I’ve been thinking about what I call “credit-hour imperialism” as a tool of STEM dominance. A student explained to me today that ~everybody knows~ organic chem will take 60% of your time while counting for 1/4 of your courseload. What time/attention is left for the rest of us?

Why are thousands of workers across America on strike right now? I guess it’s a mystery. In other news, CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978, while typical worker pay grew by just 18%.

Perfect example of what I mean when I say capitalism is an insecurity machine.
Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

Huge huge win, in Montana of all places, as a judge rules kids have a right to a safe climate. This state has more coal than any state in the country, and has never denied a fossil fuel permit--but change is coming! https://t.co/X433VOyYwN

“This is a monumental decision," said a lawyer for the young plaintiffs, and could influence similar cases in other states.

The Supreme Court is about to issue a life-altering decision on student debt relief without even examining the basic facts. So @EleniSchirmer & @louise_seamster stepped up went through thousands of pages of documents. The case is built on a lie. https://t.co/FaMm0BQ5F9

When you have never read anything from the Global South, you can make sweeping claims that the left is no longer producing intellectuals. The geopolitics & coloniality of knowledge convinces people to believe intellectuals only reside in one region, the Global North.
Really interesting conversation with a friend that the left might not be producing intellectuals like it historically has tended to? Two recent ones that come to mind, David Graeber & Mark Fisher, are no longer with us. (1/3)

All 5 New College professors going up for tenure were denied today, despite approval from the college's faculty and previous administration. Every academic should be paying attention to what's happening there, now. Florida is very likely your future.

This is an important graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. It's not about economics. It's about power.
