Latest comic: If media talked about the donor class the way it talks about college students

#uspol #cartoon #comic #college #protest #education

If media talked about the donor class the way it talks about college students

1. They're behind a free speech crisis on campus.

College student protesters with signs saying "STOP THE GENOCIDE" and "JEWISH STUDENTS FOR PEACE"

Executive-type guy in suit: That does it! I'm having you shut down.

2. They're oversensitive and self-centered.

Black female professor walks by in background

Man in suit: This diversity program threatens truly talented people like me. It must be abolished.

3. They're coddled and have no experience of hardship.

Executive on private jet reading book entitled "How to replace labor with AI": Why do young people dislike corporate America when it's so great?

Flight attendant: Martini, sir?

4. They insult people they disagree with without understanding them.

Executive: @#!$ WOKE KIDS! I WILL BUY THEIR TIKTOK!

“The Board and the Governor have put their politics over justice and made a mockery of our legal system.”

Yesterday, Governor Greg Abbott issued a full pardon for Daniel Perry, who killed Garrett Foster, a protester at a Black Lives Matter march in 2020. Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti explains all the context the governor ignored: https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-pardon-daniel-perry-garrett-foster/

“Of all people, you have a #disability so you can relate, I hope.”

Out today from Austin Free Press: Disability rights activists protested outside the Governor's Mansion, for the "liberation" of more people from institutions, marking the anniversary of a key #SCOTUS decision:

This is how MLK was depicted in 1967 to scare white Americans, in case there’s any confusion about the strategy:
#BLM #BlackLivesMatter #MLK #Protest

'I Plan To Lead Another Non-Violent March Tomorrow'

1967 newspaper cartoon with a reporter getting a statement from Martin Luther King with the city street around them littered with debris, wrecked cars, bodies, and torn apart buildings that are on fire and smoking

I am going to revive my #Youtube channel and start posting there as well.

#clapper is fun, but I made that because of how low the barrier of entry was. It was the easiest #app to just grab and start #livestreaming with, and allows adult content so if something crazy happens at a #protest I don't lose my channel.

If I want to stream I need to use #twitch and YouTube, they are just harder to get into.

Clapper is a bit ghetto really xD

How does this protect your immigrant neighbors who are being raided by ICE? Does this rally help a transgender person maintain access to their gender-affirming medications?

Partly inspired by today's 50501 protests, I wrote some thoughts about how and where I think we should be using our energy in 2025: https://www.patreon.com/posts/stop-marching-on-121443258

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.

Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.

The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.

#law #immigration #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfAssembly #RightToProtest

Yunseo Chung moved to the United States with her family from South Korea when she was 7 years old and was valedictorian of her high school.

ALT

Pursuant to the Policy, and consistent with remarks made by Secretary Rubio and by law enforcement agents who recently arrested another student at Columbia University,? Secretary Rubio purportedly made such a determination as to Ms. Chung ("the Rubio Determination"'). This determination was based on Ms. Chung's actual and perceived lawful activity protected by the First Amendment: participation in protests and statements regarding Palestine, Israel, and discipline of student protestors on campus. Pursuant to the Rubio Determination, ICE, a component of DHS, seeks to arrest Ms. Chung, detain her, and place her in removal proceedings, presumably to South Korea. Ms. Chung is now at active risk of being put in immigration detention and deported from the only country she has ever known.

Hey y'all, a street medic got the shit beat out of them by cops while helping at a counter-protest against an anti-queer hate group in Seattle last Saturday. They could really use some help for hospital bills and care while they're out of work recovering.

I'm not in a position to donate right now, but I'm sharing in hopes someone here is. Thank you ❤️‍🩹

Signs from today’s rally. There were lots of good ones, but I was too shy to go around asking for pictures, or trying to be covert about it.

Selfie of me. I’m wearing a gas mask, goggles over my glasses, and a helmet, with my beard hanging below all of it. I’m inside my house.

BTW still not going to any mass events, even outdoors, for health reasons. so everybody out here who by #disability, like me, or any other reason cannot make it to a #nokings #protest, i see you.

just know there’s a reason foe a vanguardia, guardia and retaguardia.

the vanguard are at the forefront. la guardia spreads the front everywhere. yet, it’s usually the “backguard” ―the last to come in―, the ones who finish the job.

we will find our moments to fight and we will win.

Great article from Alexander Verbeek about standing up to #fascism.

"Around 1,800 Jewish men married to non-Jewish women had been arrested for deportation. For over a week, in freezing winter conditions, approximately 6,000 people—mostly their wives and relatives—protested in shifts outside the building where the men were held. They demanded their release. And incredibly, in Nazi Germany, it worked. The regime relented. The men were freed."
