A University of Buffalo graduate was chased across the stage by police at Sunday's commencement ceremony for carrying a prohibited item while he tried to collect his diploma: a baby.

I've been to graduations where babies/children came with their parents and it's adorable. You know they only did this because he wasn't a white Christian Dominionist. Every new day they shed more and more of their humanity. Higher ed condoning this makes them complicit in their own dismantling.

there's only one solution to Nazis and they will not stop until they are solved

I thought the NBC post was from The Onion for Pete’s sake!

You can thank White America for this.

The Republican/MAGA party wouldn't exist without them.

The Powers and principalities of Mammon and Satan want us to continue to suffer.

class of people the law protects but does not bind (corporations), class of people the law binds but does not protect (people)

What did they say about conservatives believing in the law, but only if they are immune to it?

I would truly enjoy a break from being either sick with rage or emptied out by devastation.

I have a shirt that says 'no one is free when others are oppressed' - Hookieduke made it - and I don't see how anyone could have further questions. The calculus to get you there is unbelievably easy. -_-

fun to watch this stuff happening while big VC funded ventures are arguing they should get to steal all art ever created so they can turn a profit

That's called fascism

We really just gotta call it a day in this whole nation state business.

America is an idea, we tried it, it didn’t work

The goal is not so much to have cops constantly beating up people. That's a tad unsavory even to the most docile subjects.
The point is to get people to self-censor. And as you can see from law firms to regular Joes deleting apps from their phones before crossing the border, it's working.

I guarantee you the administration has those cops there authorized to bum rush any student in case they whipped out a Palestinian flag - and whenever you are authorizing cops to physically engage with people you are accepting the possibility that the situation will escalate to death

I think a lot about how teenagers today are banned from both the movie theater and mall I hung out in as a teen, just an insane drive to immediately punish and destroy anything that might momentarily disturb the flow of capital

archroadkill.bsky.social•10 days ago

Gotta condition them while they are young and pliable. Every authoritarian state with even middling ambitions makes sure to teach young people how to self-censor.

Beyond belief.

I have no understanding of what part the police play in this? Why were they there at a private function? Are law enforcement "for hire" bouncers? What law were they enforcing when they apprehended him? The US seems to be becoming a police state.

antagonic.bsky.social•13 days ago

well, you see, we've had to militarize every college campus and large event space, for the low threat of responding to a mass shooter or the much more likely threat of a student making a mild, nonviolent protest statement

Jfc. I’m sure it had nothing to do with his being Lebanese. Also, at the end of the video they read off a cutesy statement from UB about the baby getting a degree in twenty years or whatever. No, go fuck yourselves.
