all these elite universities capitulating to authoritarian bullying because they're afraid of losing federal funds. What are endowments for if not insurance against stressful conditions??
NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.
This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

This!
This is also why I am so optimistic despite all of the extremely terrible shit that is going on. There’s so much up for grabs right now and the rebuilding is a choice we are making in this moment. I think we can win it. We just have to try.

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

Just in case anyone isn’t following: Elon did a Nazi salute twice and is now speaking at an AfD (neo-Nazi) rally in Germany.
If it salutes like a Nazi and campaigns for the Nazis, he’s probably a Nazi.

Hey, did you know that if you use a public library computer, the moment you sign out everything is wiped? And if you use a guest pass, they can't track anything to your account, not that a library would share patron info anyway.
Note that anyone can email the snitch line, DEIAtruth@opm.gov. So if you’ve got any, uh, thoughts or information you’d like to share about this initiative, fire off that email today!
