Anyone who thinks this attack on higher ed is going to stop with the humanities or courses on race and gender has another thing coming - Florida is already targeting classes on “Labor and Globalization” and “Introduction to East Asia” for removal from the curriculum

We need your support! Our task is more important than ever. As we expand our operations with Emergency Response Teams, training, and gaining members with higher levels of training, we need more and more expensive medical supplies. Please consider donating to our Open Collective. Link in Linktree.

With how the US election just went, those of you who follow us here on Bluesky might appreciate what we had to say on the role revolutionary unions have to play in antifascist struggle: angryeducationworkers.substack.com/p/towards-a-... #EduSky #anarchism
Towards a Revolutionary Union Movement, Part 9: Antifascist
Fascism represents an all out war against the proletariat. Revolutionary unionists must unite with antifascist struggles of all types if we hope to outlast the repression we will inevitably face.

Urgent Call to Action: Support the Palestine Solidarity Encampments!
There has been an upsurge in student organizing to stop the genocide in Palestine. They are facing severe repression, and need our solidarity!
