    This is the recent election in a nutshell: Choose between the party that thinks about deporting you, and the party that wants to imprison you.

    Remember, when you scare people, their reaction is one of the three F’s: Fight, flight, or freeze. It’s impossible (for most of us) to flee, and Democrats won’t fight, so…

    when universities become nothing but businesses with shady figures behind the scenes i guess you get actions as crushingly capitalist youd get from a corporation. i hope for the students sake they lose this stupid case.
