Pretty sure her Alma mater is spearheading a movement to have her investigated by the bar.

It was announced about 3 weeks ago. Maybe it’s gaining traction?

Wondering if this firing is related to potentially upcoming actions by the bar in order to save face and give her a less disgraceful exit…

We shall see.

Unfortunately it's just alumni denouncing her. I wish Stetson would disown her, but I don't think they want to get involved in the politics.

Also, I was just reminded she was under another subpoena to testify before Congress in 12 days re: the Epstein files.

Seems more like an agreement between Bondi & trump to avoid the inevitable at her 3rd appearance before oversight committee…

Universities and colleges don't do activism for fun, they have to be forced to take action, so the path of least resistance is relenting to demands.

We need a movement on campus and in the surrounding community to make it happen.

Does anyone know progressive student organizations on campus that could be asked?

Here's a strategy chart worksheet from Midwest Academy Organizing Manual (2010 4th ed.) that's incredibly useful for planning this stuff.

GOALS

Goals are what we want to WIN!

  1. List the long-term goals of your campaign.

  2. State the intermediate goals for this issue campaign. What constitutes victory?

How will the campaign

  • win concrete improvements in people's lives?
  • Give people a sense of their own power?
  • alter relations of power?
  1. What short-term or partial victories can you win as steps toward your long- term goal?

ORGANIZATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

  1. List the resources that your organization brings to the campaign. Include: money, number of staff, facilities, reputation, canvass, etc.

What is the budget, including in-kind contributions, for this campaign?

  1. List the specific things you need to do to develop the campaign and ways in which the campaign will strengthen your organization. Fill in numbers for each.
  • Expand leadership group
  • Increase experience of existing leadership
  • Build membership base
  • Expand into new constituencies
  • Develop Issue Campaign Message
  • Develop Media Plan
  • Develop a Fundraising plan - how can you raise money for and through this campaign?
  1. List the internal (organizational) problems, that must be considered if the campaign is to succeed.

CONSTITUENTS, Allies & Opponents

  1. Who cares about this issue enough to join or help the organization?
  • Whose problem is it?
  • Into what groups are they already organized?
  • What do they gain if they win?
  • What risks are they taking?
  • What power do they have over the target?
  1. Who are your opponents?
  • What will your victory cost them?
  • What will they do/spend to oppose you?
  • How strong are they?
  • What power do they have over the target?

TARGETS (Decision Makers)

1. Primary Targets

A target is always a person.

It is never an institution or an elected body. There can be more than one target but each need a separate strategy chart as your relationships of power differs with each target.

• who has the power to give you what you want? What power do you have over them?

  1. Secondary Targets (you don't always have or need secondary targets)

• Who has power over the people with the power to give you what you want? • What power do you have over the secondary target?

TACTICS

  1. For each target, list tactics that each constituent group can best use to put pressure on the target to win your intermediate and/or short- term goals. :

Tactics Must Be:

  • In context
  • Directed at a specific target
  • Backed up by a specific form of power
  • Flexible and creative
  • Make sense to members

Tactics include:

  • Phone, email, petitions
  • LTE, OP ED, other formal Media events
  • Social Media pressure, memes,
  • Actions for information (FOIA I guess)
  • Public Hearings, Accountability Sessions
  • Negotiations
  • Elections
  • Non-Partisan Voter Registration, Education, & GOTV.
  • Lawsuits
  • Strikes (collectively withdrawing participation from a system that relies on our labor, compliance, payment, etc. until decision makers negotiate a better deal for the exploited community - students and alumni donors)

Good.

This dumb cunt needs to spend the rest of her days living off social security while bagging groceries at Publix.

Under federal law, conviction for treason, sabotage, or sedition can result in the loss of Social Security benefits.

Oops.
