Yale grad students' 'hunger strike' apparently involves eating when hungry

A group of Yale University graduate students announced Tuesday evening that they would be undertaking a hunger strike to pressure the administration into granting them better union benefits. The strike is taking place in front of University President Peter Salovey’s home.
"Yale wants to make us wait and wait and wait … until we give up and go away," the eight members of the graduate student union Local 33 announced. "We have committed ourselves to waiting without eating."
Yale doctoral students currently earn a stipend $30,000 a year, receive free health care, and have their $40,000 tuition paid in full, according to Yale News. The university administration said in a statement that they understood the students concerns, but "strongly [urge] that students not put their health at risk or encourage others to do so."
Update: the Yale grad student union is holding a *symbolic* hunger strike (they eat when hungry) Still inspirational https://t.co/vWIHUjiHrFpic.twitter.com/oGdSbn752h— Dimitri Halikias (@DHalikias) April 26, 2017
As it turns out, the hunger strike might not put anyone's health in peril. According to a pamphlet posted on Twitter by a former Yale student, the hunger strike is "symbolic" and protesters can leave and get food when they can no longer go on.
Local 33 posted a video about the strike on their Facebook page, including quotes endorsing their fast from co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association Dolores Huerta and vice chair of the Democratic National Committee Maria Elena Durazo.

Milk new symbol of hate?
White nationalists and neo-nazis using milk as form of racial supremacy.

When you think of milk, what first comes to your mind? If you’re a millennial, you probably think of strong bones, Got Milk? commercials, or maybe eating your favorite cereal while watching cartoons on a Saturday morning.
What about racism? White nationalism? If you’re having trouble finding the connection between these institutions and milk, you’re not alone. You, along with the rest of the nation, have been so accustomed to hearing the benefits of milk that you probably didn’t even realize the subtle racism hidden in our health facts.
It may not surprise you that the United States was founded on racism. That every institution we uphold has racist roots that are sometimes difficult to catch and even harder to fight against. This phenomenon affects our voter ID laws, state testing and, yes, even our federal dietary guidelines. But how can our health guidelines, a system meant to be built upon scientific fact alone, have racist messages? Where there is a deep-rooted tradition to suppress an entire race’s existence, there’s a way.
The federal endorsement of milk in American diets contributes to the problem by uncritically pushing people to drink milk, despite the potential detriment it has on non-white people’s health.
Our current federal dietary guidelines urge people to drink three cups of milk a day, according to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The main health benefit of milk is to guard against osteoporosis, a disease that weakens your bones — hence the “stronger bones” rhetoric. While this is a very practical health benefit, osteoporosis affects Africans at a significantly lower rate than it does most Americans, according to an article on Mother Jones.
These facts about milk were brought to attention by a scientific magazine that got trickled down into the world of 4chan, where the facts were distorted and exaggerated to fit a racist rhetoric for white supremacy. The online trollers decided to take their milk jugs to the public using Shia LaBeouf’s social experiment livestream project, “He Will Not Divide Us,” which began as a protest against President Donald Trump. The installation has since been shut down by the host, The Museum of Moving Images, for being being “a serious and ongoing public safety hazard,” according to a February article by USA Today.
This is the basis that white supremacist milk chuggers used for their bring-your-own-milk-jug party using Shia LaBeouf’s camera to advance their hateful message. In an effort to prove their masculinity, a dozen middle-aged white men showed up shirtless, shouting about how they need to “secure the future of our diet and the future for milk drinking.” One man proudly displayed his neo-Nazi tattoo while spitting milk into the livestream camera.
This odd form of white supremacy also received cinematic attention through Jordan Peele’s horror movie “Get Out,” a movie that highlights racism in a post-racial America. Peele artistically addresses the new medium of hate with one of the film’s most eerie scenes, which shows a white woman meticulously sipping milk from a bendy straw. The scene would have gone unnoticed in the movie, but audiences were forced to notice the long, drawn-out frame of the woman taking a sip; Peele wanted people to notice.
These seemingly coincidental acts of racism are backed by the way milk continues to be represented in American diets.
The Mother Jones article states that not only is milk non-beneficial to Africans, but following the guidelines may actually be detrimental to their health. There is a strong correlation to calcium consumption and an increased risk of prostate cancer, unproportionally affecting African men. Furthermore, both black children and adults generally secrete less calcium on a daily basis than white people, making them less dependent upon milk.
Remember that this is the dietary guidelines for Americans. I want to emphasize that last word. These guidelines are for Americans. This means they should reflect the health needs of the ethnicities that make up America which, news flash, isn’t just white people. And since the African American community in the U.S. is continuously rising, it seems only logical to acknowledge that while something may be beneficial for one group of people, that may not be the case for another.
These differences are now leaving the world of health and spilling into our political and social lives. Milk has now become a symbol of racial superiority for white nationalists and neo-Nazis, claiming that their ability to process milk makes them racially superior.
That Peele came up with the idea for the scene days before shooting began, not knowing that the release of his movie would be perfectly timed with the sudden rise of interest for milk among white supremacists, is proof that the connection between milk and white supremacy is gaining visibility.
“That scene is just one of my favorites,” Peele told the LA Times. “There’s no dialogue in it — just this beautiful psychotic image that gives me glee when it happens in the film.”
The milk scene in “Get Out,” along with LaBeouf’s livestream, turned what started out as internet trolling into yet another form of nonsensical white superiority. And while there is little logic to the train of thoughts involved in choosing the next inanimate face of racism, our country’s health guidelines certainly take part of the blame for this one.
Until we recognize the racist roots in our own systems of government and fight to remove them, we are all in part responsible for the white, creamy form of racism currently taking hold in our country.

