Every college leader should take note of why Ono got rejected by UF's Board: despite his craven and public abandonment of his previous DEI advocacy, they still thought he was too "woke." The lesson: no amount of self-abasement or eagerness to sell your community down the river, will ever be enough.

Then why was ICE there? The gaslighting by the mayor and law enforcement is astonishing.

Workers—regardless of status—deserve dignity, not raids. Safety, not militarized violence. Today, I stood with labor and community leaders to say: San Diego will not be silent. We will not be complicit. Let’s organize. Protect each other. Speak truth. Demand better.

Here's a crazy idea: instead of kicking 10 million Americans off of health insurance, Congress could just eliminate the trillions of dollars in tax breaks for the ultra wealthy & slash the bloated trillion dollar Pentagon budget. Seems like a painfully easy fix, no?

Unprecedentedly strong intervention by ICRC. “Palestinians, she says, have been stripped of human dignity. International humanitarian law is being hollowed out. What is happening in Gaza, she says, surpasses any acceptable legal, moral and humane standard” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

Pretending that you have to take health care from poor people because of fraud in the system while Elon Musk and Donald Trump are on the most cartoonish corruption spree in history is so grotesque it's almost hard to believe

“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.” I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

Trump's ICE is now kidnapping New York City high school students. This is where Eric Adams' silence and complicity has led us. Free Dylan now.

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

The way they resolve this unpopularity is control of the information enviornment. Conservative propaganda outlets will just not report on it, mainstream outlets will drown out their reporting of it with manufactured stories like "was Biden old" or trans-panic on A1 while Medicaid cuts run on A14

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

I keep having to restate to comrades that Tru*p is broadly unpopular and that this is an ACTUAL opportunity. Even some organizers seem to be convinced that this guy is more popular than he is. His fans are not THE COUNTRY. Stop being propagandized by the terrible US mainstream media.

NEW: Judge Howell rules that Trump/DOGE's entire takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace was unlawful—including the removal of board members and termination of programs. She reinstates the actual board members and invalidates everything the imposters did. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
