when the UM president’s statement abt the football coach’s suspension has more emotion & empathy than his statement on Israel’s genocide in Gaza:
Countless members of the University of Michigan family have reached out to me over the weekend and I wanted to express my appreciation. Like any community, we face our share of challenges and adversity. There have been many such moments in our history. But as our team showed so clearly yesterday, we will respond to any challenge head on with a conviction to do better and to emerge even stronger. Go Blue! 〽️

BREAKING: 2,500 grad workers & supporters walk away from $24K at the rally and march this morning. Our strike is LIVE!

@UMich is asking you to add to their $17 billion endowment while grad students struggle to pay rent. UM doesn't use this money to support its students & that's why we're fighting for a living wage!
Support grads instead by donating to our strike fund: givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund
ALT Graphic. GEO logo and the words "STRIKE FUND" superimposed on happy grad students marching with signs and banners.
It's #GivingBlueday, Wolverines!

A whistleblower at ICE today exposed that mass hysterectomies are being performed on detained immigrants. If it sounds like a horror show, that's because it is. Gender oppression has a direct correlation with authoritarianism. This is beyond. The vicious cruelty is staggering.

You want to know what defunding the police means? It means that Wendy’s could have called a tow truck instead of 911 and #RayshardBrooks would be alive tonight.

4️⃣7️⃣5️⃣ East Meadow, NY: a police officer abruptly stops walking so a protestor walking behind him will bump into him, so the other police can attack and arrest him
At least 3 officers pin him down, with one keeping a knee on his neck

This man started an account where he tweets exactly what the president tweets. He just got suspended.
Experiment Update - Well it finally happened. Took longer than expected. 12 hour suspension and had to delete the offending tweet. Here’s the screenshots @suspendthepres. Will post to the account when suspension is lifted.

This is why #BlackBirdersWeek is NECESSARY.
