You’re goddamn right we did.

Wellmark is not your doctor. They have no business ordering tests or saying your care is unnecessary. They are in the business of making a profit. They raise premiums and deny claims to do it.

Sign on to stop Wellmark denying claims and raising premiums: https://t.co/1nIY46qkjR

this is the mission of people in power. they try to shield themselves from criticism by hammering people with rhetoric that focuses on individualism rather than their failures. don’t blame your peers, focus your outrage at the administration.

[Drake Comrades @DrakeComrades]

Your actions matter? It is absolutely disgusting that administration is trying to shift the blame of putting students lives at risk to individual students. this was administration’s choice, they decided to reopen schools. they are the sole people to blame for the ensuing deaths.

Many understand this, but dont say it

We can’t build the mvmnt we need w/o fighting racism-which props up capitalism- as we go

we must answer racist attacks with rebellion while building orgs&mvmnt that can grow and make a larger change to the economy&the distribution of power

Among Drake’s core values is a supposed commitment to mission stating, “We are united in service to students and our communities,” however, when faced with a number of students that couldn’t pay rent Drake decided that they would rather sue students for rent money.

[Drake Comrades @DrakeComrades]

When “accommodations” are only offering one months rent off and the forfeiture of security deposit equal to one month’s rent are they truly accommodations?
