Sen. Collins faced Troy Jackson last night in their Maine Senate debate. On stage, Collins inaccurately described ProPublica’s story about an FBI anticorruption investigation that probed the conduct of her & her staff until Trump’s DOJ shut it down. Let’s get into the facts…

The whole speech is good, but this part in particular is particularly relevant now. www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/publ...

A screenshot of a section of the linked speech by former President Harry Truman:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

But when a Democratic candidate goes out and explains what the New Deal and fair Deal really are--when he stands up like a man and puts the issues before the people--then Democrats can win, even in places where they have never won before. It has been proven time and again.
We are getting a lot of suggestions to the effect that we ought to water down our platform and abandon parts of our program. These, my friends, are Trojan horse suggestions. I have been in politics for over 30 years, and I know what I am talking about, and I believe I know something about the business. One thing I am sure of: never, never throw away a winning program.
This is so elementary that I suspect the people handing out this advice are not really well-wishers of the Democratic Party.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

The profound part of Juneteenth for me is that before this was made a holiday, there was no official celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. When the 13th Amendment passed in December 1865, the legislators who witnessed its enshrinement imagined that the day would be remembered.

Did Victor Glover attend Cal Poly on a wrestling scholarship & later play on the football team? Yup. Was he a prime agitator in forcing the administration to create a DEI plan of action? Yup. Was he part of a group of men selected to inform students about rape & sexual assault? YESSIR

**NOT WANTED?**
Carlos Arredondo speaks during a public comment period Wednesday night at the Cal Poly ASI meeting. “You guys seem to ignore the fact that Cal Poly doesn’t want us here,” he said.

**CAL POLY**
By Dave Wilcox
Telegram-Tribune

Minority students angered by new admissions figures showing a steep drop-off in the numbers of Blacks and Latinos accepted at Cal Poly is issued a passionate call for action Wednesday night from student government.

Saying the university isn’t doing enough to recruit and retain minority students, an informal student organization proposed the Associated Students. The help pay for stepped-up outreach to high schools in areas specified as critical to Cal Poly’s traditional enrollment.

The proposal, articulated by gender major Victor Glover, was at the heart of Wednesday night’s protest that saw about 75 students attend the ASI meeting.

“We are here because we are endangered,” said student Glover.

“This issue is very serious to us,” said civil engineering major Radhuni Branch. “To have a diverse campus makes opportunities more well-rounded in the world.”

Glover underscored that the ASI outreach program is an integral part of their proposals.

“This is radical, you guys,” said Glover, predicting it could be a program that other universities might emulate. “This is students for students.”

Zingg, provost Juan Paul Zingg, who fervently threw his weight behind Glover, declared it an ASI-recruit.

“This is a true crisis,” said Zingg. “There’s nothing more important than students being students and students united.”

Glover and other speakers, Diversity is essential to university being able to pay for more targeted funding in the future.

Later, Zingg said it could help programs targeting minority students, which Cal Poly itself could probably endorse.

Forum addresses low minority enrollment at Poly

By Christine Lawlor
Daily Staff Writer

Seventy students and faculty attended Vafambi, a new African American discussion group that met for the first time Monday to ponder the question, "Cal Poly's Admissions Crisis: Where are All the Black Faces?"

Presenters Victor Glover, Ingrid Bryan and Elizabeth Athen-Anderson discussed the crisis situation they feel African Americans have reached in the aftermath of Prop 209.

The drop in the number of African Americans accepted to Cal Poly for Fall 1998 alarmed both the presenters and the audience alike.

Although the discussion was led primarily by African Americans, the audience consisted of students and faculty of all different ethnicities and cultures.

Vafambi's founder Henry Trotter, English senior, said he was very pleased with the turnout and the number of faculty and students who showed up.

"This was a very special Vafambi and a good way to start off the group because the issue concerns a lot of people," Trotter said.

Glover, an engineering senior, was passionate in his presentation and stressed the need for immediate action in order to get results.

"Cal Poly has the chance to take this state into the next millennium by taking action now," he said. "This is not the first time this (a set back for minorities) has happened, but let's make it the last."

Glover said people need to put their time and money into increasing diversity at Cal Poly and reversing the effects Prop 209 will have on minority enrollment.

"Truth and technology will always take over bullshit and bureaucracy," Glover said.

Cal Poly Provost Paul Zing attended the meeting. He said he sees a need for accuracy when bringing this issue to Administration.

"You have to have clear, accurate facts because they will only listen to the superficial facts, not necessarily your heartfelt plea," Zing said.

Zing said he would support the students 100 percent and would use his position to help.
