Daily Wire CEO Tells White Supremacist Nick Fuentes He’s ‘Talented’ And ‘Very Funny’
From the beginning of the month…but not the 1st.
During a livestreamed conversation with white supremacist Nick Fuentes last week, the CEO of the Daily Wire, a major right-wing media outlet, praised the prominent fascist influencer and offered only mild criticism about some of his political views — a stark difference from how he has spoken about Fuentes in the past.
On March 25, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing joined Fuentes on X Spaces (formerly Twitter Spaces), a live audio chat room. Boreing told Fuentes he listens to Fuentes’ show “quite often” and that he thinks Fuentes is “very funny” and one of the “most talented” political influencers, even if he is “very concerned” about some of what Fuentes says.
Cutting to the chase: the reactionaries want to win and making space for fascists is a step in that direction. There are no red lines to the right, just this kind of appease-the-baby euphemistic “concern.”
The right has a very straightforward common cause: there is a hierarchy and that is good, and the more important fight is against all forms of equality. They’ll go after the center right the same way…by pointing to an uncomfortable form of equality—trans rights, the idea that civilian Palestinians are not an acceptable loss to “beat” Hamas—and playing into something more sinister…directly dangerous. The scripts are pretty easy to imagine because we’re seen them play out already in the 00s.
Much like some Germans back in the day, all the players imagine that once power is secured they’re clever enough to implement their particular pecking order, cutting out the other visions of caste. We as a democracy lose regardless of which group wins.
re: #1 The Ghost of a Flea
Along the lines of your concerns, today Yale uploaded a video in which the main presenter is one David Austin Walsh, and his book is Taking America Back: The Conservative Movement and the Far Right .
I’ve started the video after all the introductory fluff:
..
He makes the point that the “respectful Conservatism” of William F. Buckley still included the elements that we find so troubling today.
That is, even after Buckley tried to throw out the kooks, what remained inevitably is tied to what Donald Trump has brought to the fore.
Plato’s final hours recounted in scroll found in Vesuvius ash
Newly deciphered passages outline Greek philosopher’s burial place and describe critique of slave musician
Newly deciphered passages from a papyrus scroll that was buried beneath layers of volcanic ash after the AD79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius may have shed light on the final hours of Plato, a key figure in the history of western philosophy.
In a groundbreaking discovery, the ancient scroll was found to contain a previously unknown narrative detailing how the Greek philosopher spent his last evening, describing how he listened to music played on a flute by a Thracian slave girl.
Despite battling a fever and being on the brink of death, Plato - who was known as a disciple of Socrates and a mentor to Aristotle, and who died in Athens around 348BC - retained enough lucidity to critique the musician for her lack of rhythm, the account suggests.
The decoded words also suggest Plato’s burial site was in his designated garden in the Academy of Athens, the world’s first university, which he founded, adjacent to the Mouseion. Previously, it was only known in general terms that he was buried within the academy.
In a presentation of the research findings at the National Library of Naples, Prof Graziano Ranocchia, of the University of Pisa, who spearheaded the team responsible for unearthing the carbonised scroll, described the discovery as an “extraordinary outcome that enriches our understanding of ancient history”.
He said: “Thanks to the most advanced imaging diagnostic techniques, we are finally able to read and decipher new sections of texts that previously seemed inaccessible.”

If conservatism is understood as the effort to preserve privileges of a in-group, then this is inevitable. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition…” etc.
To flesh this out a bit more, as soon as conservatism evolves past a mindless resistance to change in all its forms, that evolution is actually a degeneration, since the resulting ideology is (in a modern setting) necessarily a fascist reaction vs. democracy.
An example of this was made clear in the marriage cases — the least offensive arguments the opponents of marriage equality made in court were mindless tradition arguments. All positive arguments for marriage inequality were more or less inherently offensive.
Gore Vidal was 100% correct when he referred to Buckley as a crypto-fascist. These days, of course, there is no crypto-fascism on the right, because there is no crypto- about it any more.
Buckley et. al “throwing out the kooks” was always much more about PR than about the substance. E.g., Birchers have been writing WSJ op-eds for decades.

