I really believe that all along universities knew trespassing charges against their own students who live/study/work on campus were not going to stick. They just used a charge they knew couldn’t stick to clear them out…

First, the CCP controlled women's bodies to keep them from having babies. Now, it tries to browbeat them into having more babies. And all along, women's rights to divorce and against domestic abuse have been held hostage to the overriding priority of social stability (ie keeping angry men docile).

Poverty and perceived precarity, at their most basic level, ultimately serve to deprive folks from having time to be political subjects and having the resources to risk political actions. It’s by design. A world without extreme haves and have nots is a world that actually has to do democracy.
