Free Republic

Mine is pretty newish from a couple of years ago. Was the feeding problem a rimlock issue from the semi-rimmed case or was it just having a hard time eating the hollow point/flat nose stuff? The fiocci feels like it is the snappiest stuff I have tried, only fmj so far for me.

Freegards

More, they believe that opposition to antisemitism is inherently anti-palestinian. Which is anathema to the first amendment.

Try cheating PRC nationals out of multi-million-dollar properties and Beijing will overrule the Canadian court.

Some of the judges have been changed. Its not the same court.

Ok...let’s be sure the judges property is first.

Lol. I LOVE this pic!

This is what the left wants to do here. Not THEIR property of course, just your property.
Take property from you and give it to people who didn't work for it. Title transfers and money exchanged in the past will mean nothing.

There are NO "native Canadians," just as there are no native Americans. Their DNA says that they are descendants of ORIENATAL ASIANS, who migrated across the Bering Straits when it was a solid land mass. That WAS eons ago but DNA doesn't change just because of migration,

I found this out when I had my own DNA tested. My mother had 8% Oriental Asian in her. I inherited that. So I have a tiny bit of Oriental Asian in me.

ALL those Canadians, North/Central/South Americans who are called "Indians" are not native to the Americas in any way shape or form.

However, they were the FIRST Americans.
Nothing wrong with that.

The left has its head in the ground. I ENJOY watching the left stutter, stammer and screech whenever Trump speaks.
And, I DO enjoy watching those drug shipments from South America get blown to bits.

About the US—what is the background for the TV ads that have an official say “It is against the law for us to refuse the fraudulent document. We have to accept it and approve it.”

What kind of system allows that absolute outrage?
(Don’t answer).

For the Anthropology Department, but probably not just them.

The border is secure.

Rent-A-Mobs.

Buses.

Signs.

“Action groups.”

“NGOs.”

Phone banking.

Kickbacks.

Theft.

Street money.

Good question though.

Looks like almost all of their grad students are foreigners with a Marxist agenda.

In an impassioned speech, NUGW President Mounica Sreesai encouraged NUPU members to continue their unionization fight and acknowledged the fear and anger that many researchers are feeling amid federal funding cuts.

Mounica Sreesai (She/Her)
Cultural Anthropology (Ph.D. Candidate 2025)
Regional Focus: India

Research Content: Mounica’s research interests lie in labor, gender, caste, capitalist relations, inequalities, politics, and social/political movements/mobilizations. She is currently interested in the subjectivities of working-class women participating in labor unions and movements consequential to the inherently gendered and unequal world of work. More specifically, how they reconstruct, navigate and negotiate these spaces. Her research focuses on their lived experiences of political participation and assertion, i.e., the conception, articulation, and performance of sisterhood networks, solidarities, and identities. Her project explores how they articulate (and the various forms this takes) work, labor, and struggle, and through the process, interrogate and transform them in the intertwined spaces of unions and movements, workplaces, and intimate-familial spheres. She probes how their presence and work alter the characteristics and culture of unions. Her attempt is to situate them in the intersection of labor and feminist studies by examining the emancipatory possibilities they see for themselves as women and as workers and how their membership in unions equips them to conceive of and articulate sociopolitical change.

"Holy South Africa, Batman..."

"those people better learn to croupier and fast!"

Cowichan?

So, there was someone, some other tribe before the Cowichan that inhabited that area. The Cowichan qualify as evil colonizers that stole the land.

Find out who was there before the Cowichan. Let’s call them The Pre-Cowichan. The current home/land owners can then “identify as Pre-Cowichan” and occupy their ancestral land.

I can just hear the protestors chant: “Hey, Ho, the Cowichan have got to go!”

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY GRADUATE WORKERS
Northwestern University Graduate Workers (NUGW) is an antiracist, feminist labor union fighting for better working and living conditions for all graduate workers. We understand that the material conditions of our academic lives, and the right to a collective voice in decisions that affect these conditions, are inherently issues of racial, gender, and decolonial justice. We are dedicated to building a diverse and democratic union that centers the needs of historically excluded and underrepresented graduate students, particularly Black, Indigenous, POC, queer, trans, undocumented, low-income, first-generation, parenting students and students living with disabilities or chronic illnesses.

Mission Statement
Northwestern University Graduate Workers (NUGW) is an antiracist, feminist labor union fighting for better working and living conditions for all graduate workers. We understand that the material conditions of our academic lives, and the right to a collective voice in decisions that affect these conditions, are inherently issues of racial, gender, and decolonial justice. We are dedicated to building a diverse and democratic union that centers the needs of historically excluded and underrepresented students, particularly Black, Indigenous, POC, queer, trans, undocumented, low-income, first-generation, parenting students and students living with disabilities or chronic illnesses.

Crest of NUGW with the words “Northwestern University Graduate Workers” surrounding an icon of an open book with a lightbulb above it.
As research assistants, teaching assistants, and instructors of record, we play a vital role in the day-to-day functioning and long term success of Northwestern. We are united in the goal of achieving formal recognition from Northwestern’s administration so we can collectively bargain for an inclusive, collaborative workplace in which all graduate students flourish. Specifically, we advocate for:

A democratic union that empowers students to advance their interests as equal participants in the university’s decision making process and holds the university accountable to its core mission of research and education.
The needs of our diverse student body, especially the needs of historically excluded and underrepresented groups. We strongly oppose inequality, discrimination, and harassment in all forms.
Safe, reasonable, and comfortable working conditions, including increased protection from arbitrary termination, sexual harassment, and all forms of discrimination.
The financial security necessary to enable academic success, including adequate healthcare, childcare, and a living wage.
The intellectual and academic freedom of graduate students to teach and research topics of legitimate scholarly interest without fear of reprisal.
NUGW stands in solidarity with workers and students everywhere organizing for a just and equitable system of higher education, and with other workers at Northwestern University, including service workers, staff, adjuncts, and undergraduate student workers. We are committed to actively supporting other organizing initiatives across and beyond Northwestern’s campus, and to linking our common struggles. . .

NUGW-AFT Affiliation Vote & Negotiations
November 2016

After the Columbia decision, both the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) started organizing on campus. NUGW asked both unions for affiliation proposals with the plan of holding an affiliation vote among members. NUGW hosted a debate between AFT and SEIU leadership to help members decide who they would prefer affiliating with. Both unions presented their case at the debate, but only AFT provided an affiliation proposal. At this point, NUGW proposed amendments to AFT’s proposal, which aimed to codify the democratic autonomy of the union. A vote was held to decide between affiliating with AFT and remaining independent. After voting to affiliate, the NUGW bargaining committee held affiliation negotiations with AFT, in which most amendments were accepted. The membership accepted the amended changes and determined that affiliation should move forward. At that point AFT assigned organizers to NUGW’s recognition campaign.

NUGW Founded
September 2016

NUGW was founded in September 2016 by a group of Northwestern graduate workers, about a month after the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) Columbia decision, which confirmed that graduate workers at private universities are employees, and therefore can form labor unions. With a name and an email list, NUGW was born. Our first public meetings were held in the Evanston Public Library.

1846? Statute of limitations? “ The Cowichan were the only Indigenous group to occupy these lands, and>>> they used intimidation and force to keep other Indigenous groups out of these lands. <<<<Thus, the Cowichan exclusively occupied the Cowichan Title Lands.” Sounds like somebody, presumable the English used intimidation and force to take it from them. Purchases made in blood, why one more sacred than another?
