Let me tell you something: if you're demanding that Hillel be fully removed from UC Santa Cruz, you're an antisemite.
Hillel is a cultural lifeline for Jewish students.
If you want it gone - that means you want Jews gone.
There's no negotiating on the antisemitic nature of this demand.
Also, I am intentionally not mentioning other demands because I think it's important to focus solely on Hillel here, as the demand is so plainly antisemitic there isn't even room for a nuanced discussion.
Depression is also getting up & going to work everyday, keeping up with yourself, laughing, putting on makeup, going out with your friends. Functional depression is also very real.
Wheelchair users have been trying for ages to raise awareness about their wheelchairs being broken so often when they fly, and the devastating impact this has on them.
@AmericanAir baggage handlers decided to give a demonstration of how much they enjoy breaking them 😡
🚨🚨🚨OUTRAGEOUS! An Oklahoma Woman with with a non-viable pregnancy says the hospital told her to sit in the parking lot “until you bleed out.”
Jaci Statton, 25, was sick and bleeding from her partial molar pregnancy but the Oklahoma abortion ban prevented doctors from performing any procedure to help her remove the life threatening tissue.
"Oklahoma has three abortion bans in effect, and each of them has different language in describing the medical exceptions," says Rabia Muqaddam, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights. "It's resulted in extreme confusion about what constitutes a sufficient health condition for a doctor to provide a medically necessary abortion."
"A team of doctors and specialists came in and told us, 'There's nothing that we can do according to Oklahoma law. We can't even really touch you,'" Jaci recalls.
Jaci’s story is like potentially thousands like her. Women’s freedom isn’t just about choices, it’s literally about life and death.
If you are or have a wife, daughter, mother, or friend, we need to think about women’s freedom on a personal level. Their lives could be next.

The ages and backgrounds of each and every one of those shooters differs.
But two things do not -
Innocent people were murdered going about their daily lives, and an AR-15 or a version of an AR-15 was used to murder them.
How the hell is banning them even UP for debate?
Cried so much this year, I really hope I’m much happier next year. It’s one of the things I’m praying for. A joy that stays. A joy that is not easily shaken.
I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…
Clean air. They ruled against clean air. This means more respiratory illness. More cancer. More climate-fueled disasters. All because 6 people are owned by polluters. This Court is not legitimate and we don't have to pretend there is no recourse.
So child support will start at conception right? Social security numbers will be assigned? Women can claim fetuses as dependents on their taxes?
Right?
