Like, are they black bloc? No. Are they daily, incrementally shaping gen alpha’s worldview? Yes. Let them march with punny signs.

Also, not for nothing, I’m in that demographic (minus the wine), and those women are the ones explaining what Gaza is to 5-yos, and emailing the school about curriculum, and explaining that it isn’t “weird” to like seaweed, and that it’s fine for atheists to play on the CYO basketball team…

I find it interesting that everybody assumes every woman over the age of about 30 they see a picture of on a protest is a liberal winemom or whatever.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Anyway I talked to nuns, and elderly people in wheelchairs, two professors, some teens, a whole bunch of folks from the SEIU, and other parents, and a fellow redhead with the same protest getup as me.

Ended up at a local protest today rather than the main one, and while I missed the energy of being downtown, it was a lot easier to actually connect with people at a smaller event.

Yes! (Massachusetts, IIRC we learned it in 4th grade as part of a pretty in-depth unit on the pilgrims/Puritans and the Wampanoag)

If you believe, deep down, that you’re moments away from Success (and possibly that if you are Believing All The Right Things it will come to you as a matter of theological justice), you are willing to overlook the fact that what you’re voting for isn’t actually all that good for you in the moment.
