Learned it was pro-Palestinian Jewish group #IfNotNow.

The police have got the 405 running again, but good on them for standing up against genocide

Free Palestine

Protesters blocking Southbound 405 a little past National. Don't know who they're affiliated with, I just heard honking out the window

Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

“i’d never be dumb enough to join a cult” bitch you’re literally in grad school

Gorsuch says people (public-facing business owners) shouldn't be forced to "go against their conscience", but racists and sexists are forced to serve minorities and women. Why is it okay for "speech" to be compelled for them but not for LGBTQ+ people?

SCOTUS says fuck your pride

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday siding with a web designer opposed to same-sex marriage was “profoundly wrong.” In a scathing dissent, Sotomayor said the ruling will “mark gays and lesbians for second-class status.” https://t.co/jJFmAdb9RX

It's really sad the DoE needed to do this in anticipation of SCOTUS rulings this week.

NEW: University of California grad student workers have launched the largest academic strike in U.S. history.

Workers tell us they can’t afford to eat, pay rent, or have kids.

The university has an endowment worth nearly $30 billion.

@adrianamorgao Listening through the space again answering my questions in case anyone sees this:

1. Yes. $10000 is per borrower, not per student

2. Unsure

3. If you filed FAFSA (or income based repayment plan) w/ 2020 or 2021 tax info your income is on file & forgiveness should be automatic

[Joseph Murphy @soc4murph]

@adrianamorgao Three questions:

1. If you had loans and your parents had plus loans do you both get $10000 forgiveness?

2. Are Perkins loans covered under the loan forgiveness?

3. If you filed the FAFSA this year, does the DoE have your income on file and will receive automatic forgiveness?

SCOTUS is really setting the lay up for another insurrection.

I got "You are Jane Addams!" on "What's your epistemology?". What about you? https://t.co/iBx5uFSo5A

Just heard I passed my second field exam! I theoretically know enough about social stratification and education to contribute to the literature now!

[Joseph Murphy @soc4murph]

@shivarouhani I remember talking about this in theory! Good luck with the field exam

[Joseph Murphy @soc4murph]

My thesis was accepted!

[B.R. Cohen @brcohen95]

I cancelled class to make this.

I just heard back from the Ford Foundation: I didn't get the pre-doctoral fellowship, but I did get an honorable mention!

It's nice to have external validation for your research. It definitely makes me feel more motivated to slog through this MA. Here's hoping for future success

This is, to the best of my financial knowledge, what's happening with #wallstreetbets and #gamestonk and how everyone in general is taking it
