I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic.

This is from 2016.

@jensorensen This is a perfect example of how power and money can silence marginalized voices. When those with privilege feel threatened, they'll stop at nothing to suppress dissent.

@jensorensen I regret that you were right.

@jensorensen
i put it here as well.

my fear is, it is about power and money.

when someone or something can afford lawyers or supports financially, they are protected.

when someone or something does not have financial resources, they are discriminated, or even arrested and expelled from university.

@jensorensen So, so true. I HATE that it’s true.
Here at the university of Iowa, trans people are the only ones targeted by the cops when bigots are invited to give speeches, and we protest them. We have them on record in court testimony saying they do this!

@aizuchi I'm sorry to hear that!
