    1. By contrast, the activists who spoke at Sanders’ rally on Friday were well-received.

    1. “Gov. Rauner is actually trying to get a better deal for taxpayers than they’ve ever gotten before in these negotiations, and your allies desperately want to take (out) the people’s negotiator, who they put in that room,” Murphy said.

      but he's trying to screw over those same people, who are the union workers.

    2. because he’s a more formidable bargainer than his two Democratic predecessors “who gave away the taxpayers’ store to secure their own elections.”

      it's okay to be pro-union.

    1. Rauner and his Republicans could set aside the anti-labor agenda for another time and we could get about the long haul of rebuilding Illinois.

      yes, they should

    2. Rauner is absolutely correct when he says some things ought to change along with ending this no-budget nonsense.

    1. That she could explain to them why cooperating with cops and prosecutors in finding and convicting the bad guys can curtail the bloodshed that takes so many of their children's lives.

      This is your problem Chicago Tribune. She needs to LISTEN to these communities, not 'splain what they need to do.

    2. But, year after year, hundreds of young people are slaughtered in those communities by stone-cold killers who should be ostracized and punished

      oh look you avoided the use of "super predators"

    3. Beyond a polite hello in the elevator, prosecutors should be fiercely independent of politicians, especially those who sign off on their budget

    1. We believe Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is right to expect property tax relief and some workers’ comp insurance changes and other changes that will improve Illinois’ economy.

      weird

    1. The Wall Street Journal for allowing a talk by Jasbir K. Puar

  2. Feb 2016
    1. There are questions about whether Ms. Fisher even has legal standing to sue the university, he said, since she has already gone on to graduate from Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge

      well, I doubt they'll dismiss it because of that.

    2. agreed that the court was likely to rule in Ms. Fisher’s favor.

      booo

    1. these exact same people would be arguing that open-access is too costly for researchers, and a commonsense subscription model would allow less expensive access to the people who needed access, while not forcing everyone to pay for access to the public who mostly doesn't need it or care

      yeah, that's unfair imo

    1. I say to ASIST buzz off and butt out. Seriously. If they want to do their own accreditation (when they can't even agree on what we do or who we are), fine.

    1. The statute of limitations had run out

      what's the statute of limitations on murder???

    2. First, as we found out too late, there had been no federal law against assassinating a U.S. president in November 1963 when Kennedy was killed in Dallas.

      wut

    1. An actual AFL-CIO endorsement of Sanders was always going to be as a tall order

      why?

    2. And Sanders backers welcomed it as a boost for the Vermont senator, who beat Clinton in the New Hampshire primary and whose poll numbers have spiked in recent weeks

      of course

      yeah, I don't think this is true

    2. Voting for Hillary is, unfortunately, a strike against poor people.

    2. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who serves as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

      hmmm

    3. fellow Vermont lawmaker Rep. Peter Welch.

      I mean, if it's an endorsement from a Vermont politician, does it really count?

    1. But in the hard-fought winter of an election year, gestures mean a lot. And Sanders caught some flak for a move some thought condescending.

      that is often viewed as condescending when used against women

    1. So it seems Democrats are just really upset that women aren't making the careers choices that Democrats think they should make. Why do Democrats hate women's choices?

      headdesk

    2. The problem with this statement is that the gender wage gap is due to the choices women make and is therefore not fixable unless those choices are controlled — which is a ludicrous suggestion.

      uh no

    1. the intent of the bill is to reestablish the United States’s credibility with the European Union following highly publicized leaks of classified information in recent years.

      what about our credibility with the rest of the world?

    2. This bill would allow foreign citizens in European countries to sue the United States for unlawful disclosure of personal information — under the terms of the Privacy Act — obtained in connection with international law enforcement efforts

      Why just European countries???

    1. Clinton campaign has made the ill-advised choice to go after him as too dovish on Iran and too critical of Israel,

      I missed the too critical of Israel, that's surrising to me

    2. As long as he can avoid gaffes, which he did in Milwaukee

      How is bringing up the Iraq War EVERY TIME not a gaffe?

    3. So how did he do on foreign policy Thursday? A little better.

      I dunno that we watched the same debate

    1. “There’s an important Hispanic element to the Democratic caucus in Nevada. But it’s still a state that is 80% white voters.

    1. Clinton campaign's chief spokesman was already casting doubt on its chances in Nevada on Tuesday in an effort to lower expectations

      hmmm

    1. Sanders: "One of us ran against Barack Obama. I was not that candidate."

      this was cute. Hillary ran against him in 2008. Bernie Sanders wanted to run against him in 2012.

    2. "I think that the best analysis that I've seen based on Senator Sanders' plans is that it would probably increase the size of the federal government by about 40 percent," she said.

      woaah

    3. Sanders is confident he will improve race relations

      this was not a good moment for him. This being included on the list is how you know two white people wrote it.