Yes, but American conservatism isn’t supposed to be about preserving privileges of an in group. It’s supposed to be about preserving institutions while implementing gradual change for the better. The institution in this case is the constitution and the branches of government described therein. Republicans don’t practice conservatism. At best they’re populists. Their power structure is built around enabling poor white trash and their revival tent religion to literally take over the people’s house and to shit on its floor. This strain goes all the way back to Andrew Jackson, though he certainly didn’t invent it.

They’re more reactionary than conservative. The latter can be quite “go slow”, but the current American version is trying very very hard to role back a century or more of progressive laws and protections.

Why doesn’t Columbia stop the protests? Because they don’t want to.
Dozens of anti-Israel protesters broke into an academic building at Columbia University and took it over early Tuesday morning - hours after the school began suspending students who refused to vacate their encampment.
Footage posted on social media shows numerous protesters milling about inside Hamilton Hall with some placing wooden chairs and tables in front of the doors to block others from entering shortly before 1 a.m.
Another shocking video shows a hammer-wielding demonstrator inside the building smash two windows of an exterior door and place what appears to be a bike lock around the door’s handles.

What a childish and immature viewpoint. If you only behave due to fear of punishment from SkyDaddy then you’re essentially evil and only behaving due to fear of punishment.
Being moral because it’s right to act for the benefit of others and society is a much better approach. And it doesn’t require a deity either.

They also assume that we are all by nature immoral and evil, and unless we are busy working hard (for work’s sake alone) and praying hard, then there is nothing to distract us from following our demonic drives to spend all our time just a-drinkin’, gamblin’ fightin’, whorin’ and generall hellraisin’ etc.
Which is why we must maintain a strict moral corset around society to keep ourselves and each other in line.
49 years ago today, Saigon fell.
22 years ago today, my ex and I had dinner with a Vietnamese family. While in HCM city, staying in the the Saigon district, we met a young college aged woman who invited us to dinner with her and her father. He was a communist official by day and a landlord by night. She was studying to be a hotel manager. On the wall, in the ancestor shrine, the photo of grandma was in her uniform as a member of the National Liberation Front. It was never stated explicitly but I believed she was killed during the American War, as they refer to it.
They were thrilled we were there to adopt a Vietnamese boy, we were very honored guests and everyone I spoke with considered it a good thing that I had served the US, even if long after that time.
A few days later we toured the Presidential palace and I remember seeing where the helicopters took off with the last evacuations…
This has always a strange day to me since that evening.

Progressive dropping 100,000 home insurance policies in Florida
In the middle of what’s being called a “property insurance crisis” in Florida, several local homeowners said their policies are being dropped by Progressive, one of the biggest property insurance companies in the country.
Progressive Insurance is sending out more than 100,000 non-renewal notices to homeowners saying they are “rebalancing their exposure” in the Sunshine State, according to News 6 sister station News4Jax.
The Progressive property insurance shakeup primarily impacts what’s called DP3 Home insurance policies, which according to insurance experts, are homes that have older roofs or specific policies covering investment properties.
A total of 53,000 homes affected are in high-risk areas, and the remaining 47,000 are seasonal homes.
Insiders wrote News4JAX about what they are experiencing in the non-renewal process.
“After raising my rates dramatically last year, they now have dropped me. I have been moved to a new company, but I have not yet received my new quote,” Gary wrote.
Matt Carlucci Jr., owner of Brightway Insurance, said Progressive customers should be on the lookout for potential non-renewal notices.
“So if you are a Progressive customer for homeowners’ insurance, you know, you need to keep an eye on your mailbox. And if you happen to have signed up for paperless, you may not get a notice in the mail, it may come to your email. So watch your email in your mailbox like a hawk,” Carlucci said.
Carlucci, who has more than a dozen years in the insurance industry, said it’s critical that homeowners respond promptly to Progressive so they can reap the potential benefits of the non-renewals.
Just wait folks! More to come…

Because “Free Market” and “Level Playing Field” mean that you, as an individual homeowner with limited assets and income are expected to negotiate one-one-one for terms of insurance coverage with a multi-million-dollar corporation.
Ditto goes for terms of employment or financial services.

Trump can’t stand animals, let alone puppies.

