Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Disabled people are not expendable.

Disabled people are not lazy.

Disabled people are not “choosing” to be sick.

Disabled people deserve healthcare, social supports & accommodation.

These are not controversial concepts. Ableism & health supremacy tell you otherwise.

Fight with us. Fight for us.

All of this!
The way this works is that you either defend Khalil's First Amendment rights, no matter what you think about his specific views, or else you acquiesce to a totalitarian dystopia where the government can disappear people for expressing opinions opposed by the regime. There's really no middle ground.
Good piece on many university presidents' cowardly refusal to speak out against the Trump administration's ghastly, unlawful abduction and detention of Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation against his constitutionally protected speech. No surprise, but a shame nonetheless. slate.com/life/2025/03...

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

You cannot and should not ever “meet people halfway” when it comes to your rights and/or your existence as a person. You will either be accepted as a human being who is different from them or they can fuck off.

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.

Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.

But it's not over.

It's not that progressives have any agency within the DNC, it's the fact that progressives are the only ones who ever coherently articulate ANYTHING. So we're at fault, for consistently speaking up in actual sentences articulating actual positions. But Harris touring with Liz Cheney is cool.
