I signed this a while ago and you should too. The only ppl who care abt Charlie Kirk are yt supremacists, but more importantly, if we allow these sorts of RW tactics to take hold in terms of academic freedom, there will be no going back.

We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.

Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

Textile workers facing off against soldiers.

In 1912, a group of Polish and Franco-Belgian women weavers abruptly marched out of one of the mills in response to the mill owner trying to cut wages. This brave move of defiance inspired other workers in the area who were sick of being exploited and soon the strike spread to some 20,000 workers.

A drawing of coal miners wearing red bandanas.

In this moment, coal miners turned their red bandanas into a symbol of solidarity β€”Β both to distinguish themselves from the enemy and to show that, across racial lines, coal miners were united along class interests

For this reason, they were known as the "Redneck Army."

I guess that's the point. Terrorize so brazenly that everyone is afraid. This woman. Her terror was real. Her desperation. Her sorrow. She was being ripped from her family. Forced away. And we all stood there. I did nothing but film it and shout. And shake and cry.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

Seeing JD Vance’s racism trend & just want to remind Usha that even though she’s already done enormous damage, she can get out any day she wants. Abandon this loser, Akka. You can be deprogrammed & save your kids from a truly atrocious fate.

Nonzero possibility that JD Vance turned into a Nazi because he's mad that his wife's relations speak Telugu around him and he can't understand them.

I would love for white people to stop acting shocked JD Vance can be as racist as he is with a South Asian wife

Any mixed person can tell you it’s very common for mixed kids to have a racist white parent

And any nonwhite person can tell you interracial dating doesn’t mean you can’t be racist
