"Harvard’s non-tenure-track faculty and researchers will walk out of classrooms and labs Tuesday for the first time, after a final bargaining session Monday ended without a contract agreement with the University."

Any academic who unironically cites "free tuition" as part of a graduate student's compensation package should be instantly disqualified from weighing in on labor issues
A $51,000 annual stipend, combined with free tuition and health insurance, produces a total annual compensation package exceeding $100,000. In exchange, students work approximately 20 hours per week for say four 14-week semesters over five years. This amounts to just 1,120 hours of work over the entire five-year period, yielding an effective hourly compensation of more than $450 -- over 18 times the median hourly wage of an American worker. Even if you write off the free tuition, this wage is around 9x that of the median US worker.
Not to mention that you walk away with a Harvard PhD when all is said and done. Good work if you can get it.

“End the war” is meaningless as policy. Literally everyone says they want the war to end—what matters is on what terms. Will anti-war Senate Democrats commit to lifting sanctions on Iran and permanently withdrawing from the Gulf? They should be asked these questions directly

For tonight to mean anything, the immediate demand/priority for the new Democratic congress must be immediately ending all funding for the catastrophic war with Iran and all military and diplomatic support for Israel.

We live in an empire that has the luxury to have two political parties pretending to have drastic political economic differences, while in reality, they both support capitalism, imperialism, settler colonialism, war, dispossession, state-sanctioned death, and destruction.
