Image shows a side by side of Louisiana State Univeristy’s football flag with the Tigers logo on a helmet, next to an image of student and survivor Kendall Francis.

LSU student Kendall Francis is speaking out.

The university's own Title IX office ruled that a football player had r*ped her.

He appealed. LSU reduced his suspension to probation, saying he just made "an error in judgment." He's free to return to campus, class and his team.

Kendall has to take her classes online now.

No criminal charges have been filed.

From Cornell to LSU, shielding r*pists is an institutional epidemic.

Texas administration and legislature is panicking. They know their policies are dangerous, and they’re trying to deflect. All the support and listening won’t do a damned thing if you need an abortion to live in a state whose doctors are afraid of going to jail for saving their patients.

i honestly think the most colonised sentence in political language is "nothing can be done." because something is already being done every single day to reproduce the world you're being told cannot be changed.

Robobobatron 
@robobobatron 

im not sure its "colonised" because what you are describing is empire and its maintenance. i think its useful to understand that where you stand might already be empire.

Amina 

a colonised mind is one that has learned to experience empire's reality as reality tout court, rather than something historically constructed, violently maintained, and therefore capable of being unmade. the material reproduction of empire requires ideological reproduction, too.

DHS responded that Yiannopoulos had entered the US legally in 2019 and overstayed his visa as well as missed his immigration hearings.

When You Meet a Member of the Ku Klux Klan

Robert L. Poston (1921)

When you meet a member of the Ku Klux Klan, 
Walk right up and hit him like a natural man;
Take no thought of babies he may have at home, Sympathy's defamed when used upon his dome.
Hit him in the mouth and push his face right in,
Knock him down a flight of stairs and pick him up again.
Get your distance from him and then take a running start, Hit him, brother, hit him, and please hit the scroundrel hard.
Pour some water on him, bring him back to life once more Think of how he did your folks in the days of long ago;
Make a prayer to heaven for the strength to do the job, Kick him in the stomach, he, a low, unworthy snob.
Call your wife and baby out to see you have some fun, 
Sic your bulldog on him for to see the rascal run.
Head him off before he gets ten paces from your door, Take a bat of sturdy oak and knock him down once more.
This time you may leave him where he wallows in the sand, A spent and humble member of the Ku Klux Klan.

In the first panel, Calvin’s Dad approaches his son while he’s listening to the radio.

The text bubble from Calvin’s Dad reads “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

The next panel shows Calvin’s Dad continuing to explain: “Derivatives? Gambling.
AI? Fraud.
Video games? Gambling.
Social media? Fraud.”

Calvin is looking down. “Yeah,” he says.

Calvin’s Dad concludes,
“The stock market looks like gambling, but it's actually fraud.”
