This is absurd.

GW and DC have come out looking far better because they handled the encampments with a cautious and thoughtful lens.

It’s just another opportunity for Elise Stefanik to launch a witch hunt.

MPD is by no means perfect, but it sets a relatively high bar for police departments when it comes to managing protests. And that largely came from the years-long lawsuits and expensive settlements after the mass arrests at the World Bank protests back in the early 2000s.

Sure as heck ain’t feeling like a “land of the free” this morning

I’ll just retweet this as I watch people rooting for the kettling at Columbia.

Dismissing them as slacktivists negates the entire purpose of discourse. Disagree with their views or actions, but don’t cheer on excessive force and suggest they’re misguided.

To be honest, 90 percent of situations involving bad outcomes would be avoided if people adopted most of these behaviors.

On the other hand, if he goes after Clippy I may start crying

I’m gonna miss this place. The owner and I used to chat up our favorite restaurants in my little neighborhood in Rome, and always laid on the Italian accent like you were actually ordering an espresso from your corner bar. 😢

My partner's alma mater is serving as a voice of reason, and a necessary one.

Looking to my fellow fintech compatriots -- fintechjunkie, Matt Janiga 💥♻️, Jason Mikula, Jason Henrichs -- to share their thoughts on Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and their role in small biz banking!

Any content or people I should talk to?

Whether you think the college campus protesters are naive, or you've over simplified their stances for convenience, or you just dismiss them because they are young, it's a bad idea to presume you know what they are thinking without actually talking to them.

All these agencies and their regulatory capture!

Why not just let people drive without their hands on the wheel, like the Constitution intended?

FWIW shriya’s perspective was not well worded and received ample criticism

But *lots* of those critics watch more powerful tech leaders say far more terrifying things about political dissent and what they want to do with it and (at best) remain silent or (at worst) endorse them

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

After surveying nearly a hundred high performers, they tend to perform best when:

-Felt supported
-Self-worth wasn't on the line
-Secure in who they are
-Pursuing out of joy
-Exploring what was possible instead of feeling forced to achieve a result

Also this seems to be an apt time to RT this given the discourse

It should be noted that MLK had a generally unfavorable rating amongst Americans prior to passage of the civil rights act.

History tells a different story.

Read it carefully though. Anything the University deems to be a violation of the rules is prohibited and gets you a three year suspension. Does that give adequate notice? Does it sound like you will get any due process to see if less than a three year suspension is appropriate?

It should be noted that *actual* antisemitism- Unite the Right rallies, some evangelical conventions, etc - are not treated with such excessive belligerence as antiwar campus demonstrations.

We should be asking why.

I think it would be kind of cool for founders to ask investors 'have you ever participated in a sit-in or demonstration where you were at risk of being arrested or detained?'

I'd love to talk about that with founders I work with, honestly, if they asked. :)

I never thought 'Live Laugh Love' would be a mantra I adopt, but as someone approaching his mid-forties it actually gets me 80 percent of the way there