She killed a goat and a couple of horses too.
What else has she killed? It’s a gateway crime to other sociopathy, and she’d be more than happy to kill for Trump too. That’s where this ends.

even harder to do with an insurance company that doesnt do business in the state at all
the number of companies that write policies at all in florida is very limited

to a relatively new company i never heard of and have zero confidence in they will ever pay claim or survive long term
- they dont have good hands
- they arent on our side
- they arent standing with us
- i dont think they know a lot because they’re not old enough to have seen a lot
etc
oh, and it came with a mandatory 20% rate hike

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has executed search warrants on Google and X and obtained hundreds of files related to the state’s probe into the effort to subvert the 2020 election, according to a new report. Among them, a message from one Republican writer requesting he be spared from Trump’s “conspiracy theories.”
The search warrants came after CNN uncovered secret social media accounts belonging to pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro.
Prosecutors now have access to Chesebro’s email and private direct messages on X, formerly known as Twitter, according to CNN. Nine months ago, the state’s fake electors were charged with forgery and other crimes for signing certificates that falsely claimed former President Donald Trump won the state in the 2020 election.
Trump is reportedly an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.
“Michigan is among a number of states to investigate fake electors schemes,” the report states. “Just last week, Arizona prosecutors filed criminal charges against the pro-Trump electors there and allies of the former president who were involved in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.”

Matthew Russell Lee (@innercitypress) is reporting that Trump was pissed/upset with lead lawyer Blanche’s lackluster cross exams of witnesses last week. Who will do his cross examinations this week? Stay tuned.
Mind you, defense lawyers need to undermine the case in chief, and don’t have to actually prove anything. All they have to do is introduce reasonable doubt, but if you get into more aggressive questioning (or lines of questions), you have to worry that you cross the line and open the door for prosecutors to rebut with still more evidence, witnesses, or other bad conduct by Trump.

Florida’s insurance industry is a mess, particularly after the latest round of hurricanes and the high costs of insuring for the damages caused by those events. They’re trying to curtail their exposure, and the way they’re doing it is by saying - if you have X going on with your house, you either need to spend for a new roof system, or we’re dropping you (and good fucking luck finding another insurer who will help you given that insurers are fleeing the state in droves).

Stuart Stevens defined American conservatism properly: It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump This is what conservatism always turns out to be; the myth was preserving institutions — they never were. It was always about power for the white male Christian elites.
At one time the GOP wasn’t a solidly conservative organization, but it became so after Nixon saw that racism was the path to power.

But I buried the lede - because Merchan throws down the gauntlet by saying that the fine is insufficient especially where the defendant has wealth, but he’s limited to the $1,000 fine (he can’t exceed it under state law). However, he indicates further violations can and will result in jail, which is permitted under state law.

Trump’s found in contempt of court on 9 of 10 charges by prosecutors. Fined $1000 per charge, and ordered to take them down by 2:15pm today.

re: #65 lawhawk
Matthew Russell Lee (@innercitypress) is reporting that Trump was pissed/upset with lead lawyer Blanche’s lackluster cross exams of witnesses last week. Who will do his cross examinations this week? Stay tuned.
Mind you, defense lawyers need to undermine the case in chief, and don’t have to actually prove anything. All they have to do is introduce reasonable doubt, but if you get into more aggressive questioning (or lines of questions), you have to worry that you cross the line and open the door for prosecutors to rebut with still more evidence, witnesses, or other bad conduct by Trump.
This is what happens when your client “thinks” he’s got enough understanding of legal theory from watching years of courtroom dramas that he can direct the legal team himself. Beating up on witnesses does not get them to make surprise “confessions,” nor can you suddenly introduce evidence that the prosecution was not aware of to catch them in a bind.

And the judge will…impose more fines and little else because he doesn’t want his home firebombed.

