"The obvious reason the #Trump administration is making an example of #Columbia is the #GazaProtests of last spring, which began on Morningside Heights and spread at warp speed around the nation. But the government is also using its anti-Palestinian crackdown as an excuse to fulfill another one of its cherished goals: to crush the influence of prestigious universities."

Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on Republican's horrible cuts. The vote is tomorrow (Friday) morning. It can be blocked despite Schumer (see post body) - SDF Chatter lemmy.sdf.org/post/30989305

lemmy.sdf.orgCall your senator and tell them to vote NO on Republican's horrible cuts. The vote is tomorrow (Friday) morning. It can be blocked despite Schumer (see post body) - SDF ChatterCall your senators, they can still block this despite Schumers push. The vote is tomorrow. If all republican vote for it, they need 7 dems. 8 with Rand Paul who has said he’ll vote no. (Republicans are not using reconciliation so it needs the the filibuster) Many senate dems are publicly coming out against voting for cloture (meaning they won’t vote to let it get through the filibuster). As of what I last read, around 11 dems are thought to potentially vote to let it pass filibuster. Most of those are still not sure. We only need a handful more of those to become noes and it will get blocked. Some yeses have flipped to noes because of public pressure. We cannot let up now Link to find direct numbers your senators https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm [https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm] Or call the capitol switch board (202) 224-3121 House dems are publicly telling the senate not to do this (and it’s not just AOC on this - it’s quite a few of them). Earlier read that 7 Dem state AGs are saying the same. Federal worker unions are telling senate dems not do this. Keep the pressure up

The time has come for Chuck #Schumer to go. His lack of resolve is going to enable Elon the #oligarch and the president that he purchased complete their takeover of the federal government. We need to let every #Democratic senator know that they should vote against this #Republican bill that cedes the powers of Congress to the executive branch.

Jenifer Bunty, a recently fired Forest Service specialist said: “It’s really hard to let go of that mission, that drive that is bigger than myself,” Bunty says. When she told her daughters, ages five and seven, that she’d been fired, they didn’t understand the word. So she explained that it meant she couldn’t do her job. “They’re, like, ‘Wait, you don’t get to help the forest and the animals anymore?’ And they started to cry.”

In a heated speech on Thursday morning, Schumer argued for a new election in #Israel & the end of Netanyahu’s reign. Schumer he had “lost his way” & criticized him for fraternizing with far-right extremists.

“Nobody expects PM #Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of #violence, preserve Israel’s credibility on the world stage, & work towards a 2-state solution,” he said.

You ever have one of those drunken discussions with your friends about what outrageous things you would do for some amount of money? Like “Would you eat shit for $1million?”

The current #uspol situation is that, but instead all of the rest of us are having to eat the shit while a bunch of other people make $4 trillion.

Members of the government are now saying the US has to be “profitable.” One of the ways these tech and hedge fund guys make companies profitable is through layoffs. How do you “lay off” citizens? I guess we’re going to find out. #uspol #uspolitics
