The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Preach…also “mass surveillance is not ok, but targeted is fine” is dog whistling to the security establishment. There is a serious drift in what we have come to think is a good political act.

You know, post-snowden privacy advocates said “no to mass surveillance, but targeted is ok” 😉Some of us said: you are throwing people of color, Muslims and those impacted by war on terror under the bus. And, here we are!

I mean, in what sense will you be able to say the college “survived”?

soon, Albright will be the exemplar for other colleges seeking to reinvent themselves. The plan includes knocking down many of the fundamental pillars of a liberal arts education: replacing philosophy with cybersecurity and tenured faculty with "instructors." It's an audacious blueprint, one that could make Albright something of a unicorn in an age of closures and consolidations. Or it could fail, leaving one more casualty of the decline of higher education.

The @aaup.org beat Marco Rubio in court, with a Reagan-appointed judge ruling that ideological deportations obviously violate the first amendment. These cases cost money. And we need millions of people moving together to make them stick. If you're faculty in the US, join AAUP and join the fight.