    4. somebody with my background

      he should just freaking say that he's Jewish. The rest of the tribe wants to hear him say it!

    1. Bernie Sanders only states that he supports a woman’s right to choose. Hillary, in her campaign, has stated that she is pro-choice

      these are literally the same-thing

    1. Bernie’s allegation that Hillary Clinton isn’t a progressive, something that has caused an uproar among Democrats.

      what happened with "sticking to the issues"?

    2. was when Bernie said the reaction to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, would be different if it had occurred in a white suburb. He also said he suspected Hillary agreed with him. Indeed, Hillary has taken the lead on drawing attention to the Flint water crisis.

      he "suspected", ha! She specifically said that in the previous debate! #ffs

    1. which force municipalities to use costly binding arbitration processes in negotiating with public safety employees.

    2. In the Seattle speech that was pre-empted by the BLM interrupters, Sanders was going to hail the 80th anniversary of the New Deal’s Social Security Act (SSA).

      citation?

    1. f he turns criminal justice into a false choice between “educat[ing] or electrocut[ing],” his record shows he has come down on the side of electrocuting. He may be right that the number of inmates in the United States has quadrupled since 1980, and he was part of the reason.

      hayoooo

    1. reach the conclusion that Sanders's disengagement with foreign policy was so deeply worrying that it calls into question his ability to ever learn the minimal basics for conducting US foreign policy, which would be the point at which this would become disqualifying

      I mean, he's been in the race for months now. He should have better answers than this.

    2. Yes, these answers are bad, but they come across to me as those of someone who didn't bother to study before the big test — concerning, but not disqualifying — rather than someone who lacks the necessary intelligence or curiosity to ever learn.

      Well if you don't study for the test and then REPEATEDLY FAIL EVERY TEST, I feel like that means you REFUSE to be qualified for an essential part of the job.

    3. So I would say that the key doctrine of the Sanders administration would be no, we cannot continue do it alone, we need to work in coalition.

      I'm not sure that's so bad...

    4. but I'm not persuaded it's a great idea that every president should be able to articulate a philosophy so broad that it provides an answer for every possible global challenge yet so neat and compact that it can be expressed in a 30-second debate answer.

      not anyone can have a Monroe Doctrine

    5. But what we must do, and what we have seen in recent months, is some progress in Iraq, where finally the Iraqi army, which has not been a particularly effective fighting force, retook Ramadi. ISIS has lost I think 40 percent of the territory that it held in the last yea

      wut?

    6. provide them the military equipment that they need; the air support they need; special forces when appropriate.

      so, basically what we're doing now?

    7. Well, I think our great task is to make certain that our young men and women in the military do not get sucked into never ending warfare in Syria and Iraq. I will do my very best to make sure that that doesn't happen.

      wait wut

    1. Sanders claimed that NAFTA and other trade deals have cost “millions” of U.S. jobs, but independent economists have said the impact on the economy was small.

      gonna side with Sanders on this one

    1. He also accepted a large donation from Hillary Clinton’s Political Action Committee, HILLPAC, which featured him as one of its most important candidates.

      REALLY?

    2. one study found that 38 other congressional representatives had a more progressive voting record.

      citation plz

    1. This vote was followed by his support for appropriations to support boththe war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

      thought he voted against the war in Iraq?

    2. When antiwar activists occupied Sanders’ office in 1999 because of that support of Clinton’s war policies, he had them arrested.

      ya'll need to cite your sources more =/

    1. Adjuncts at the International Academy, however, are eligible to unionize, Mr. Quick wrote, and the university “will begin bargaining in good faith” on a contract.

      what's the difference between the International Academy and the Roski College of Art and Design?

    1. This validates Sanders’ strategy of looking to the economy as the top concern of minority communities

      uh, no it doesn't. How will he address institutionalized racism? Great more jobs for more people but they'll probably go to poor whites, not blacks or latinos

    2. Gallup polling shows that 13 percent of Hispanics say immigration is their top concern; 47 percent say the economy is. Meanwhile, among black Americans, 13 percent say “race relations” is their top concern, tied with “unemployment/jobs,” an additional 10 percentage points go to the “economy in general.”

      Gallup polling is also largely based on landlines

    3. While Clinton did not talk to them, Bernie Sanders was not only willing to talk, but agreed with their call for executive action.

      which is why Sanders has said that we shouldn't open our borders to outside immigrants

    4. he has repeatedly condemned police violence during the duration of the Black Lives Matter movement.

      right, which is why he was so willing to say that "black lives matter" and has repeatedly said he doesn't need the minority vote

    1. Clinton will have the chance to push change in ways that eluded Obama. Dyson argued that Clinton, free from the stigma of blackness and the potential for perceived bias, would be able to speak more freely on issues of race than Obama ever could.

