At a May Day celebration for union workers in São Paulo today, President Lula announced that he has sanctioned a law exempting workers making up to 2× the minimum wage (R$2824) from paying income tax, representing an increase of 7% over the previous cut off point.

Two days later, and the man is tartly speech-policing the word 'intifada' ('uprising') while armed legions ruthlessly repress young people on campuses across the country for exercising their First Amendment rights.

The United States has invaded the United States to bring freedom and democracy to the United States.

Tear gas, armed force, arrests. Just over a year ago, I was in the Occupied West Bank. Now as a legal observer I’m seeing the same in NYC. Yet still so much silence from senior colleagues esp tenured faculty with job security - as well as the critical tech community? Shame!
