A David Johnson, one of many. Anarcho-Satanist, one of few.
I believe in a world without rulers or ruled, even tho I may not live to see it. I believe injustice must be fought even if you lose.
The work is the work, and more hands make it lighter.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

The DoD law of war manual explicitly states that firing on shipwrecked people is not only an illegal order but something every Navy personnel knows is illegal. It is the example of an order that should not be complied with. No ifs, ands, or buts.
It dovetailed with the freakout over the unlawful orders video, but also it is just qualitatively worse. It's absolutely a crime under all circumstances, even against a real enemy in a real war. And that has deep historical roots as *the* most notorious clear-cut war crime you can commit at sea.
Does anyone have a robust theory as to why the recent reporting on follow on strikes has galvanized this response and not you know the murders they were in the first order?

All of this is true, but I will also say that, for me personally, a huge factor is also, “what do you want me to *DO*?”
I’m surrounded by “DON’Ts” of impurity, so what’s really frustrating is the lack of answer to, “OK, what are you saying is the good place to shop from (and how easy is it)?”

This is exactly why boycotts have to be used sparingly and strategically.
When we get to the point of "just boycott all the corporations doing evil," well.
Bad news about the fundamental nature of corporations.

“don’t buy a chicken sandwich from

Yeah this is a really crucial point that a lot of Americans, and a lot of Jews, genuinely do not understand: the vast majority of the world understands Palestine to be a colonial issue because it is a colonial issue.

just a reminder that *lots* of countries have universities, and (to my knowledge) none of them but the U.S. treat their universities as largely minor league sports franchises
LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.
But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

It’s interesting to see the ire put against anarchists and their “violence” and to use an image of a cop pepper spraying peaceful protesters sitting on the ground.
This Day in Labor History: November 30, 1999. The WTO protests begin in Seattle. Carefully constructed coalitions between labor, environmentalists, and other activists were blown up by anarchists who hijacked the protests for their own purposes, leading to a violent response from the Seattle cops!!!

the implicit standard of "criminality" is doing a lot of work here, mostly as a desperate appeal to avoid thinking (not grading any of your students' exams is not criminal behavior either but you can very quickly see how that might nevertheless put a professor's employment in jeopardy)
