[UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 @umnglu]

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Graduate workers at the University of Minnesota are signing cards in support of unionizing because we know we are stronger together–and that the U works because WE do! Learn more at https://t.co/96X0sG5aMI

One of the reasons free school lunch shouldn’t be means tested is that kids are absolutely ruthless little classists who torture other kids who are visibly on any type of subsidy. No reason to introduce another layer of insecurity to already disenfranchised kids

Love to not open this website for months on end and then crawl up and retweet a whole morning's worth of the most random stuff only to disappear into the shadows once again.
