Along with dear friends Lily Lynch and Nic Johnson I was asked to comment on Trump's first hundred days. In a nutshell: it's all too early to tell, but while he might bury American hegemony, globalism will outlive him. jacobin.com/2025/04/trum...

Are we preventing abuse or just certifying it? 👀 Audits and certifications often hide, not stop, corporate abuse. Companies use them as smokescreens to continue business as usual. 🚩 Concerningly, the EU & others are embedding these flawed systems into law. Read more! www.somo.nl/the-illusion...

When Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵

A screenshot of a social media post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) dated March 4, 2025, at 4:30 AM. The post states:

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