Bail is predicated on not committing crimes elsewhere.
Contempt of court is a crime.
He should be hauled into those other courts to address why they shouldn’t revoke bail, although I suspect they’ll soft walk this and demand papers why the court shouldn’t revoke or modify bail further.
Trump shows a catastrophically awful regard for the rule of law and refuses to abide by the law. He continues to act above the law and any effort to hold him accountable as any other defendant is treated as abhorrent violation of his rights, which is just bulkshit. He’s gotten more chances than any other person in his situation, and he’s out on bail when anyone who was indicted on theft/mishandling of classified documents would be in jail pending trial.

re: #102 lawhawk
Georgia courts are unlikely to modify/revoke bail, even though they should in this case.
In Florida, his bond indicates he cannot violate any federal, state, or other local law. Contempt is a violation of state law. He’s required to report to the probation officer within 72 hours of the conduct. The bail also sets out the additional penalties for bail violations, including loss of the costs of the bail and additional felony charges levied against Trump. It’s Loose Cannon, so we know where she ends.
We’ve got similar conditions in the DC case though, and Judge Chutkan will take this seriously.

49 years ago today, Saigon fell.
22 years ago today, my ex and I had dinner with a Vietnamese family. While in HCM city, staying in the the Saigon district, we met a young college aged woman who invited us to dinner with her and her father. He was a communist official by day and a landlord by night. She was studying to be a hotel manager. On the wall, in the ancestor shrine, the photo of grandma was in her uniform as a member of the National Liberation Front. It was never stated explicitly but I believed she was killed during the American War, as they refer to it.
They were thrilled we were there to adopt a Vietnamese boy, we were very honored guests and everyone I spoke with considered it a good thing that I had served the US, even if long after that time.
A few days later we toured the Presidential palace and I remember seeing where the helicopters took off with the last evacuations…

Fantasizing about this stuff isn’t evil, anymore than watching with a smile while John Wick executes a city full of assassins is evil. Actions can be evil. Thoughts, no.

Hikikomori Syndrome Is Rapidly On The Rise, With People Not Leaving Their Homes For At Least Six Months
Across Japan, approximately 1.5 million people live as recluses, withdrawing themselves from the outside world.
Some even refuse to step foot outside of their homes. These people are known to have Hikikomori syndrome.
The cultural syndrome is spreading rapidly, with the use of social media exacerbating the country’s loneliness problems.
Research has shown that the Covid-19 pandemic has also been a significant contributor to this type of lifestyle.
Hikikomori is defined as an extreme form of social isolation that can be influenced by several factors, such as psychiatric conditions, societal pressures, negative peer experiences, poor family dynamics, maladaptive personality traits, and excessive internet use.

A state Senator got so emotional over her father’s ashes that she became a burglar, wrecking her career.
Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell removed from committees, caucus meetings amid burglary investigations
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Embattled Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell will be removed from her committee assignments and caucus meetings while burglary allegations against her play out in both a Senate and legal investigation, the Senate majority leader announced Sunday.
“This is a tragic situation, and there are still questions that need to be answered,” Sen. Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, said. “The legal investigation is ongoing, and last week, we referred her case to the Senate Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct. While the case is under review both in the Senate and in the courts, Senator Mitchell will be relieved of her committee assignments and removed from caucus meetings.”
On Monday, Mitchell proved to be the deciding vote in her own defense, defeating a GOP-led effort to strip her of her voting powers.
“We have a fundamental value at stake, that people of every Senate district are entitled to be represented,” Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis) said during the hours-long debate.
Mitchell, a Democrat who represents part of the eastern Twin Cities, was charged with burglary last week. She was found dressed in all black in the basement of her stepmother’s home in Detroit Lakes, according to a criminal complaint. Authorities allege she confessed to breaking into the home to retrieve her father’s ashes and other sentimental items after her stepmother stopped speaking to her. On social media, Mitchell denied the allegations, saying she was at the house to check on a family member with Alzheimer’s.

