Palestinians may be banned from flying their flag under an apartheid government, but we can still proudly do it at my office. I’m proud to be a Palestinian American and I want the Palestinian people to know that not all Americans support apartheid. No one can erase our existence.

Casualisation of the workforce also narrows the areas academics can concentrate on, and hence lowers the overall standard of work they are able to do. Long range, in depth research is not possible on a short term contract and we are all the poorer for that.

You are absolutely correct. The casualisation of the university labour market means that at least half of academics don’t enjoy academic freedom.

Sahar Aziz is so right about the Hamline controversy:
"Speaking past each other, these two camps miss the real problem here: the commercialisation of higher education to the detriment of students and faculty alike"

The same Republicans railing against abortion in the name of being "pro-life" oppose:
—A living wage
—Climate action
—Gun safety
—Mask mandates
—Universal health care
—Home-care for the elderly
—Food stamps
—Ending the death penalty
The GOP is not pro-life.

I will be re-introducing my bill to extend Social Security's solvency for the next 75 years & expand benefits by $2,400 a year. How? By scrapping the cap. Today, a billionaire pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160,000 a year. Let's end that absurdity.
