This my new top candidate for a post which I would never believe could possibly be true if I could send it back in time to myself to read in 2016. It's a sick joke. They have managed to turn a refugee resettlement system which should be a matter of national pride into a parody of itself

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

idgaf about ratm tbh but it's extremely funny to ascribe this to a guitar player in a band instead of the democrats who have been doing this with things like abortion for decades
Their band is called "Rage Against The Machine," not "Overturn The Machine." Tom Morello's entire wealth depends on The Machine continuing.  Harris, with an economics degree and plans to help the working class, was a threat to The Machine. And a threat to The Machine is a threat to Tom Morello.

This and another post are the first I’m seeing of this and idk what the actual context is but Tom Morello fucking rocks. The one time I met him he nearly spit out his drink when I mistakenly said he “campaigned for John kerry” in2004 lol

Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

Fun fact: When I went to speak at Broadview while I was still under federal indictment, 3 VERY obvious Feds kept following me, trying to copy these people. They had riot shields that said “WE PROTECT US” and asked me conspiratorially if I “knew about the plan” which was totally real. Bro. (1/4)

Student journalists, Cereese Qusba, and Sophia Dasser, of The Cornell Daily Sun are to be commended for their assiduous reporting of this distressing story. Jane Doe deserves justice. The men who raped her deserve jail. Those who knew and did nothing should be investigated and dealt with.

Like the anti-woke backlash of which it's part, the whole "campuses as hotbeds of left-wing radicalism" discourse willfully confuses the noise for the signal. Most people go for a job credential and leave deeply socialized into the protocols of power, of which violence against women is central.