The Trump checklist so far this week alone:
1. Trump taking over the Fed.
2. Concentration camps on US soil.
3. Deployment of US Military in US areas for population control
4. At-will Federal Prosecutions targeting members of the press, enemy politicians, rival businessmen and “liberal” organizations.
5. Total Abortion ban nationwide. Enforced monitoring of women suspect of being pregnant. Bounty hunters for runaway pregnant women.
6. Pardoning violent criminals loyal to himself. Forming an American militia loyal to him and tasked to report and even arrest or assault any anti-Trump behavior or rhetoric. Violence will have a blanket Pardon.
7. Strong-arming current allies and any other country to enrich Trump business in order to apply for American Military protection.
Upcoming greatest hits:
1. Takeover of IRS for specific targeting of Trump personal enemies, groups and non-compliant companies.
2. Price controls of grocery store items at Trump’s whim a la Venezuela to alleviate rampant inflation and bare shelves as a result of his own Fed policies.
3. Ordering corporate product production with specific price controls and features for populist items like inexpensive pickup trucks.
4. possible rollback of Gun Rights (with roaring MAGA approval) to only those who pay into Trump’s own MAGA political machine “card-carrying member”.
5. Suspension of all Amendments and line-item Veto of the Constitution itself.
6. Pack the Supreme Court to 15 members stacked with 40- year olds.
7. For the few remaining “blue state” governors who refuse to comply (most will cave quickly) armed occupation of the capitols and arrest of state leadership. US Military deployed on public streets.
Extreme? Yeah—-right. Look where we are now compared to just 20 years ago. We have a solid 35% of the country openly hoping for a dictatorship- a 35% who holds the vast majority of actual current political and economic power.

FDA Launches Health Care at Home Initiative to Help Advance Health Equity
Happy to see this though I wonder if we’re too often enamored by fancy technology. I’ve seen several studies over the years where just periodic contact with heart failure patients is nearly or as effective at keeping heart failure patients out of the hospital as home-based and/or implanted monitoring systems are.
It’s very effective having someone call a patient one a week or twice a month to ask simple questions like “Mr. Dat, how are you feeling? Tired? Gained any weight? Any puffiness in the feet or hands recently? Are you taking your medications? Why not? Have you done much walking or exercising? Any questions for me, or anything you want to add? Great - nice talking with you Mr. Dat - looking forward to talking to you next week.”
No one wants to reimburse for phone calls. So, I guess, Home as a Health Care Hub is a solution (maybe they’ll include phone calls).

Two men have been charged over the felling of the famous Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland last September.
Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, have been charged with causing criminal damage to the tree and Hadrian’s Wall, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Both are due to appear at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on 15 May 2024.
There was a national outcry in September when the much-loved, 200-year-old Northumberland tree was found to have been cut down.
Northumberland National Park (NNP) said it had received 2,000 “heartfelt” messages from people from all around the world expressing sorrow and that it had been inundated with offers of help.
Celebrity chefs the Hairy Bikers were among those to share their outrage at the axing of the tree. Si King, one half of the duo, said the culprit had “murdered” the “spirit” of Northumberland in comments that underlined the strength of feeling about the tree.

Why SBF is turning against A-list FTX boosters like Tom Brady and Larry David—and what could happen to themSafely locked away for the next quarter of a century—barring the result of an appeal, or an early release for good behavior—Sam Bankman-Fried is spending at least some of that time trying to throw his former celebrity business partners under the bus.
The former FTX CEO has agreed to lend his support to a class-action lawsuit, filed by a group of FTX investors in November 2022, against a handful of celebrities, including Larry David, Tom Brady, Shaquille O’Neal, the Golden State Warriors, and Naomi Osaka, who endorsed the crypto exchange.
If approved by a judge, Bankman-Fried will be freed from paying any penalties in this lawsuit, and the plaintiffs will drop any civil action against him in the future, according to the settlement, filed April 19 in federal court in Miami. In exchange, he will assist the plaintiffs’ lawyers in pursuing the remaining FTX endorsers, providing testimony and private documents.
But amid the litany of dismissed class-action lawsuits, including those against Kim Kardashian and Floyd Mayweather Jr. for promoting EMax tokens, could the celebrities actually be forced to pay up?
“It’s certainly possible,” Rebecca Tushnet, a Harvard professor whose expertise includes copyright, trademark, and false advertising law, told Fortune. “It does make sense that they should have some level of responsibility.”
re: #179 Randall Gross
Yeah, those kinds of people are annoying. IMHO If you massacre 10 women, children, or civilian men because you don’t want them to have children then it’s still genocide, it doesn’t come in proportions.
Yep. Provided the elements of the crime are there, under international law, even 1 victim is enough.

