Inbox: The 5,000 strong faculty of Penn State, including faculty members across all departments, full-time and part-time, and at the main and satellite campuses, have unionized with SEIU Local 668. The union says its the largest public sector win in 50 years.

We talk environmental justice screening tools & ways to intentionally prioritize community voices & needs. Gov agencies are increasingly deploying EJSTs, but often with exclusively quantitative data and without affected communities themselves. That’s where we hope to intervene.

That is very much not how these people acted when they evicted us from college campuses and came after our jobs.
13th Congressional District Democratic Party Chair Jonathan Kinloch speaking on behalf of UofM regent Jordan Acker, who pushed for pro-Palestine campus protestors to be charged, is booed. Kinloch says Democrats must not have learned “the enemy is not in this room.”

Jordan Acker is telling the media this morning at the convention his Slack messages are FAKE. I will be back in Detroit tomorrow and I will be meeting with the media with my computer to demonstrate that these are very, very real. So, the Democrats are going to nominate Acker today for Regent and it will come out in the next couple of days that not only did he send these inappropriate messages but that he is lying to the media to their faces.

This is the only appropriate reaction to a regent who makes lewd sex comments about women in a chat and discloses their PHI with a photo of them.

Dana Nessel talks abt “unity” and taking on Trump without mentioning that she partnered w the Trump FBI to batter ram pro-Palestinian students’ doors in the name of silencing criticism of Israel. The Palestine Exception in action
Replying to @dananessel
The list goes on and on of the ways Trump and his cronies are deliberately trying to divide us so that we cannot stand together to effectively fight back against the destruction of everything we hold sacred in our love for America. United we stand, divided we fall.

Jordan Acker used to post in the DSR Slack. He said some disgusting things about a Mallory McMorrow advisor. He inexplicably outed a female U of M student. I have EVERY receipt. Acker had an attorney tell the Guardian today that he was never on Slack. Here is the article. And if Acker tries to deny this is him, I will sit down with any news agency that requests it and provide access to my devices and prove without a shadow of a doubt that these missives were written by the current U of M regent. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

"The undercover investigators have cursed at students, threatened them and in one case drove a car at a student who had to jump out of the way, according to student accounts and video footage shared with the Guardian."
Disgusting. University of Michigan pays around $800,000 to a private security firm to surveil pro-Palestinian students. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

Free speech activists were effusive in their praise for Michigan when they announced “institutional neutrality.” Now when we see what they mean by neutrality these same activists are dead quiet