      I'm not sure about this. Sounds like asking a white woman to speak on behalf of PoCs

    1. the former New York senator said that more investment is needed in neglected neighborhoods. She pointed to Congressional Black Caucus proposals that would direct federal funds to communities that have experienced “disinvestment or no investment.”

      booo

    1. a male advisor told her to tone down her feminism because it would alienate voters.

      mistaaaake

    2. Clinton's womanizing

      I think it's her obfuscation of Bill's sexual assaults that's the issue here

    3. especially a woman who has been an outspoken advocate for women's rights long before feminism was en vogue

      they've been in vogue since the 70s...

    1. Dismissing those who want to take gender into account is turning your back on the basic democratic principle that people have the right to be politically represented.

      THIS. FUCKING THIS.

    1. Clinton may not be able to feel one’s pain quite like her husband, but she’s in her element prescribing a wonky solution to the ailment.

      what the eff is this supposed to mean?

    1. All Americans comprehend there is gross income inequality, but African Americans face more than just economic injustice and Clinton deftly acknowledged that fact of life

      thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis. Bernie has started to, FINALLY

    1. a Sanders blowout in New Hampshire could produce some more momentum for him, whereas a strong Clinton showing would show that she is stopping the Sanders insurgency in advance of the next set of contests, where the more diverse electorates give her an advantage

      I'm pretty certain she's going to lose New Hampshire, that won't be a surprise

    1. they start to say they won’t vote for Clinton. Ever.

      ugh

    2. Much of Sanders' youthful base, which has little to no memory of life under a Republican president, readily embraces it.

      ooh, good point

    3. one in which a long and drawn-out battle serves only to highlight a deep split in the party’s voters. It’s happened before. And that may be the one they get now.

      we're starting to resemble the Republican party in this instance

    1. And that’s why Clinton’s meeting with black clergy and what she said there are more significant than you realized

      she needs to meet more with young black people and latinos as well

    1. They can be intemperate (as demonstrated by the supporters at the Sanders rally in Des Moines on Monday night who booed Clinton when she appeared on television and chanted “She’s a liar!”)

      kind of respectability politics

    2. She’s a candidate of steadiness at a time when the electorate wants iconoclasts
      1. a person who attacks cherished beliefs or institutions.
      2. a destroyer of images used in religious worship, in particular.
    3. So would an expected loss in New Hampshire, which the media will likely attribute to Clinton’s weakness rather than Sanders being a New Englander (like previous New Hampshire victors Romney, John Kerry, Paul Tsongas, Michael Dukakis and Edmund Muskie).

      and the fact that NH is NEXT DOOR to Vermont

    4. She raised a ton of money

      from big money doners

    5. but a few days earlier that same average showed Sanders with a slight lead. As for the margin of victory, Rick Santorum defeated Mitt Romney by all of 34 votes in 2012 — yet his win was reported as a conquest

      institutionalized misogyny!

    1. 43% of American voters are independent,

      Speaking of polls that are primarily conducted by landlines...

    2. Bernie Sanders is a "once in a lifetime candidate." Clinton represents establishment politics. If you're not voting for Sanders in 2016, don't ever again complain about Wall Street, perpetual wars, or money in politics.

      Kind of like Obama?

    3. Bernie Sanders never uses euphemisms. I trust Bernie because he speaks clearly; English is a means to communicate, not shield from criticism.

      Like his use of "some people like to shout about gun control".

    4. Clinton and Bush aren't very different in terms of foreign policy.

      oh em gee, did you hear Clinton and Sanders in the last few debates? THEY SAID THE SAME THING

    5. In contrast, Hillary Clinton voted for Iraq and now calls her vote a "mistake."

      well goodness, it's almost like she learned from past mistakes

    6. I explain in this YouTube video why I'm only voting for Bernie Sanders and why I will not vote for Hillary Clinton or Trump.

      SUPREME COURT SEATS ARE AT RISK

    7. No you wouldn't because Clinton passed tough on crime law

    1. Clinton trailing Sens. Ted Cruz, the winner in Iowa, and Marco Rubio, the third-place finisher.

      this is scary

    1. More than 90 percent of companies legally force workers to attend anti-union meetings that include “one-on-one conversations” with supervisors.

