    It’s crazy the stranglehold oil has on our country. Genocide or not the oil must flow. It’s ridiculous.

    the college determined that their employee of nine years had violated its equal opportunity and nondiscrimination policies

    And thus they had to discriminate on her based on her political views and ethical consideration of a minority group that has been brutalized nonstop by an Apartheid state for 75 fucking years 🤬

    Typical intercept opinion piece - one sided with self-contradictory citations. For example - claiming that the only complaint was based on an Instagram story that way posted after the professor was informed of the complaint. It’s like they started from the headline and just wrote whatever supported that conclusion.

    I honestly wish I hadn’t wasted my time reading this
