Grateful for the chance to meet with drivers from across the country and learn about their efforts to organize and tackle challenges they face with gig platforms, from declining pay rates to opaque algorithms to arbitrary suspensions. Thanks to @SEIU & @32BJSEIU for convening.
.@EmoryUniversity faculty senate meeting is packed, faculty members outraged and seeking to censure @gregfenves, moving for vote of no confidence
According to colleagues, IU faculty arrested at the Palestine solidarity encampment are slapped w 1yr bans from campus. I have seen many examples of police brutality agst campus protests over the yrs- inc student bans - but I have never heard of faculty targeted this way before
Sniper on the roof of the IMU. Absolutely unhinged response to a nonviolent encampment by a murderous and paranoid police state.

“It’s not a CEO that’s gonna save us. It’s not a president that’s gonna save us. It’s not you, it’s not me— it’s us and it’s a united working class is how we’re going to win!” - UAW President Shawn Fain Illustration: Margaret Vail Palmquist #StandUpUAW
Fain fired back at the Republican governors of six southern states who had condemned the UAW’s campaign at VW. “They’re liars," he said. “These politicians are showing that they’re just puppets for corporate America, and they don’t give a damn about working-class people."
After the big win at VW, Shawn Fain says, “The workers at VW are the first domino to fall. They have shown it is possible. I expect more of the same. Workers are fed up" Fain sees "a big majority" voting in favor of the UAW at Mercedes in Alabama in May theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

It's important to give the VW workers & Shawn Fain HUGE CREDIT for the UAW's HISTORIC LANDSLIDE WIN in Tennessee It's the FIRST TIME a union has unionized a foreign-owned auto plant in the South It's a breakthrough & will no doubt inspire non-union auto workers across the South

BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
An utterly historic victory for the working class. Tennessee is shining bright tonight. We are in a new era. Congratulations to the courageous workers in Chattanooga and the entire @UAW. Absolutely heroic. Solidarity IS the strategy - across the South, and all over the country.

This landslide victory at Volkswagen is not just a win for the workers in Tennessee but a beacon of hope for the future of labor across America. Congratulations to all @UAW members! This is how we build a fairer, stronger future. #UnionStrong
BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
The freedoms to speak, assemble, & protest are fundamental to democracy & essential to our ability to build working class power in this country & around the world. UAW Region 9A will continue to stand with protesters & our membership at NYU, Columbia, the New School, & beyond.

Do not tell me that there’s no diff btwn political parties for working people. Today @POTUS’s admin expanded overtime protections, protected retirement savers from fees and banned noncompetes. Just wait-next up: Repubs will try to kill all 3 b/c that’s what corporations want.
Don’t inject bleach. And don’t vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach.
Four years ago today, Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television
Distressing to be treated like a common trespasser when, as an @nyuniversity professor, I try to get access to my campus. The campus security “captain” refused to answer any questions. “I’m not engaging in dialogue with you,” he says to a professor.
But most of these politicians, unlike Kari Lake, aren't overt (or foolish) enough to say the implied part out loud: "And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case." To state the obvious: demons can't be killed w/ Glocks. This is the shift from spirit to flesh. 8/
This politicized spiritual warfare rhetoric has engulfed the Amer right in a totalizing way since January 6th. Today you hear this language of holy armor, demons, fighting Satan, etc. on the lips of countless Republican politicians. They learned it from Christian leaders. 7/
Politicized spiritual warfare rhetoric is deadly. It layers onto our polarized, partisan, & tribal identities lines of cosmic separation. This world--our messy, diverse, plural world--splits into good & evil, angelic & demonic. Polit. opponents become demonized (literally). 6/
This is a simplistic & willfully blind claim to exonerate Christians from moral responsibility for violence. I write this as a Christian & a scholar of religious extremism: personal spiritual warfare rhetoric is mostly harmless. Politicized spiritual warfare rhetoric? 5/
As I detailed in Charismatic Revival Fury, the Capitol Insurrection was galvanized w/ a robust rhetoric of spiritual violence. icjs.org/the-violent-ta… Some people say that "spiritual warfare is just a form of prayer & pious expression; it has no connection to real violence." 4/
2nd, the most import. thing here is not the Glock comment alone, but the linkage bw spiritual warfare ("the armor of God") & the "Glock... just in case." Lake is blending together a common evangelical notion of Christians fighting demons w/ a very physical weapon reference. 3/
1st, I'm sure some of Lake's supporters will claim this was a joke. But if you read the context, she's also talking about sacrifice, "lawfare" (a new favorite term on the right), & the intensity of the 2024 election. She may have said it with a chuckle, but it's no joke. 2/
"We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case.” That is AZ Senate candidate (2x election denier) Kari Lake speaking at a rally on Sunday. Alarm bells should be klaxoning in your head right now. 1/ nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
