worst feature of contemporary university life, however, is the unstated, but real, requirement of ideological conformity."

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

Universities want people to close their minds and toe the line – radical reform is needed, says Lincoln Allison

[Kurdistan Solidarity Campaign @KurdsCampaign]

"But for now, we need an urgent response to the risk faced by Kurds in Rojava. The situation is growing more dire by the day – and it is quite possible that Nato will soon conduct one of the worst genocidal massacres of the 21st century."
