UNC Faculty--ICE actions in the Triangle have terrified many of our students and their families. I posted these signs on outside doors of my building and am re-posting as they are removed. JOIN ME! They match what administrators told us to they shouldn't complain

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

This piece by @rtraister.bsky.social is like an antidote to snake venom. Read it and it will save your life. The backlash to “me too” was never about moderation it was about submission. Feminism has not gone too far. The world of men simply moves at the pace of a glacier from its Neanderthal past.
“There are no clean demarcations between feminism and its backlash and the backlash to the backlash, between progress and regress. It was always fanciful to conceive of progressive victories as permanent, just as it was a shortsighted fantasy that edgelord heterodoxy would remain cool.”
Me Too Forever
Why the backlash was so short-lived.

American households are struggling as grocery costs remain high, up 37% since 2017, with a typical family of four now spending over $1,030/month. Food prices outpaced inflation and wage growth, pushing millions of Americans into food insecurity. This is a crisis we can’t ignore.
