This is terrifying. Students as well as faculty should be outraged. Mass walkouts, teach-ins, what are options if any?

Political commissars overseeing course details to eliminate political wrongthink, and deputizing students into a snitch network, has a distinct whiff of the Cultural Revolution*.

*Though that involved mass murder, hence only a "whiff"

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

And there have been many socialist mayors, elected on a socialist ticket, Milwaukee being one among many.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

The U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits a third presidential term. We should be more concerned that this is openly being debated right now.

Major flight delays on AA on east coast/Charlotte. I got a voucher for a super sketchy hotel. AA would not give a voucher to the dude in line next to me because his flight was delayed due to lack of air traffic controllers, mine was due to weather. WTF AA

(next to images of Adelita Grijalva and House Democrats demanding that Grijalva is sworn in) SWEAR IN GRIJALVA NOW!

It’s been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was elected to the House, but Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in β€” because Grijalva would be the decisive 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Take action with our social toolkit: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/adel...

After this term, there should be a Truth Commission set up with participation from international organizations to investigate human rights abuses being carried out by the current administration, along with recommendations for prosecution. Is this practical or possible?

This meets Lemkin’s definition of genocide to a fucking T. This is not up for debate.

I don’t know if it was an online campaign at the time, surprising since most people (myself included) didn’t have internet in 1999

I got handed the VHS copy of that β€˜footage’ by a friend before it was released in theatresβ€”apparently they circulated tapes beforehand to generate a buzz. I was freaked out by it, but if I recall the VHS copy had credits so I was skeptical…

So many people standing there filming, including the person taking this video, when we need to rally everyone to come help. There were only two agents there, way more bystanders. Be an upstander not a bystander. I understand it’s scary, they want us to be afraid to act. We can’t let them win.

Please DO SOMETHING!! What if people’s constitutional rights are violated? No due process. No right to legal counsel. Unnecessary use of force. What are the steps we can take in these situations? Please provide some guidance on how you plan to protect the people of your state!

The guy who ordered the hit on Jamal Khashoggi is the one paying for this comedy festival in Riyadh, so everlasting shame on any comic who takes this blood money. Remember MBS means "Murder wth Bone Saw."
