The just society where workers have to win a union vote to not have coworkers scream racial slurs in their faces. If this seems like a good idea to you, the only revolution you'll ever serve is a genocidal fascist one.

Even aside from their retail business, the website is a fantastic information resource, freely given to the public.

Trans people: please use our correct pronouns and don't call us freaks The Trump administration: if you publicly oppose genocide our secret police will disappear you and send you to a torture gulag in El Salvador Centrists: these two things are the same

yup the board of Columbia is delighted to be “forced” into these changes shame on them and every similar institution aggressively cracking down on their own students

it’s true that a lot of major universities and law firms have the resources to fight back against these awful executive orders it’s also true that many of them are run by powerful people who are delighted to have an excuse to go after a bunch of people they’ve always resented having to listen to

👀Marko Elez, who was fired from DOGE's team at Treasury after the discovery of racist social media posts, was apparently rehired at the Labor Department and detailed earlier this month to HHS. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Maybe the fact that Fetterman wielded a shotgun whilst chasing down an innocent black jogger was a pretty clear indication of what a vile creep he is? Probably should have been a dealbreaker.

Same tbh 😂 Thank you! bsky.app/profile/deni...

Also important to note we’re also witnessing the long shadow of Reagan’s efforts to crush higher education to stop student movements from gaining power in the US. theintercept.com/2022/08/25/s...

Telling how Fetterman's analysis of 2024 is nothing more than the crude identity politics practiced only by the right. Progressives got a Black woman who wasn't in her 80s, ergo, "what they wanted." Nevermind her positions, her campaign, or what progressives said about both; identity is everything.

From the rear, it could almost pass. No help for the front, though.

How do you determine whether they violated the law without due process

That's what complicity gets you.

One of those "I bought this before Elon went crazy" stickers but for your Columbia diploma

"Ask yourself: if a Hamas fighter were hiding under an apartment block of Jewish people in Israel, would the Israel Defense Forces destroy the entire building to kill him? Of course not, but it did so in Gaza because Palestinian lives are devalued."

Any time anyone who is anti-immigrant makes this argument, they are revealing themselves as white supremacist. Concerned about falling birth rates, also concerned about there being too many people in this country. Can’t square that circle without white supremacy.

This piece decrying "the crushing pressure inside [higher ed] to conform with dominant political views" gives two examples. 1) "Only" 60% say it's OK to teach that "efforts to redress racial inequalities represent anti-White racism." 2) Some professors voluntarily bring up climate change in class.

Why are there no articles that begin, “Fascism has a long history of inspiring massacres and war crimes. In this time of overt corruption and unconstitutionality, the Republicans should go fuck themselves.”

Does the Letter mention what happened to their President? Does it include reflection and an apology ? Does it mention Derrick Bell? Has that been shown

Kappa Alpha, surprising no one

“we’re revoking your visa because of your viewpoint” would have been obviously unconstitutional at any point up to Jan. 20 but who the hell knows now

they want worldwide jim crow

The #TeslaTakedown protests are smart, because they have a clear, actionable, achievable goal—make stock price go down—accurately assessing that a lot of Musk’s power derives from his extreme wealth, and that he’s more vulnerable than Trump. And if you doubt that the protests matter, just ask Elon.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

keep thinking about that post about the left is too mean on social media & the dissonance between that veneer of an idea and the news about hundreds of students having their visas revoked and people being taken by the state. The problem has never once been decorum, it has always been power

A group of men violently assaulted a transgender veteran in Seattle walking home from work. They cited Trump's trans military ban as they beat her. One of the perpetrators was already wanted for domestic violence and was previously charged with a hate crime. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/03...

The only thing that's weird about this is that they didn't exhaust the incarcerated population first.

Just heard a radio ad address gen X'ers and assert, "We gave the world the internet." For what definition of "internet" is this plausible?

Here’s an updated list of students known to have been targeted by the Trump administration for speaking out about what Israel is doing to Palestinians in Gaza, in a clear attempt to chill/stop free speech: threadreaderapp.com/thread/19058...

It really is critical that people accept this. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it. The point is literally for kids and people to die. Now, is it foolish that they think THEY are the genetically superior? Sure. But eugenics is definitionally narcissistic and dumb.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

To be clear, Bluesky is open. The intelligence services call the API and collect the data themselves.

A couple nights ago CNN did a clip about a vacation rentals guy in Maine who was explaining that literally all his Canadian business had cancelled and he was going to get wiped out. He didn't blame them, either, probably because they all called him personally to cancel and were polite about it.

"They're gonna come after citizens too!" Oh, really? THEY'VE BEEN AFTER CITIZENS THE WHOLE TIME, GENIUS. They just weren't white citizens and the opression was very targeted, so you weren't afraid like you are now that the Keystone Cops are running the show.

me I derive a lot of joy from that, actually

This is even worse than it first appears. Starts by attacking a law school clinic for representing protesters. It moves onto attacking the entire clinical program at Northwestern for promoting "progressive-left" "causes" (such as addressing overpolicing). It names an individual clinical professor.

this is so evil i can't even comprehend it.

No doubt they believe gender is an immutable, binary one.

so is it the official view of the white house that race is a biological reality?

@enriquebedlam.bsky.social, @szreich.bsky.social, can the state department just up and unilaterally revoke a student visa?

Just in time for the measles outbreak.

I was at an event yesterday where the women at the heart of the Women’s History Museum were touting the “endorsement” of the WH, and I was like…oh, y’all are delulu that’s why you think it matters. Unsurprisingly they were all white women over 60.

Now there's a horror I haven't heard before:

This is bipartisan US foreign policy:

Now comes time for the caretakers of the Smithsonian to make their place alongside the great heroes of museum, archive, and library history, who secreted away the irreplaceable cultural treasures in their charge rather than let them be destroyed by the regime that dubbed them "degenerate".

For all venmo setting accounts to public by default has been a privacy disaster, it sure has brought some transparency to government.

Black & Brown communities were the petri dish where they experimented with this new generation of techno-carceral neoliberalism. You don't get here without Project Greenlight in Detroit, Baltimore's Spy Plane, Atlanta's Operation Shield, NYC's Compstat and the "digital border wall" across the West
