What was that about it isn’t Biden’s responsibility that police are bashing college students nationwide?

Biden’s got student-bashing plans of his own.

We’re experiencing the radicalization of the center and the middle white class, which is something that accompanies authoritarianism

I knew it was coming but I didn’t expect it would feel this horrific. It’s one thing to see it on the page and another to live through it yourself

What in the absolute fuck is happening in this country

So, this makes sense.

Absolutely no way the Democrats can run Biden and expect, or deserve, to win. He must step down and a viable candidate be nominated in his place.

Kristi Noem is the Ted Nugent of Sarah Palins.

Keep thinking about what Sarah Kendzior wrote in November 2016.

It’s time for a national conversation about the crisis of free speech on college campuses.

this means a few things:
- students and allies are not facing the police forces of the past. they are facing militaries. enduring war/like tactics of repression & violence.

- arrests give these militaries access to your biological data. your fingerprints, unmasked faces… 4/n

Take this photo to its natural conclusion: a trigger on some campus rooftop is pulled and a student drops bleeding to the concrete.

What is their end game, and by “they” I mean the nationwide they who decided to overreact and put snipers on roofs.

What’re YOU willing to do?

Lily Kepner UT Austin Austin Statesman Trespassed for speech at a public university because a foreign government doesn't agree with said speech is the kind of dystopian madness I never thought I'd be alive to witness.

They say the fascists made the trains run on time, but in Boston the cops beat up kids and the trains are more useless than ever.

As a Jew, I keep thinking that this horror is the evilest possible legacy of the Holocaust, that it could warp history in such a way that the descendants of those they tried to exterminate would themselves commit genocide. It’s so perverse it takes your breath away.

I just got home from jail because I was arrested for protesting genocide at USC.

This is unconscionable.

As an alum, I demand Jay Hartzell’s immediate resignation for endangering the students and damaging the reputation of my alma mater to score political points using authoritarian tactics.

This tracks.

We are living out 1984. It’s all right before our very eyes. Words mean the opposite. What democracy are we actually fighting for? One only the elites ever really had? All trust is gone, and our mouths are merely filled with slogans planted in our heads to play on repeat.

The FCC just voted to restore net neutrality. If you have no idea what that means, John Oliver broke it down 10 years ago.

This is a fact.

This is the Austin I remember from days of yore.
