Every time we see this, we should repost it.

Let's make it the anti-fascist version of the "Tom Holland Lip lip syncing to Umbrella in a corset" video: everyone must reshare every time, and no one gets annoyed.

Princeton Undergrads Vote to Divest from Weapons Manufacturing

Princeton Undergrads Vote to Divest from Weapons Manufacturing

Calling on the Trustees of Princeton University and the Princeton University Investment Company (“PRINCO”) to take urgent and decisive action towards upholding human rights by 1) disclosing and divesting all direct and indirect holdings in companies involved in weapons development, manufacturing, or trade; 2) as a first priority, disclosing and divesting direct holdings in Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX (formerly Raytheon), and General Dynamics, weapons manufacturers with documented ties to human rights violations; 3) increasing communication and accountability on socially responsible investments with the student body and campus community.

68% of undergraduate students have voted in favor of divesting from weapons manufacturing as the genocide against Palestinian people continues. Princeton, will you listen to your students?

What’s next? 1. Celebrate our win, but know the work is not over yet! 2. USG will send a position letter stating that the undergraduate student body calls on the university to divest from these companies. 3.During the upcoming semester, we will be having SJP Town Halls once a month. Attend these to ask questions, discuss strategy, and help make our movement stronger.

Conservatives *need* sex to be immutable. Evidence to the contrary aggravates them because the mutability of sex undermines large aspects of their worldview regarding patriarchy and the "natural" order of society.

This is why they will transvestigate cis women before admitting sex can change.