    1. AND THESE NEW BERNIE VS. HILLARY MEMES. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING?

      oh my god, this

    2. just like Obama has had to for eight goddamn years

      yessss, but Hillary threw quite a bit of racist shade at Obama

      sadly

    1. Mr. Coyne threw gasoline on that little fire

      ha

    2. And when black football players joined the protest, Mr. Wolfe says, it was "the equivalent of throwing gasoline on a small fire." He adds that their coach, Gary Pinkel, "missed the opportunity to teach them a valuable life lesson" and that "the end result could be financial catastrophe for our university" because, he says, the university will lose "more than $25 million" in revenue from reduced enrollment next fall.

      glad he doesn't think that the lives of students of color are worth that much

    1. “As an academic professional, her first goal should have been to promote a safe and stable learning environment for all students, and to represent the university to the public in a way that strengthens the image of our flagship state institution of higher education. Instead, Professor Click’s comments served to inflame an already caustic situation that was clearly out of line.”

      she was trying to do so, that's why she was protecting the students of #ConcernedStudent1950

    1. Enhanced functionality for metadata description on the OSF will help increase discoverability of research and support institutional data preservation workflows

      interested to see how this looks

    1. "Yes, cannabis has an impact, but the focus should be on the task force report we were given," Marlin said. "We have a responsibility to address the issues raised by the report. This is part of it, but it's not the main focus. We should get back to our main focus here."

      hmm

    2. Something is being done about it.

      what is that something??

    3. Connolly said marijuana arrests often happen in conjunction with more serious crimes.

      yeah? Where's the data to back this up?

    1. American is also expanding its complimentary entertainment on domestic flights with in-seat TVs. Passengers will be able to choose from up to 40 movies, 60 TV shows and 300 music albums. Delta has taken a different path, focusing more on entertainment that passengers can stream to their own devices. It now offers about 67 movies and 138 TV shows for free.

      how about free internet

    1. Although there are guidelines for donating water, why not donate directly to Catholic Charities Center for Hope, the nonprofit that’s handling the donations, and let them decide how the money is best allocated?

      yeah, nope. What else do they do? If they're Catholic, they probably also advocate against women's health rights

    2. says don’t send bottled water to Flint.

      well, really they just re-shared what Michael Moore wrote

    1.

      payments in lieu of taxes? For what?

    2. while "some of the challenges outlined in the document resonate with me and many members of our community," he would "not respond directly to any document that explicitly rejects the notion of collaborative engagement."

      ugh this is so much bs

    3. "My short term goal is to have 20-25 people leave by the 25th," wrote Mr. Newman, a businessman who took office as president last year. "This one thing will boost our retention 4-5%. A larger committee or group needs to work on the details, but I think you get the objective."

      how would this boost student retention?!

      $100?!

    2. Unfortunately

      I wouldn't call this unfortunate. Jowers was trying to capitalize off of a tragedy

    1. States and localities that make progress in this area should get more federal justice grant money. Those that do not should get their funding slashed.

      This didn't work for NCLB and I don't believe it will work for criminal justice reform either.

    2. We need to require police departments and states to collect data on all police shootings and deaths that take place while in police custody and make that data public.

    1. Quite frankly, if Facebook was insisting that people must strip naked, spin thrice widdershins and then shout ‘Hail Zuckerberg’ before using internet.org I’d regard that as a small price to pay for the economic benefits that are going to flow from its use.”

      well you're not in that position to have to pay it so your opinion, quite frankly, doesn't count

    2. That $1.25 a day and under utter destitution of peasant poverty.

      you mean the same poverty that capitalism depends on for the success of wealth white nations?

    3. explained

      you misspelled 'splained

    4. As above, net neutrality is an interesting idea and concept. But the prime task is to alleviate that poverty: that requires that GDP grows, that more wealth be generated

      No, the prime task is to alleviate poverty in such a way that is FAIR to everyone, not just facebook. In that way, we need net neutrality.

    5. the idea

      what is a semantically related article???

    1. but some professors say the process was not transparent enough. “Here we are just a few weeks away from when these cuts will take effect, and we’re really, a lot of us, caught off-guard and not really sure what’s in store for our research and for our students,” a political-science professor, Scott Matthews, told the CBC.

      so, about how scholarly journal subscriptions work....

      uh no, they come from "lesser schools" BECAUSE OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM

    1. WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU RETHINK BUYING YOUR BROTHER A HOVERBOARD FOR XMAS... Need new ideas stat. Rio's back to the drawing board too. Yesterday, one of its major power suppliers for the Olympics pulled out. Great timing, since the games are less than a year away. And Rio's dealing with just a few other things right now. Think: polluted water where Olympians will be competing, an epic recession, and impeachment proceedings against its prez. But it wouldn't be the first time the Olympics won a gold medal in 'sh*t show' (cough, Sochi, cough).

      uh wut.

    2. The scholarship is used to pay tuition, fees, and other related expenses. As a result, the state does not have to appropriate per-pupil education funding for those students that receive scholarships

      this is BULLSHIT

    1. “Voters seem to understand how the state’s changing demographics are intrinsically linked to the state’s ability to succeed economically through a skilled and educated workforce.”

      then how the hell do Republicans keep getting elected???
