Certification programs or at least badges for excellence in astroturfing. <br /><br />In the interest fair mindedness, inclusiveness or something, I added Baum's blogs to the blogrolls. On the other hand, Sean Kennedy advocates <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott,_Divestment_and_Sanctions" rel="nofollow">BDS</a>. That suggests other directions that I prefer to avoid. In the meantime, I'll just keep on as I have been.Vanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902806755108251456.post-71179443720639050402014-07-31T08:28:46.175-06:002014-07-31T08:28:46.175-06:00Is this a trained commenter?

It's possible the guy is legit and not a plant but I've seen lots of action from commenters with an agenda on most any liberal/progressive pro-union pro-people websites. They usually pay no attention to what the author's saying and just start attacking based on a Libertarian party line script.<br /><br />He attacks both women by name and says he is part of the adjunct movement but I still can't help but wonder: is there an agenda to silence some adjunct activists? <br /><br />I mean, Ana M Fores Tomayo says that her petition is aimed at helping outlier adjuncts in rural areas and that she' hasn't been given the same kind of PR help as the recent petition making the rounds. Her point is that this hurts outlier adjuncts. This is why I wonder if this isn't a push to target certain adjuncts or certain ideas.<br /><br />Saying we're all in this together and not meaning it isn't helpful at all. If you really felt that way, you wouldn't attack with blind hatred. And you wouldn't make a public scene if your goal is to advance solidarity.Nahdiah Nhttp://oralenyada.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902806755108251456.post-32021338729589542332014-07-30T23:34:24.823-06:002014-07-30T23:34:24.823-06:00and your actions, Miranda? and your actions, Miranda?

I cannot wait to hear about the next step with your "legislative" agenda; keep us all informed. <br /><br />In the meantime, keep on sharing, and as I always say, we are all in this together, YES! <br /><br />In sol(idarity), <br /><br /><br /><br />Ana M.

Enough already. Basta! <br /><br />It's simply, Ana (and Vanessa).<br /><br />We sign each other's petitions; we contact each other's contacts; we build this movement for the people who are suffering in Adjunct hell. <br /><br />That's it; nothing more. <br />Nothing less. <br /><br />And if you can't do that, I don't understand why you even bother to make the effort because this ISN'T about YOU or ME or anyone else. This is about people right now who have no money to pay their bills or repay their loans who are looking at a a declining number of positions even in the neoliberal corporate paradise called the at-will job market.<br /><br />FFS -- please stop!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773334317275732260noreply@blogger.com
