these students are so incredibly brave. the @Columbia administrators responsible for bringing this disgusting violence and terror on their own students will never live down the shame of this for the rest of their small lives.

can everyone who says electoral organizing is worthless and lib sit with this for like 10 sec ?? electing Vaughn is the reason MD can no longer house ICE detainees or profit from detention, which actually addresses deportation profiteering+state participation in family separation

seeing the news about the indictment made me realize there’s no amount of money that could hush my feelings for you. I’m sorry I wasn’t there when things got Stormy between us. just know that Trump’s fingerprints can’t compare to the ones you left on my heart…hope you’re well

@MarxistTrader the context of employment and expectations for behavior between colleagues in a workplace are so vastly different than that of a dating app??

whisper networks are valuable and necessarily subversive in that they allow women to voice experiences of abuse, harassment, and violence—often by people with vastly more power—in an effort to protect others from similar harm. this is so wildly different, I’m losing my mind???

don’t really have the words for what it feels like to have watched the rise of anti-Asian racism, misogyny, & violence in quiet horror, to have spent the past year looking over my shoulder when I'm out alone, even as our experiences as POC are constantly minimized and discounted.
