HELP NEEDED - a family friend was recently detained by ICE while working a contracting job in upstate NY. His family set up a GoFundMe to support paying their lawyer and legal fees (which are STEEP). If you can, please donate what you can, and share with your networks. Thank you for reading ❤️🙏🏽

Thank goodness because it should be a low bar that no real estate company puts an 87 year old pensioner out on the fucking street.

There is a huge movement growing across the Spanish State that has come to include an encampment in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol (like the 15M of 2011) in protest against the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen and the capitalist housing crisis. There are calls for encampments across the country.

I learned so much about the possibilities and limits of radical education projects from interviewing @mark-bray.bsky.social for this episode of @anothereducation.bsky.social.

Another Education Is Possible@anothereducation.bsky.social

In our latest episode, @mark-bray.bsky.social joins the podcast to discuss Spanish anarchist and educator Francisco Ferrer, the Modern School that Ferrer started in Barcelona in the early 1900s, and the way Ferrer's work continues to resonate (or doesn't) with current radical education projects.

Thread 🤦‍♂️ about the chaos of last fall that I didn’t see…

I work with Mark at Rutgers history, and I saw the madness unfold as the right wing threatened him and his family. It was insane watching our professors and their family have to flee the country while Rutgers leadership dragged their feet. Of course, every History student I spoke to supported Mark.

Bought myself one of these and so should you! #NoPasarán

Love a good prof slam: “It’s bewildering. It seemed weird and laughable,” Davis said of the indictment. “It felt like the length of the indictment was a cover for how thin it actually was. I’m a professor. I’ve seen people pad out papers when they’ve got nothing to say.”

It's right to be outraged. Just as it's right to be outraged when ICE guns someone down. But I also want us to remember all of the people dying due to deplorable conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, bc they are also being murdered by the state.
