Nothing more on brand than the institution which you are paying tens of thousands of dollars to attend, arresting you.

@dizzy Have you seen what they've done at UCLA? They've actually set up checkpoints which you have to pass in order to get on campus. They check everything from what you're wearing, what's in your bag etc and check your name on a list. Students have been posting clips of them being refused entry.
All the University's going to do is make their situation worse. It's so backward.

I bet that went over real well with the parents / potential future alumni donors.

@fkamiah17 The corporate logos put the finishing touches on that one.

@mike805 Right? Properly bleak.

@fkamiah17 What law are you breaking by holding up a sign when asked not to?!?

@LeafyEricScott Didn't congress pass one last week that made Palestinian protesters "extremists"?

@fkamiah17 @LeafyEricScott I think it was the House, not the Senate, so it's not a law.

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@samhainnight @LeafyEricScott Ah, yes, you're right! Sorry, it's hard to keep up with every step on the road to dystopia 😔

@fkamiah17 @LeafyEricScott Isn't it?

@fkamiah17 Land of the free.

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@aral Indeed. Although there's definitely an argument to be made that it's the "home of the brave" - just not applied to the usual suspects.

@fkamiah17 First Amendment, much?

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@knutson_brain The Amendment that only applies when we it's to let us tell lies and be racist.

@fkamiah17 Ah, censorship. Nothing like private property rules while publicly funded isn't there a federal law challenged there? 🤷

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@decapitae Laws don't matter when it's politically inconvenient for them to do so.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious No, not really. Gilead's already happened. They're just adding the Hunger Games/Oceania.

@fkamiah17 @MadeyeTheCarnaptious next up is Genosha added to that list.

@Thebratdragon @MadeyeTheCarnaptious They're compiling Dystopia's Greatest Hits, so I guess it won't be long.
