These universities should be offering shelter and refuge to every last possible student who could have been and still will be threatened by this administration. God knows they can fucking afford it. Our kids deserve to know their schools aren’t going to throw them under the bus at the first sign of trouble.

I’m just now realizing the 19th is the day before Easter and orthodox Easter (happy belated Passover too!) - I can’t decide if that’s going to help, hurt, or nada.

Same, I need to repair the fan on mine asap though. The ifixit parts don’t look too bad but it does not look like a fun operation haha.

When I lived in a similar tourist town our line of thinking was, well surely they’ll have to finally provide housing once the cost of living within commuting distance of servants becomes impossible (ignorant, I know now). They cracked down on the unhoused a lot and really no space for them to go anyway.

Then I started to see old neighbors of mine in the parking lot of our apartment complex. One woman in particular, retirement age, former nurse. She was living inside her car, with no job, nothing. No family. Notably someone who wanted a job but just couldn’t get one. Some people in our complex would rotate taking her in, but without services in the area to help her it was just unsustainable. And management. Fucking landlords. They’d make us pay a fee for having her stay if they found out. This was ten years ago even.

I had to finally move my family out, I was fortunate enough to do so. But I’ll never forget her, and I’m sure she’s either in that car or on the streets now and it just breaks my fucking heart. I can’t stop fighting now when people like her are just trying to fucking survive.

Agreed. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, cowards.

This is terrible advice.

I know where, and I know when.

Yeah no that’s why you set a date because we’re not working around this one rando, it’s why the poster says (a weekend!) because most people dont know, and that’s the first thing a lot of people need to know. If this person wants to do more there are lots of outlets to do so, that’s great. But do not ignore these large gatherings.

Rimworld?

Good point, and with the costs saved from removing flouride, they could further increase child-hydration profit margins by simply having them eat the paint off the walls instead.

Taking “action” like this with mass anything is such a waste of what little time it would also take to just call your congressperson directly. At best with something like this you’re going to get tallied up but weighted so low it will hardly matter, especially when they’re sitting at…7k? Signatures right now. They will essentially spam filter you out. Please take direct, personal action.

I thought 50501 was more of a loose collective of groups coming together for this. That’s what was originally on their site. When that happens though it leads to a huge opening for existing groups with the infrastructure in place to kind of swoop in and take over.

If there is one group attempting to consolidate and claim this movement for themselves, I guarantee it will be Indivisible hijacking it for the Democratic Party. Tbh it was kind of ripe for this. Having so much on substack does seem to track with that assumption as well. I don’t know, I don’t like it.

Ok I’m not one to jump on the whole dead internet theory thing but the number of AI larping as a revolutionary posts coming out of that place is too damn high, it seriously concerns me because 1 who is doing it and 2 why. If it’s to make it look more active than it is, or hype it up, idk it doesn’t feel right. But at the same time I’m like - well, is it just finally time we play by their rules? Because that might be what it takes.

Have to leave someone to funnel the public money to private schools
