The federal government is trying to place the University of California under political control. Sign the UC Unbowed petition before the UC Regents meet on Nov 18 and tell them to protect UC's independence. alumni.standforcampusfreedom.org/petitions/un...

And the _real_ catalyst was that then-11-year-old Karenna Gore had played Purple Rain at a party her parents Al & Tipper Gore were hosting. Members of congress and their spouses had been invited, and Darling Nikki came on, scandalizing all these nice white folks who’d never heard of sex. Drama!
Here are the songs that helped make it happen #TheFilthyFifteen

Political violence has been a constant in the United States since its foundation. The outrage only pops up when it's directed at white people. Hypocrisy based on ignorance makes me irritable.

C'mon, it's time. Independent California. Everything we get back from the Federal government is being taken away except the bullets and tear gas they're shooting at us. Why should we give them our wealth to do that? Fuck it. We should be out.

🌊 Although the circumstances are really awful, I have been really glad to be able to attend this @usocb.bsky.social Summer Workshop virtually. I wasn't going to be able to go for funding reasons (as usual) but the OCB team has been stellar as always and it's great to hear about great research.

yep. and before citzens united it was the revolving door. all corruption all the time
Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.
