@ATTHelp I am paying $166/month and regardless of where I am (city, country, inside, outside, etc. ) my phone doesn’t get reception. The wifi calling never works anymore. I tried calling AT&T and I just get routed to all the wrong departments. This is absurd.

@notcapnamerica While this lawsuit is dangerous, it’s important to simultaneously recognize how White supremacy and antiblackness are also entrenched by the myth of the “model minority” and tried and true “divide and conquer” strategies evident in many rhetorical responses to this.

@komonews This answer isn’t to the question posted for today.

Among Muhammad Ali’s lesser known activism was his outspoken support for the Palestinian cause. In 1974—three years after his draft dodging conviction was overturned—Ali visited Beirut during a tour of the Middle East, where he declared that the “United States is the stronghold of Zionism and imperialism.” 
The details of Ali’s trip were chronologized in an article for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency titled “Ali Belts Zionism.” 

The article notes:

Muhammad Ali, who says he is retiring from the ring to spread the faith of Islam, is losing no time throwing right hooks at Zionism. He told a press conference in Beirut, at the start of a tour of the Middle East, that “the United States is the stronghold of Zionism and imperialism.”

On a visit later to two Palestinian refugee camps in southern Lebanon, the former heavy-weight boxing champion was quoted by a guerrilla news agency as saying: “In my name and the name of all Muslims in America, I declare support for the Palestinian struggle to liberate their homeland and oust the Zionist invaders.” 

During the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon in 1985, Muhammad Ali traveled to Israel in an attempt to negotiate the release of approximately 700 Shiite Muslim prisoners who had been transferred to the Atlit detention camp in Israel. Ali told the pressthat he was there “to arrange for the freeing of the Muslim brothers imprisoned by Israel” and that he would be discussing the release of “all 700 brothers” with the “very highest level in the country.”
While Israel declined Ali’s offer, he met with several Israeli officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Ronnie Milo, a member of the right-wing Likud party that is currently chaired by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

As CSU faculty receive threats from admin saying it is a misuse of public funds to strike for fair, equitable, living wages, more mental health care counselors for students, and inclusive facilities, let’s be real about how much admin is paid. Let’s start at the top:

So many university academics who insist upon doing performative, virtue signaling “land acknowledgements” at every public event are eerily silent as real liberation struggles are happening. Guess decolonization really is a metaphor for some folk…

@TeamRepAI @paulcampillo Makes sense.

@paulcampillo i am feeling that for me, as well

@paulcampillo what I mean by this comment is that we are also all very dynamic as people on the planet.
