I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

Today, NYT celebrates their successes from the past year, but we are witnessing a major failure of leadership: @nytimes.com mgmt is denying one of our members, Rich Quan, permission to continue working remote, even as a certified caregiver for his 96-year-old father, who suffers from Alzheimer's.
Arbitrary and capricious is a beautiful name for a girl ❤️❤️❤️
A New York judge has tossed out Columbia University's unprecedentedly harsh discipline against students accused of occupying Hamilton Hall during the 2024 Gaza protests, calling it arbitrary and capricious: hellgatenyc.com/columbia-exp...
@swcolumbia.bsky.social has just given Columbia our contract proposal on AI- our main demands are that student workers cannot be replaced by AI tools, nor can we be forced to use them in teaching or research (or retaliated against for refusing). Looking forward to their response on Friday 😇

The case for sabotage
Creative tactics for a tech worker strike

This thread is incredible.
We are launching a new series at Collective Action in Tech (on our new substack!) on new/creative tactics for organizing and taking collective action in the tech industry. We would love to publish your ideas and experiences! Please submit!
