if you’ve been fired, doxxed, or reprimanded by an employer for opposing the ongoing genocide in gaza, you’re not alone. but you don’t have to compromise to find a job. i write a newsletter called A Different World w/ jobs, gigs, & internships where you don’t have to sacrifice.

I am breaking my silence on anti-Blackness in USCPR.
USCPR’s Executive Director and Political Director have continued to perpetuate anti-Blackness and retaliate against me after unjustly forcing me out of my job. I am simply demanding accountability.

the free press is a DEI jobs program for aspiring right wing influencers with a complex about being disliked by their peers in college and should not be considered a credible news source

One of the most enduring "luxury belief" dynamics centers on Israel. The average working class voter thinks it's insane that Israel gets to dictate U.S. foreign policy and forced us into war with Iran. Yet we get lectured by the elites in media that this is somehow a great idea.

The Free Press staff is just a farm of spoiled rich kids with no real problems but obvious pathologies getting paid to do the scaring yourself meme
Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed gave his victory speech in Arabic last night. Rep. Ilhan Omar addressed her victory party in Somali.
And this morning, Iran's supreme leader posted that America's collapse "has accelerated."
What should we make of these acceptance speeches? @SulkinMaya
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Historian Steven J. Ross says Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told him the ADL is still "spying" on Americans.
Ross says he asked Greenblatt at an LA fundraiser if he could have access to the ADL's spying records and Greenblatt told him, "No, because we're still spying and still using the same techniques."
Ross says the ADL has also used "a few" agent provocateurs.
the fact that Darializa Avila Chevalier got arrested on campus for supporting Palestine during the encampment & now she'll be representing @columbia's district in congress. from @ColumbiaSJP to Congress, she is AIPAC's worst nightmare.

Israel firsters’ postmortem: “we lost because of antisemitism. We didn’t call enough people antisemitic often enough.”

The question on university campuses should now be how to get rid of all the administrators who caved to and collaborated with a grossly unpopular political agenda, including curricular changes, reversals on diversity mandates, buying into AI hype, clamping down on Gaza protests…

Sweet, beautiful poetic justice
NC A&T could determine Rep. Virginia Foxx's fate.
The last two precincts to report election results in Guilford County include the one at NC A&T's Frye Hall and one at Brown Recreation Center.
Foxx leads Chuck Hubbard by only 398 votes with those two precincts remaining. They haven't posted any results yet today. Not sure what the deal is with them.

The Democrats have won back Congress, but that alone tells us little about what will change for Palestinians.
The real test is whether they will use their power to challenge US military support for Israel, or simply oppose Trump while preserving the policies they claim to reject.

Dems must now be forced to actually make stuff like this happen. They won’t do it without organized masses of people forcing them to.