If she can kill a puppy, she can kill a democracy.
Meanwhile, GOPers in WA basically say they’re anti-democracy, and want to get rid of democracy and direct elections. They want more power in the hands of the elites, and will stop at nothing to deprive rights of others to keep power aggregated in the hands of a few.
The entire GOP — especially those supporting Trump or voting for him — want to kill democracy. They were all (even the “good” Republicans) against expanding voting rights, but the non-MAGAts are against tinkering with the Constitution.

The Israeli government was very supportive of the apartheid South African government including, it is rumoured, providing them with help in building their nuclear weapons programme and even testing a device for them (the so-called Vela incident).

He’s left himself wiggle room by saying that the law allows him to jail Trump for further violations. If Trump pays the fines but leaves the tweets up, will Judge Merchan toss him in the clink? Or will he just impose further fines?
IANAL — but could Merchan give him a time limit (e.g. 1 hour) and then treat every hour as a new offense, requiring a new fine?

It’s no secret that there was always a secret love connection since the early 2000’s between most Euro hard right groups and the hard right in Israel because the hard right sees Israel as their ideal — a conservative, religious, ethno-tribal nation. It’s the same reason they admire Japan. If however those sames Jewish people they networked with back then moved into their neighborhood in Europe they would encounter some serious hate.

Creative fines are still subject to the statutory limits. I’d be concerned with getting fines overturned on appeal, which is why jail is a real possibility now.

I’ve often wondered if the Vela Incident was in fact a joint Israeli/South African nuclear test. I haven’t read up on it many years, so I don’t know if there’s any consensus conclusion to the matter.

So therefore, unlikely to be of much help (sadly).
re: #15 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
It is, as always, about power.
Modern ‘conservative’ are unhappy that power is being granted to those they believe undeserving of power. They’re very unhappy that this balancing is reducing their power.
So they are working towards an authoritarian system where they have all the power, and everyone else can suck it. You may hate as long as you also fear.

Cannabis is going to be re-classified as per the AP.
re: #210 PhillyPretzel ✅
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, The Associated Press has learned, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple-effects across the country.
The DEA’s proposal, which still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nation’s most dangerous drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use.
The agency’s move, confirmed to the AP on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review, clears the last significant regulatory hurdle before the agency’s biggest policy change in over 50 years can take effect.
Once OMB signs off, the DEA will take public comment on the plan to move marijuana from its current classification as a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin and LSD. It moves pot to Schedule III, alongside ketamine and some anabolic steroids, following a recommendation from the federal Health and Human Services Department. After the public-comment period the agency would publish the final rule.

Because they had no shame about it
People are crazy. You don’t get injections from a “spa.”
‘Vampire facials’ were linked to cases of HIV. Here’s what to know about the beauty treatment
Three women were diagnosed with HIV after getting “vampire facial” procedures at an unlicensed New Mexico medical spa, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report last week, marking the first documented cases of people contracting the virus through cosmetic services using needles.
Federal health officials said in a new report that an investigation from 2018 through 2023 into the clinic in Albuquerque, VIP Spa, found it apparently reused disposable equipment intended for one-time use, transmitting HIV to clients through its services via contaminated blood.
Vampire facials, formally known as platelet-rich plasma microneedling facials, are cosmetic procedures intended to rejuvenate one’s skin, making it more youthful-looking and reducing acne scars and wrinkles, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
After a client’s blood is drawn, a machine separates the blood into platelets and cells.
The plasma is then injected into the client’s face, either through single-use disposable or multiuse sterile needles.

If you read the Spelling Bee Comments, you’ll notice that every puzzle generates a raft of gripes about often quite-common words that get left out of the solution set. The answer is that said set is “curated”, and that not EVERY word that can be made from the given letters is included: and that those “curatorial” decisions are pretty opaque.

I don’t recall if I posted anything here about this (or maybe it was elsewhere) but in the late 60’s, early 70’s we were protesting Vietnam. I was dating a physics major who was actively involved in the takeover of the administration building; I went to classes and never participated in that action. The people in charge of the university waited the demonstrators out, until they finally gave up their occupation and it ended peacefully. And then a large group, including my boyfriend, were expelled.
