Hello, from someone who’s worked in catering and university dining, that looks like a nightmare.

Also, to have the ability to feed 1,300 people you need large kitchens, big loading docks, fairly wide hallways, easy truck access, a big-ass dumpster…

Protesters have blocked the westbound side of Canal. They are chanting "ICE out of New York now!" and "Liberation, not deportation!"

While I’m glad he’s seen the light and left the party, the reality is that the exploitive and corrosive practices he’s referencing started with B. Goldwater’s presidential campaign in 1964, not with Trump.

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them

The University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire has one of the larger trans communities in the upper Midwest and it’s still a tiny % of the overall student population.

2/2 And we’re seeing amazing actions like this one all over the country that are all bottom up. No one person or group is telling anyone to do this. These actions are organic, local, acts where people are reaching out to help their neighbors and communities. These acts give me hope.

1/2 In your recent YouTube about College Republicans at least one of you was full on doomer because nothing was going to happen to the Nazis and everything is top down.

Well… People in the chat have lost job, gotten kicked out, and the NY/KS CRs currently do not exist.

On the practical front: the Uk’s labor participation rate is about 78%, so it boggles me as to where they think these β€œhome grown” workers will come from.

The Republicans bailed on anything sensible with Goldwater in β€˜64.

The Democratic slide stated with Carter and was complete by the end of Clinton. Been bouncing on the bottom ever since.
