The students are now singing in a huddle facing down the entire might of the NYPD. Oh my heart.

Academia allying itself with the fascists yet again

There was never an issue with “woke leftism” at universities. It’s the far right that’s been enabled, encouraged, and left to run wild while bipoc leftists and their allies get targeted and punished

My starting salary as an editor at VICE was $40K in NYC lol

(It only got better eventually because we UNIONIZED)

I’m editing a very long Fenriz interview (!) for the next Salvo, and it is delightful but man, does that dude have some wild ideas about punctuation (salvo.ghost.io)

Gonna say it again, Gov - you used Alabama taxpayers’ money to have state troopers escort out of state scabs to break the strike of YOUR constituents - hardworking #WarriorMet United Mine Workers who were fighting for the right to see their families more than a few days a year. #Values

UPDATE: Workers are still sitting in, 9 hours and counting.

Excited to have contributed a foreword to David Van Deusen’s new PM Press book, ‘Insurgent Labor: The Vermont AFL-CIO 2017-2023’! Vermont AFL-CIO #UnionYes is an excellent example of what can happen when progressive, militant unionists take control of their state fed kickstarter.com/projects/wrkcl…

attention goths, new graveyard union just dropped ⚰️

My partner is a musclebound antifascist skinhead who orders Shirley Temples all the time. Somehow no one’s ever said boo about it to him
