What better way to celebrate our fake May Day, Labor Day, than to announce that my book "Fake Work" will be coming out next year with @haymarketbooks; the book recounts my time working as a management consultant on a corporate Y2K project.

All praise to Prof. @DrSamiSchalk, who protected her students w her body. They ripped off her dress and hurt her so badly that she is now at the hospital. Dr. Schalk literally wrote the book on Black Disability Politics. Talk about putting your body on the line for your politics!

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

Jose Andres, who’s managing to ship aid to Gaza 2 months before the Pentagon can build its pier to do the same, calls on Biden to “call off the arrival of the US Navy” and instead pressure Israel to simply open the land crossings.
I respect you @POTUS and think highly of you…but the “better tomorrow” you are talking about starts by demanding @netanyahu to stop killing children, targeting humanitarian volunteers and press! To open more routes by road into Gaza to feed everyone. To call for a cease fire, with hostages released on both sides! You should call off the arrival of the US Navy. It doesn’t make sense…the effort required to build docks and bring aid by boat vs pushing to allow in the thousands of trucks full of aid waiting at checkpoints! Military intervention even for humanitarian purposes, is not the answer nor welcomed by the people of Gaza…or myself. If anything Arab countries should be the ones! This can be done and handled by @WFP @RedCrescent @UN @UAEAid @anera @wckitchen @MSF @ICRC and others. This Humanitarian catastrophe can be stopped today…make the call now! End this suffering…now! Specially now in Ramadan…#FeedTheNorth
