Also, if you’re on Instagram, you might want to unfollow this guy (I posted about this over there, too):

this man endorsed Hakeem Jeffries, who was directly involved in the genocide and has taken almost $10 million from the zionist lobby, is the first Mayor in 60 years to reappoint a police commissioner who is also a Zionist to shut down protest on college campuses, guy is absolutely correct. And I'm sure this money will probably be used to advance Zionism like his moves while y'all claimed they aren't.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

I may need to go get my tinfoil hat, but I really think there was a big right wing campaign ready to go based on the assumption that Schmitt was going to pull a splashy gotcha moment. The Axios story and all of these right wingers immediately crowing that Smith got got. And then not following up.

STOP! Do not treat this cover story from ICE and DOJ with any credence whatsoever. So far, they have lied every time about what led to a shooting. At most, this suggests that the ICE agent who shot Wilber Garcés Pérez did so in anger, and had no body camera. wapo.st/4xP6VyM

Trump & ICE have done this to 25,000 people & counting. The government is abducting our neighbors and disappearing them to places with abhorrent human rights records. Often, they’re stranded there without money or identity papers. These aren’t deportations - they’re renditions.
