This man was talking so fast on a podcast I thought I’d bumped up the speed by accident. And I’ve been told I’m a fast NY talker. Dude was buzzing!

Also, very soon, we're gonna need to lock arms and reject cryptocurrency. We haven't collectively begun to organize ourselves without money, but we need to. They've said they're going to tank the dollar, and we should believe them.

I am tired of people ignoring that disabled people OF ALL AGES need Medicare & Social Security, not just seniors. In this fascist regime leaving us out is dangerous. It WILL get us killed faster & with less pushback. Stop making disabled people afterthoughts— that’s how we got here to begin with.

Columbia is welcoming ICE agents into their campus, with or without warrants, and instructing faculty not to interfere with their operations to arrest, harass, or deport students. It is clear now that Columbia will take no action to protect students on visas or with green cards.
“It is not yet clear if Columbia explicitly welcomed ICE and DHS onto its campus. But the school has recently issued guidance on “potential visits to campus” by ICE. While it encourages campus affiliates to contact the school’s public safety office if they see ICE activity on campus, it says faculty and staff “should not interfere” for instance in “exigent circumstances” where ICE agents seek access to university buildings or people without a warrant.

In at least one email seen by Zeteo, the guidance was emailed to some students on Saturday – the day Khalil was detained.”
