My heart is full. Our community showed up. The fight's not over but it's easier knowing how many people are outraged and want justice for an international grad worker. You can help by signing the petition: act.seiu.org/a/tufts-comm...

In an hour! The rain has stopped! Let's gooooooooo

Somerville PD: We hear you're holding a rally tomorrow. Me: Yes. Somerville PD: We think there will be a thousand people there. Better not disappoint the police. 😉 See you tomorrow (Thursday) at 6.

We've hit 265 signatures in a week on this petition in support of an international grad worker facing retaliation at Tufts for protected union activity. We want to hit 500 by this time next week. Can you help by signing? All allies/people with basic decency welcome.

First thoughts: Hmm, this sounds like an ad for AI, but let's reserve judgment. Article: "The faculty that it [AI] is going to put out of a job are those that continue to resist and don’t experiment." Nope, this is an ad for AI.

Greater Boston, will I see you Thursday? Come stand with an international grad worker who will have to leave the country unless Tufts does right by her. Whether you can make it or not, sign this petition to further show your support. act.seiu.org/a/tufts-comm...

“I’m contributing so much to BU,” Thind said. “It sucks that BU doesn’t want to pay it back to me.” (but is happy to pay it to external lawyers to defend a frivolous anti-worker appeal in court)

Sometimes I miss Madison and sometimes I don't and sometimes the police kill a Black man and the people shut down Willy Street for a week to mourn and protest and I remember how strong that community is. Justice for Corey Ruiz. Abolish the police.

We're going to pack Powder House Park for not only this one Tufts international worker facing abuse and retaliation, but every grad worker overworked, exploited, and used by their advisors. It ends now. Join us: 7/30, 6 pm. More info here: act.seiu.org/a/tugwu-powd...

The demand for "COOKIES" just erupted from my mouth out of nowhere to my empty apartment, in case you were wondering how planning a major event unexpectedly with 6 days' notice after coming back from vacation was going.

In case you need a refresher on what this is about: bsky.app/profile/anna...

Remember the Tufts international grad worker whom the university withdrew from her program after she blew the whistle on her exploitative advisor? Tufts is still refusing to do the right thing. Anyone—and everyone—can sign this community petition to show solidarity with this worker.

Been busy.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many people can spend 5+ years in a PhD program learning about knowledge production and still believe that neutrality exists and apolitical research is possible.

I would pay good money to see someone follow Chris Rufo around while singing "Bella Ciao."

I love US folks. We're so stupid. Woman 1 in a Morocco jersey: Are you excited for the game today? Woman 2 in a Morocco jersey: No English. French, Arabic, Swedish. Woman 1: Okay. Woman 1: *continues asking long questions in English*

you never know with the English if they're taking the piss by thinking Appalachian food is inferior and they've elevated it or thinking Appalachian food is actually this but either way you know they'll fuck it up

Publishing academic articles is part of the job of being a professor or researcher. Having to pay some of your salary back in order to do your job is wage theft.

As usual, workers do the work while university leadership does nothing. If you haven't been following along, my former employer has decided the best response to its own financial mismanagement and vanity construction projects is to fire 600 staff. Workers went on strike on June 1 & are still going.
