Just very hard to think about Gloria Steinem without thinking about Shulamith Firestone and the feminisms we could have had.

Today the bill granting collective bargaining rights to Maryland's non-tenure track faculty passed out of the Senate! Unfortunately while certain groups of non-tenure track faculty are omitted, today's vote brings us closer than ever to granting all faculty the rights already enjoyed... [1/3]

This again is why Minnesota is nucleus of repression and the resistance. This largely white place - far from the "coastal elites" - has the nerve to attempt true multi-racial democracy, enacting progressive policies, having highest voting participation and quality of life indicators. How dare they.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
