ABC7
— Chicago students march for policy change in schools, universities
https://abc7chicago.com/students-strike-back-march-for-policy-change/6348398/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students from across Chicago took to the streets demanding the removal of police from schools and universities. Thousands gathered in downtown Chicago near State Street and Jackson Boulevard Saturday night, sometimes blocking entire intersections. The group, called “Students Strike Back,” is also calling for colleges and universities to refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In early July, ICE announces students on visas must leave US or transfer to another college if their schools go online-only. It creates an urgent dilemma for thousands of international students who became stranded in the U.S. last spring after the coronavirus forced their schools to move online. Those attending schools that are staying online must “depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction,” according to the guidance. They also say they are marching for more medical and mental health resources in their communities.)

MILWAUKEE INDEPENDENT
— NOT A RADICAL IDEA: THE UNITED STATES HAS PREVIOUSLY PAID REPARATIONS FOR THE SINS OF ITS PAST (DIERSEN: How much reparations do your critics/opponents want you to pay and why? My critics/opponents want me to pay lots of reparations because I am conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, heterosexual, married, childless, 100% German American, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, draft avoider, gun owner, lived in Crete 1948-1972, lived in Wheaton since 1978, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. I should write a book about those who have focused on making me pay reparations, that is, making me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would focus on Democrat and RINO elected officials and party leaders and my Democrat superiors in the federal government. In my defense, I have already paid lots of reparations. AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination are reparations. Democrats and RINOs use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government would/should say that they took adverse actions against me to make me pay reparations. My Democrat GAO superiors would/should stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would/should stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would/should stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would/should stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were Black.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats have recruited one of their most diverse slate of candidates for a prized program that targets top flip opportunities across the country. Of the 31 members of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) Red to Blue program, 26 are women and 12 are people of color. Earning a spot provides candidates with a boost, including extra attention from national Democrats and access to expanded resources and fundraising opportunities. Wins by the recruits would add to what is already the most diverse House majority in history after Democrats took over the chamber in 2018 with a class that included Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kansas), who was among the first Native American women in Congress.)

I am no longer a Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster. I am no longer an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member.

DAILY MAIL
— Dissenters live in fear and serious debate is silenced by the woke mob leading America’s cultural revolution – ANDREW ROBERTS (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who silence those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate. I would focus on present and past a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter and b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. I would focus on the aforesaid who hint/hinted, imply/implied, argue/argued, shout/shouted that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8584963/ANDREW-ROBERTS-Dissenters-live-fear-debate-silenced-woke-mob.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s a response worthy of 1960s China and the groveling apologies forced upon the victims of Mao’s Cultural Revolution. But that would be appropriate, because a cultural revolution is exactly what is taking place in today’s America, where the woke mob has surrounded the citadels of democracy – newspapers, magazines, television stations and, of course, universities. Dissenters live in fear. Serious debate is all but silenced. A recent survey published by the respected Cato Institute reveals that 62 per cent of Americans say today’s political climate prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find their views offensive. Just think about that: an overwhelming majority of Americans – across all political persuasions –have political opinions that they are afraid to share. It is positively Orwellian. How long until the same thing happens here – if it has not already? Even liberals are afraid, with a majority – 52 per cent – feeling they have to self-censor before speaking or writing. The same applies to 64 per cent of people who consider themselves moderates, and 77 per cent of conservatives. These numbers are higher than they have ever been – representing a true threat to democracy. And even more worrying for those who value the future of openness and political diversity is the intolerance of the young, who are driving so much of this frightening new trend. Forty four per cent of Americans under 30 support firing company executives if it is discovered they privately donate their own money to President Trump. Fifty per cent of people who call themselves strong liberals support firing Trump donors from their jobs. This tide of aggression towards people who merely happen to hold opposing views cannot be written off as a blip, for it is clearly part of a wider trend that has engulfed other Western nations.)
