The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.

University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.

NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

NYC has always been a place where queer and trans people live and thrive. We won’t let the fascist Trump administration erase us.

We call on city and state legislators to ensure free, public gender affirming care is fully funded in the upcoming budgets. Link in bio to write a letter to your reps.

Remember, ICE only goes after "the worst of the worst" -- murderers, rapists, drug traffickers and, apparently, Ivy League students cramming for a Genetics exam.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

A line graph with three points of information. At left, the word "Writing." In the center: "I haven't written in too many days, it's over, it's so over, I'm never finishing this and I'll never write again." To the right of that: "Writing again" with a happy face

They hate trans people they always have and they're pissed off about the brief moment in time where they had to pretend they weren't all calling us all slurs in groupchats. Once you understand that they just hate us and have from the beginning everything makes sense

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
