"This shameful attack on the St. John's faculty union betrays the university's history and most deeply-held Catholic values. It's outrageous that religious leaders are joining in the assaults on higher education that are happening nationwide."
— Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

I'm sort of tickled that at 2:30 pm the day after not watching the Superbowl I can tell you a lot about the halftime show but I don't know who won the game.
#OnThisDay 1921: Lunar New Year in Chinatown was more subdued than usual due to Prohibition–except for an altercation in which local residents attacked a film shoot. The actors were reportedly "Japanese and Korean"–playing Chinese criminals kidnapping a white woman.

Can't wait to hear White House Barbie tell us that Omar attacked the dude first.
Jan.24, 1920. On Ellis Island, 6 federal detainees died of unsanitary conditions before their deportation hearings -- victims of the Palmer Raids of Jan.2, date of the greatest number of political arrests in US history (so far).

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating

NYC erected a Bolivar statue on a hillock near W. 83rd in 1893. A new monument went up in 1921 (pictured). President Harding spoke about peace between the US and S.American countries. #venezuela @sunypress.bsky.social @nychistoryhq.bsky.social @centralparknyc.bsky.social #libraryofcongress #NY1920s
My favorite part of the inauguration was when Jewish Santa Claus and those kids did the gay anthem. #mandypatinkin #zohranmamdani
New Yorkers, see you tonight.
#bariweiss went about quashing the story in such a stupid and ham-fisted way that more people are going to know about the deportations to #CECOT prison than if #60Minutes had just run it. @bariweiss.skystack.xyz
This is how NYC public schools work.
If I were #lornemichaels I would have just snuck this in between two other #SaturdayNightLive sketches. The audience would have howled. youtu.be/Z7YouaaKGNg?... @thatweekinsnl.bsky.social @snlnerds.bsky.social @snlwriter.bsky.social
I can't decide whether I am more honored, thrilled, or floored by this news. Tie for all three. Thank you @rcolesworthy.bsky.social and @sunypress.bsky.social.
I am thrilled to be sharing the cover to my "Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York," forthcoming from SUNY Press, May 2026. @sunypress.bsky.social The cover uses a detail from Lily Furedi's WPA painting "Subway."
@aaup-penn.bsky.social Vice President Lorena Grundy took to the streets alongside @psc-cuny.org @debtcollective.bsky.social and more to denounce Trump ally and billionaire Marc Rowan's assault on academic freedom.
That's the 1946 Random House, or one of its reprints. It's fine. Happens to be my favorite Ulysses cover, with the design by E MacKnight Kauffer, who also designed the logo to the James Joyce Society @joycesociety.bsky.social
Today, @aaup.org @aaup-penn.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org outside Apollo Global Management's Midtown office to protest Marc Rowan's "Compact for Higher Education". PSC-CUNY President James Davis explains why this assault on higher ed undermines academic freedoms and our democracy itself.
There is no one perfect edition. We are recommending that if people are going to buy a new one, they buy the one that most other participants will probably have, which is the Gabler edition.
The officer's testimony does not pass mustard.
I have never seen a political campaign that has created as much joy as that of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Contrast that with the bitterness, sourness, and resentment of that of his opponent @andrewcuomo.bsky.social. In itself, this is not a reason to vote for ZM. But I believe it speaks volumes.
Join us in protesting the billionaire who is behind Trump's attack on higher ed. #handsoffhighered

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.
Congrats, and wow! This is great research and analysis.
Re-posting this to celebrate the end of the first weekend of early voting. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mondoweiss.net "Zohran Mamdani, and a 100-year-old history of anti-Zionism in New York City" mondoweiss.net/2025/09/zohr...
a terrifying sight, a bus where dogs have taken over, all dogs riding the bus, no humans in sight, just good boys sitting on the bus waiting for a head pat, horrifying
Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.
