Shoutout to all of those brave students defending the encampment!! Remember kids, activism at VT pays homage to rich tradition and rarely, if ever, has history absolved the University. Drop the bail fund! Successful Alumni (me) are ready to cough up the cash.
When I got into Stanford the first time, my high school classmates told me it was because I was brown to my face in our calculus class. But they didn’t take into account that I begged my mom for an old SAT blue book at a thrift store - that was my test prep. (1/4)
Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.
After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

‼️who had business before the court
‼️and kept that info from the public
‼️now they are refusing to comply with a Congressional inquiry about it
The Court is de-legitimizing *themselves.*

Well, the mask is off, if it was ever really on. As I predicted, the TikTok ban has evolved into blatant censorship of the internet. Let's talk about it. Big rant incoming, but if you enjoy continuing to have even some semblance of personal freedom, you're gonna wanna listen

🚨 EMERGENCY: The white woman on the left with the pink hair at a Black Lives Matter protest is an UNDERCOVER POLICE OFFICER from Colorado Springs named April Rogers.
With the help of the FBI, she created a fake identity named Chelsie, and pretended to be a sex worker that was disturbed by police brutality. It was all a lie.
Once she infiltrated local groups in Colorado, she started trying to get peaceful Black leaders to commit a slew of gun crimes. Which they thankfully refused. Over and over again she tried to get people to break the law.
This right here is what we are up against. She's still employed by the Colorado Springs Police.
@alphabetboys.pod did the hard work to uncover this. Grateful for the team there.
