The Harvard Graduate Student Union (UAW Local 5118) is on STRIKE! As they fight for a new contract, the Harvard Academic Workers are fighting for their FIRST contract. It's time Harvard comes to a fair deal with ALL its workers who are in this one fight together. @UAWRegion9A

harvard strike doesn't seem complicated
1. i think it's widely known and mundane to observe that across the country (and maybe internationally), phd stipends have not tracked w/inflation. cost of living has climbed, but stipends haven't moved commensurately even just tracking 5y
I didn't understand the "my country New England" posting in fall until I lived in New England for the fall and now I Get It

New in @playbookdc: A person familiar with Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s thinking about running for majority leader told Playbook he’s “received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode. The door is not shut.”

In Maryland, Wes Moore had a pretty huge underperformance compared to down ballot races trailing the AG and Comptroller by around 70,000 and 81,000 votes.
Even in the Blue Tsunami year of 2026, Wes Moore currently has fewer votes than Chris Van Hollen in 2022.

.@iamwesmoore argues that Maryland should be considered a Southern state 🦀
“Remember this: the bloodiest battles of the Civil War were not fought in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, the bloodiest battles of the Civil War were fought in Maryland.”

There’s already a bill—the Bivens Act—tailor-made to create a constitutional cause of action against federal officials and nothing more (or less).
It adds 5 words to Section 1983.
Congress should pass it.
wondering if anyone else has noticed the Wes Moore underperformance (I have no editorial here but it does seem notable to have 4% third party voting here vs 0.1% write-ins for AG and Comptroller)

Call your senator and tell them to support Chris Van Hollen for senate majority leader
Van Hollen tells me Democrats should not commit to voting for Schumer or anyone else for leader without getting commitments for a bold agenda bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
