"after taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find.
The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist."

The students at my school did this. They negotiated for it, they got it, and they're disbanding their encampment now that they're done. Not one arrest. No police. The first campus in the UC system to do it.

I read earlier some comment about how both Hamas and student protesters need to learn there are “consequences to their actions” and here I am wondering what the consequence of an apartheid government is, ah well I’m sure it’s not important.

Law enforcement agencies have been planting undercover officers within leftist organizations since at least the early 20th century, worldwide, with a key aim to agitate the groups towards unlawful conduct. NYC Mayor’s claims of “outside agitators” should be laughed at. It’s deeply unserious.

This NYPD bike chain thing is so fucking stupid, and exactly the kind of shit Israel does when they hold up a planted Hitler coloring book in a Palestinian child's bedroom they just bulldozed.

You know they were turning over every fucking piece of paper in that place and the fact that the best the NYPD currently have to show for it is that someone had a bike chain recommended to them by the school is pretty damn telling

A judge fining Trump $9,000 for willful violations of a gag order is an incredibly funny amount that I’m sure will keep Trump in line should the value of the dollar suddenly skyrocket

One of the things that occurs to me after singing that Hymnathon today is how cruel it is that the genocidal, fascist nation-state of Israel gets to call itself that, in contrast to the Israel that appears in over two thousand years of oral and written history.

patriot front is marching unopposed in West Virginia right now no police in sight. People really need to be asking why neo-Nazis are allowed to march with impunity while peaceful students protesting against genocide are being beaten, mercilessly and treated like a invading army.

the Kent State massacre was metabolized as a tragedy in history books, but it was cheered by reactionaries at the time. the fantasy of delivering violence to naive young liberals is foundational to the modern right. they never learned the lesson of Kent State because they never stopped supporting it

Exactly, these ghouls spent years defending racists and transphobes by saying that it had nothing to do with the content of their speech, they simply had a content-neutral dedication to free expression. They were lying! They agreed with the far-right views and were too chickenshit to say so.

I think there are many reasons for this, not least of which is that many of us have reached our tipping point in knowing that Israel is intentionally pursuing genocide by all available means. What’s happening on campuses is something new and horrific in its own right.

The most common penalty issued by universities against students who have sexually assaulted another student is a one-semester suspension. The second most common penalty is requiring the student to write a reflection paper. Those penalties are only enforced after extensive due process.

10/13: I am telling you we are going to regret this. Our support for this... We might even tell ourselves somewhere down the line that we never did in the first place. That we in fact opposed it. That we knew right from wrong when it was happening.