Marine Asks Iraqis Mad Over 'Travel Ban' What Would Happen if He Left Compound & Gets Brutal Answer
By Jenni Fink
19 hours ago
On
Wednesday, Marine veteran Steven Gern posted a video to his Facebook
page that outlined his thoughts on President Trump's recent executive order on immigration.
In the video, Gern stated that he currently works in Iraq and claimed that, just like America, there's a lot going on over there, too. We just don't see it.
His video was posted as a reflection on a conversation he had with Iraqis. First, he described their viewpoint:
Gern highlighted that this isn't ISIS or al-Qaeda making these claims; it's the local populace. This led him to his final question:
By the next day, Gern's video had garnered over 35 million views, according to the Daily Wire. The viral video has since been taken down by YouTube for violating “hate speech” rules.
However, Gern's journey wasn't over when he faced a road block with
YouTube's censorship policy. Less than 24 hours after he posted his
first video, the veteran uploaded a second one.
Shot from a private plane, Gern gave viewers a glimpse of his flight to Baghdad International Airport:
At that point, his video only had 8 million views, but his safety was already deemed compromised. He said:
Gern uploaded another video that addressed allegations that he wasn't honest in his portrayal of Iraqis. He asked viewers:
The CEO of the private security company he worked for “needed him out of the country” after death threats were made — by both Americans and Iraqis. After seeing how things are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, Gern doesn't quite understand the backlash from Americans over Trump's order. He told IJR:
Despite the unexpected and potentially job-costing consequences, Steve Gern has only been driven further in his resolve to continue to speak out for his beliefs. He told IJR, “Now that I see what is happening, I will not be silenced.”
In the video, Gern stated that he currently works in Iraq and claimed that, just like America, there's a lot going on over there, too. We just don't see it.
His video was posted as a reflection on a conversation he had with Iraqis. First, he described their viewpoint:
“A lot of the Iraqis showed their displeasure in this executive order, and why they feel like they’ve been betrayed by the United States.”After he listened to their opinions, he said he got an answer, “without hesitation,” to a simple question he had. He asked, “as an American, if I went out in town right now, would I be welcome?” They answered:
“Absolutely not, you would not be welcome.”When asked, “What would happen if I went in town?” The Iraqis provided him a timeline:
- Locals would snatch him up
- Torture him
- Kill him within an hour - probably a beheading
- It would be filmed for everyone to see
Gern highlighted that this isn't ISIS or al-Qaeda making these claims; it's the local populace. This led him to his final question:
“If you would do this to me, in your country, why would I let you in my country?”His video's purpose was to inform Americans about what's taking place in one of the seven “banned countries” highlighted in President Trump's executive order.
By the next day, Gern's video had garnered over 35 million views, according to the Daily Wire. The viral video has since been taken down by YouTube for violating “hate speech” rules.

Shot from a private plane, Gern gave viewers a glimpse of his flight to Baghdad International Airport:
At that point, his video only had 8 million views, but his safety was already deemed compromised. He said:
“Apparently it wasn't safe for me to stay in the location I was in. So, I'm being sent out.”He asked everybody to “stay tuned,” and his story picked up upon his arrival in Baghdad.
Gern uploaded another video that addressed allegations that he wasn't honest in his portrayal of Iraqis. He asked viewers:
“If what I said wasn't 100% true, why in the world would it be so important to get me removed from this country?”Steve Gern is now back in the United States and spoke to Independent Journal Review over the phone. He provided a timeline of the events:
- Posted video at 11 p.m. Iraq time
- Woke up at 5:30 a.m. and video had 1.1 million views
- Went to work, went on mission
- Returned from mission and put weapons away
- Got a call to the office just after 2 or 3 p.m.
- Went to the office to see the security director and was told he had 30 minutes to pack a bag. A private plane was already running and waiting for him.
The CEO of the private security company he worked for “needed him out of the country” after death threats were made — by both Americans and Iraqis. After seeing how things are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, Gern doesn't quite understand the backlash from Americans over Trump's order. He told IJR:
“Americans in general are extremely naive, they don't want to understand there are actual people out there that don't like our way of life. You can't change their thought process.”The video, which he says started as a way to simply express what the guys he's worked with have all experienced, has resulted in over 12,000 emails and the possible loss of his job. He described his reaction to the overwhelming attention:
“As this goes on, I'm actually kind of annoyed that people are treating me the way they're treating me because I actually spoke the truth. I shed light on a conversation that I had, with the people that I had to work with every single day — that I know hate my guts. They hate us, so much.”Based on his first-hand experience over a 10-year career as a Marine and his job as a PSD team leader in the Middle East, Gern identified a contrast between the mindset in America and other countries. He explained the difference to IJR:
“As an American we have a tendency to accept people for who they are, and what they are. We accept them and are tolerant. Other countries are not tolerant towards Americans.”Instead of continuing to pour money into a country that rejects our way of life, Gern suggested the money be used on Americans who need it, such as the homeless or the veterans who are now living on the streets.
Despite the unexpected and potentially job-costing consequences, Steve Gern has only been driven further in his resolve to continue to speak out for his beliefs. He told IJR, “Now that I see what is happening, I will not be silenced.”
