The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.
People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.
These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.
Want to help striking Academic Workers picketing on the UC Davis campus as they call on UC to bargain fairly? Please consider giving to the campus picket kitchen! A group of graduate students are running it to keep picketers fed, watered, and energized as they do their thing from 8am-4pm.
Any amount helps. This is a particularly good avenue for tenured/tenure-stream faculty who want to make their support felt (whether you're at the UC or not)!
