Stop me before I reply to my colleague who's complaining about how conservative students don't "feel safe" to express their views

Rubio says they've stripped 300 people of visas for protesting on behalf of Palestinians

I still think we need to know more about the pipeline of the info leading to these arrests. Is it all being fed to them by motivated antagonists, or are they doing intel of their own?

@skinnylatte I feed the albatross all day long at work too and let me tell you, its appetite is unceasing

Ok we got one (1) R1 saying something, at last!

"we will stand up for Berkeley's values and defend them to the very best of our ability."

Was that so hard??

I've been unable to caption this all day. Welcome to my local paper

I wound up with a lot of theorists of social movements in my mentions yesterday. This is for the people who said Tesla protesters are not accomplishing anything because they're not being sufficiently "disruptive" standing on the roadside

Kick 'em where it hurts (in the empire)

Another thing to note in the "why aren't USian's protesting" discourse:

This is the geography for a lot of the country. (Even so, people *are* showing up!)

Wish there was a better symbol for solidarity against violent incursion than a nationalist one

It's not all bad news, keep making noise: Children’s Hospital LA reverses ban on gender-affirming hormonal therapy after weeks of protest

@AnarchoNinaWrites Definitely no need for reply or acknowledgment, but I'm sorry you're in this (all these) situations. Fuck. hope you get some comfort, can't/won't sugarcoat how much everything sucks tho ❤️💛

You could read the story but you don't really need to (LA Times):

@MediaActivist Thank you. If information dissemination were so irrelevant to the struggle, they would obviously not be trying so hard to gain control of our options for doing this

Q: Why is Europe not in the same straits that the US is with bird flu in cattle herds?

A: It's not legal feed literal chicken shit to cows there

True story: Last year a very unobjectionable list serv faculty have used for years for being windbags got taken down with no notice by Google, because someone maliciously reported it, because of a message some campus community members did not like. (This was in the peak Gaza protests moment. The list was moderated & the item that passed over it was mundane, and factual, but still objectionable to some.)

Don't trust Google for your organizing, no way.

In re noncompliance: perhaps I shouldn't admit this but I once sabotaged a database by entering "University of Chicano Press" every time when I was supposed to have typed "University of Chicago Press"

Not sure how many times, but I worked there for about nine months
