300 million workers (1 out of every 4 people) shut down India last week in the largest strike in history.
Virtually completely blacked out by the western media, in corporate solidarity, because this is the future the bosses all fear the most.
The strike was called jointly by labor unions and farmers groups to demand the withdrawal of the four new labor codes and the recently signed trade deals with the US and the EU. Workers and farmers were joined by students, women’s organizations, and other civil society groups who came out in solidarity.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember the Orangeburg Massacre, which occurred on February 8, 1968 in South Carolina, when highway patrolmen opened fire on black student protesters from South Carolina State, who were trying to integrate a bowling alley. They killed 3 African American students and wounded 33. These were the first student demonstrators killed by the police in the 1960s. 2 days prior, students held a sit-in at the bowling alley. When the police arrested them, hundreds of students arrived from Claflin College and South Carolina State to protest the arrests. As tensions grew, the governor called out the National Guard and Highway Patrol to “keep the order.” 9 cops were charged with deprivation of rights under color of law, but all were acquitted. But one of the student protestors, Cleveland Sellers, was convicted of several riot charges. In 1960, students and others marched through Orangeberg to protest segregation. Police and firefighters attacked them. They arrested 400 and imprisoned them in outdoors in a cattle stockade.

My student walked into my office and stared at the open copies of Russell & Norvig and Kleinberg & Tardos on my desk, with a look of shock and horror on their face, and then went: Do you have time to read all of that‽
I mean... given the notes scribbled in the margins and the bookmarks sticking out of my books, I can hardly deny that I've read at least parts of them in quite some detail. If I admit that, however, my students are no longer going to buy the "sorry I don't have time for an extra meeting" line...
Anybody have a good comeback for me for the next time this happens? This time I just went with "er... that's kind of the idea of studying... that you read your textbooks..." 🤦♀️

It’s been over a decade since Alaska significantly increased its funding for public education.
Two school districts are now suing the state for what they say is a long-running failure to give students a “sound basic education.”
