Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.

The weather today hasn't been as bad as we expected--which means it's a great day to go out and vote Union Yes!
Today’s the day when we finally get to vote Union Yes! Despite the rain, we’re bringing our jackets and umbrellas and turning out to win this election. Here’s everything you need to know about where and when to cast your ballot: harvardacademicworkers.org/h…

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.
