The Durham Rescue Mission takes in people with nowhere else to go and gives them another shot at life. But former guests say the Mission, whose affiliated nonprofits brought in $23 million in revenue in 2022, exploited them at their lowest point. indyweek.com/news/durham/we…

“Adeyemi, like other former and current guests, told The Assembly she worked 40 hours for pay that started at just $5 a week.” That’s $0.125 per hour. For comparison, NC prisons pay incarcerated people between $0.05 to $0.38 an hour for their labor

This is infuriating! Does USC not recognize the morbid irony of offering a minor in resistance to genocide and then not allowing the schools valedictorian, who studied this, who has worked hard to earn that moment, to speak during an ongoing genocide? We've really seen it ALL

Noticing some folks reasoning that particular students don't deserve a militant police response bc they are "peaceful." I don't care if students break windows, shove back, or throw things; none of them deserve a militarized police response. They're protesting a genocide.

Cannot stop losing my mind about the fact that all this is over some kids trying to stop an extremely well-documented campaign of mass murder and starvation against innocent civilians. How does anyone support what Israel is doing at this point?

A lot of focus on how bad it is to kill children but I also do not think it’s ok to kill adults. It would not be better if the people killed in Gaza were all adults.

Wanting a Democratic presidential nominee who has not actively enabled a genocide feels like it should not be a big ask ???
