Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. πŸ’™πŸ’› Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ... TikTok video by HBCU Student Action Alliance

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said β€œwe went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

I would like university chancellors, including my own, to stop granting the premise, as if we are abused spouses or children, that we are to blame for the fascist assault on our institutions & academic freedom. <Nothing> we’ve done justifies or even explains that & we need to stop pretending it does

I can’t find the extended video so I wanna talk about the kid who got punched.

What he documented was his own genesis a future James O’Keefe & especially guys like Charlie Kirk or Milo.

These people preach and support violence but they operate within what I call The Civility Technicality.

A redditor called the office of Ogles to press him on his statement that Bad Bunny's halftime show was "gay porn" [spoiler: it was not]. The redditor also asked the staffer if Andy Ogles doesn't like big booty Latinas. "The staffer said he does not."

Someone should have told this person to NOT squirt lighter fluid on an already burning fire. There is a risk of the fire traveling back up into the bottle with the air when you stop squeezing. It can explode the bottle in your hand.

Robert F Kennedy Jr admits he used to 'snort cocaine off toilet seats' The US health secretary made the confession to podcaster Theo Von during an episode of his show, This Past Weekend, as he opened up about his past drug use.

"I'm not scared of a germ... I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."
This is a direct quote from the secretary of Health and Human Services. I lack words to describe how unhinged it is to have this person dictating healthcare policy for 350 million people.

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

Phenomenal students.
Get these colleagues out, and make room for new thinkers who don't engage with people like Epstein.
