Trump has just hit his lowest ever popularity rating amoung self-identified republicans. At 80% approval. EIGHTY PERCENT of republicans approve of him.

Meanwhile, 5% of democrats also approve of him.

I find these numbers really alarming.

This #comic about Black #Socialism in the #US is really cool: https://medium.com/the-nib/black-and-red-870372fa5d23

capitalists: it's up to consumers to make sure they're not buying goods that damage workers or the environment.
me: [spending ages looking up corporate supply chains] Can't there just be laws?

But what's perhaps most galling is that we're being told that unis must allow speech from famous people that implicitly encourages violence against some members of the community while AT THE SAME TIME demanding staff report radical students to PREVENT.

Pro-violence speech is thus acceptable based on how powerful the speaker is and how vulnerable the victim is. It's 100% ok to come on campus and try to get people hurt as long as you have the right profile and pick the right victims.

(A better gesture for schools would, of course, to just have a list of items that are allowed within the uniform and allow students to mix and match as they please.)
