If you're mad at centrist dems for caving on the government shutdown, here's another thing to yell at them for! Senators like Durbin, Klobucher, Blumenthal, and Schumer are bizarrely supporting fascist bills like KOSA, STOP CSAM, and privacy invasive Age Verification. Call them and tell them why that's bad!

AGF: RES-IST [for Dareen Tatour] bass pulse version #freespeech #freequ 2018

Today in Labor History November 10, 1898: White supremacists launched a coup d’etat in Wilmington, North Carolina. The Wilmington Insurrection of 1898 is the only instance of a municipal government being overthrown in U.S. history. The local white press declared it a race riot, caused by blacks, but it was actually a coup by members of the state's Democratic party, who conspired and led a mob of 2,000 white men to overthrow the legitimately elected biracial government. They deported opposition black and white political leaders from the city and may have killed over 300 people. They destroyed black property and businesses, including the only black newspaper in the city. And they got away with it, too. Charles Aycock, one of the main organizers, went on to become governor of North Carolina. Rebecca Felton, a feminist who supported equal pay for women and the lynching of black residents, went on to become the nation’s first female senator. Numerous other coup leaders and supporters went on to hold state and federal offices.

"I would like to announce that I have come to a settlement to leave Radboud, and will take up a new position at another university.
For the last 10 months, Radboud has monitored my private X account and pressured me to alter my statements regarding the ongoing genocide on Palestinians. I have been called into meetings, asked to defend myself in written statements, received a warning, told to delete posts, and threatened with dismissal. Various posts have been flagged: these include ‘swearing in public’ (after | posted ‘fuck ‘israel”), calling politicians who support the Gaza holocaust ‘rabid genocidaires’, saying ‘israel’ should not exist as a state, comparing Zionism and Nazism, inciting protest against Zionist speakers on campus, and expressing satisfaction at the death of IDF soldiers terrorizing Palestinians in Gaza. I have also been told that academics must condemn
all violence, and even distance themselves from those who experience positive
emotions about it.
The university argued that my posts violate the code of conduct. However, I
disagreed. Despite my repeated requests, it never implemented a proper process to assess this. Instead, it used vague terms like ‘being a good role model), ‘embarrassing the university’, ‘shutting down debate’, or ‘inciting (emotions around) hate and violence’, without any proof or elaboration. I have always received overwhelmingly positive student evaluations in my teaching [...]

"It is self-evident that the university’s actions infringe upon my right as an academic, and as an individual, to free speech. It is especially absurd that, as Palestinians are being murdered every single day, a university decides to focus on repressing speech against it, and it once again showcases the Palestine exception when it comes to speech. It is both our legal right, and moral duty, to call for the Zionist project to come to its end, and support Palestinian armed resistance against it.
Following the news that I secured an ERC Starting Grant in the summer, I began
looking for opportunities to move to a more supportive environment, which
facilitates its academics to speak out against Zionism, and which provides a
stimulating place to carry out my project. I secured an offer, which I am very excited to take up next year. After Radboud recently gave me an ultimatum to either change my expressions or face dismissal, I decided to negotiate a settlement to leave, and donate the money to causes that further Palestinian liberation.
We cannot normalize the growing repression of Palestine solidarity. For the last two years, universities across the West have used informal intimidation and punitive sanctions, alongside police violence, to instill fear among academics and students.
The Zionist lobby also has a long history of destroying people who dare stand up to the settler colonial project. [...]](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/525/258/042/673/175/original/6c1b3cf3df648460.png)

Lets Discuss Moderation, Misinformation, Censorship and Freedom of Speech
People are free to speak not because it is useful, but because they are free to make sounds with their mouths. People are free to write not because it is useful, but because they are free to move their hands around, or use tools, some of which make lines on pieces of paper.

Reminder: "Child Safety" is being dishonestly used by groups like the Heritage Foundation to eradicate anything and everything they find distasteful (LGBTQ+ community, mental health, reproductive health, dissent against them, adult content, etc.).
So if you believe things like Age Verification, the Kids Online Safety Act, the STOP CSAM Act, S-209 (Canada), etc. are to protect children, you are sorely mistaken.
