Basically a teenager got disappeared and is still like "yeah it was bad but nothing as bad as happens to Palestinians on a daily basis." These kids are heroes.
Northeastern student Kyler Shinkle-Stolar was arrested by Boston Police, days before a sweep of a pro-Palestine encampment resulting in some 100 additional arrests. His trespassing charges were thrown out during arraignment today and he was ordered 20 hours of community service.

I’m a union organizer, Assemblymember, and democratic socialist running for Congress in NY-07. I came to politics through low-wage jobs and the labor movement. That’s the perspective I’ll bring to Washington to take on oligarchy, fascism, and war—and win for working people.

Worse is that colleges and universities get tons of money from their students but are in no way democratic institutions in any manner what so ever. The actual stakeholders are left completely out of any decisions.
It's kind of nuts that college students can vote in local elections instead of having to go back home and vote there. It's pure legal fiction (if that!) for them to be counted as residents.

What a remarkable day for New York City! Our new @NYCMayor arrived at his inauguration event in a yellow taxi driven by NYTWA member and debt relief fighter @RichardChow929. Richard’s brother Kenny died by suicide because of devastating debt caused by the medallion crisis.

Eric Adams spent his final hours as Mayor vetoing protections for workers, including Intro 276 - the strongest protection in the nation against unfair firings by Uber and Lyft. Without these protections, drivers are given no notice, independent appeal, or just cause reasoning
