The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

When we said democracy was on the ballot we weren't lying.
Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election ... it would be impossible to lose an election."

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.
A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.
This really can work.

Of course it's the governments job to feed people because it is the government that maintains this system in which people cannot feed themselves.
Or, they could change the system.

I prefer governments that don’t try to “take the freedom of speech away.”
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Especially important to see the Christians supporting the protests against ICE which is carrying out atrocity in support of Christian nationalism.
This video was taken at approximately 12:55 PM and these church bells are not ringing the hour. They are ringing, and ringing, and ringing as the protest passes by

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all."
He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota.

Fantastic explanation.
