The Students Have Never Been the Enemy

Student protest movements have historically functioned as an indispensable corrective for America and the West. That is the legacy of 1968 we should be talking about.

@tzimmer_history Thank you Thomas.
I’m a #GenXers & daughter of working class “#babyboomer Hippies”.
We’re all born & raised in Ann Arbor, MI…my parents were HUGELY involved in the ‘68 #protests & went on to start our cities Ecology Center.

But current protests really get under their skin.
Mom & I argue over it.
I’ve been unable to voice effectively my concerns.
Your piece lays it all out there.
Hopefully after she reads this piece, we can reach a clearer understanding of this issue.

“Tyson Foods dumped millions of pounds of toxic pollutants directly into American rivers and lakes over the last five years, threatening critical ecosystems, endangering wildlife and human health, a new investigation reveals.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, chloride, oil and cyanide were among the 371m lb of pollutants released into waterways by just 41 Tyson slaughterhouses and mega processing plants between 2018 and 2022.”

W/all the tax breaks big corp. get, they still $h*t on the area that supports & enables them. Basically, the state is extending tax breaks to businesses that pollute the community.
“Gross”!

“Ethical business” practices is an oxymoron.

Arizona voters elected a serious attorney general in 2022.

She's gone after the Trump world election fraud scams in a big, big way, charging major pols, lawyers, et al in the fake elector scheme.

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/24/arizona-fake-electors-indictments/73184206007/

Looks like the Arizona Republic wisely dropped its paywall on this huge story.

@dangillmor Just like #michigan fake electors…folks in the legislature…
The #rnc & “movers & shakers” of state #gop machine!

“The Arizonans now facing charges include powerful & influential GOP figures: a former Repub Party of #arizona chair; a Repub nat committeeman & executive at #turningpointusa & its political arm; & two sitting state #senators — one of whom retains immense political power at the Arizona #capitol.”

If we can’t kick ‘em out…VOTE THEM OUT!

"This is not subjective. We all saw it. Plenty of leaders today try to convince the masses we did not see what we saw, but our eyes don’t deceive. (If leaders began a yearslong campaign today to convince us that the Baltimore bridge did not collapse Tuesday morning, would you ever believe them?) Trust your eyes. Trump on Jan. 6 launched the most serious threat to our system of government since the Civil War. You know that. You saw it." https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/03/our-trump-reporting-upsets-some-readers-but-there-arent-two-sides-to-facts-letter-from-the-editor.html

@GottaLaff great piece! This really brings the point home:

“Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power”—historian Timothy W. Ryback.

“It explains how German leaders – including some in the media -- thought they could use as a means to get power for themselves & were willing to look past his obvious deficiencies to get where they wanted. In tolerating & using Hitler as a means to an end, they helped create the monstrous responsible for millions of deaths.”

Most people panic about political deepfakes, but 98% of deepfakes are porn, and 99% of those targeted are women/girls.

Companies profit by facilitating this abuse toward women, Google directs traffic to these sites, and the female victims of these attacks have no recourse https://nyti.ms/3PwNOGs

“If Cortez Masto is truly this concerned about supporting Biden’s judicial nominee because of a thin connection to AFJ & its advocacy for releasing elderly former w/COVID, then it makes no sense why she voted to…” 1/2

“…confirm one of former Prez 🤡rump’s judicial nominees who was directly involved in defending someone in court who was convicted of killing a police officer.”

The piece in HuffPost adds…

“Cortez Masto’s office did not respond to a request for comment about how the senator squares her opposition to #Mangi with all of these details.”

    @DrALJONES This points out Israeli Gov’s “methodology”.
    Gee, guess we shouldn’t have supported #netanyahu

    “If the agency no longer exists, argues Israel, then the #refugee issue must no longer exist, & the legitimate right for #palestinian refugees to return to their land will be unnecessary. #israel has denied that right of return since the late 1940s, even though its own membership of the #un was made conditional upon Palestinian refugees being allowed to return to their homes & land.”

    If players support & organize the “ College Athlete Boycott”…
    By at schools who’ve decimated DEI programs at state colleges.
    Imagine the drain on their “players/employees!

    “The impact that parents & guardians of black recruits could have on state schools so dependent upon the labor of their kids by avoiding places w/regressive racial rules like ‘s would be immeasurable.”
