It’s been more than a day since an attack on academic freedom & free speech wounded my campus. Our campus leadership’s silence is a continuing attack on these vital educational values. tsl.news/claremont-police-de…

Donate to outreach programs for students of color. Have faith in the skilled lawyers on our side, who will continue the fight. Remember that this was a long game for the Right, and it needs to be for us. And vote with control of SCOTUS as your issue.

Been here since 2007, when you could see a live feed of everyone. Like all social, good things and bad. Models, scale, profit motive, they all change things. At the end of the day tho, it’s all the same: we don’t need to say/ share everything that pops into our head.

What's not important to them: nuclear secrets, national security, rule of law, federal law enforcement, Judeo-Christian morality, labor rights, lower taxes for middle class, and basic public image of the office. What is important to them: whiteness.
