The day after a Fayette County Public Schools spokeswoman told me reporters are not allowed to speak to school principals, we find out they've been having secret meetings over redistricting.

When I was Labor Secretary, the leading cause of workplace death for men was auto accident.

The leading cause of workplace deaths for women was homicide. The numbers have remained similar since.

The women are right to pick the bear. Case closed.

Being uninformed isn't just about believing incorrect facts. It's often, and far more importantly, about focusing on the wrong facts. This is the primary function of the best propaganda.

some examples of “non-students”:
-faculty
-journalists
-students from other schools (esp in CUNY network)
-alumni
-supporters/observers (a common feature of pretty much every protest/picket line!)

spreading these dumbass pie graphs without context/verification is irresponsible

“Dissent must never lead to disorder.” History tells us otherwise, Joe Biden.

The movement for Palestinian freedom carries with it the legacy of many things, one of which is civil disobedience. From the US to Palestine, civil disobedience as a tactic is always the direct result…

really revealing how many folks on here spent years trumpeting their civil-rights bona fides with memes about “TK threw the first brick at Stonewall” and how John Lewis taught them to create “good trouble” … and are now cheering as cops shoot rubber bullets at students.

Dear President Biden,

What do you think is most effective in combatting antisemitism—when police beat up Jewish elders or when they beat up Jewish students?

I guess it doesn’t matter because both are happening, but I’m curious which one you enjoy more.
Sincerely,
A middle aged Jew

Please amplify: Félix V. Matos Rodríguez is allowing the over-charging of CUNY students--many are facing felonies--while Columbia intervened for its students.

Apartheid in a nutshell:
For PR, Israel cried non-stop about the 7-year-old bedouin, Amina, who was injured in Iran's missile attack by shrapnel of an Israeli Iron Dome Interceptor

Today, Israeli authorities delivered a notice to demolish her home while she's still hospitalized!

Reminder that it’s all theater.

“Criticism” of Netanyahu from people like Pelosi and Schumer is meant to protect Biden, that’s it.

Did some background on this guy after finding his Facebook account and unsurprisingly he really is a Nazbol. I realize criticizing Zionism is in no way anti-Semitic, but I feel like we are crossing some lines here (thread):
