School of the Art Institute of Chicago Strips Kanye West of his Honorary Degree

Kanye West Pulls Out of Coachella Reports Variety | Change.org Petition inches to 50,000
/
AOC noted last week in what must be ‘10 Great Reasons for Kanye West Not to Play Coachella’, that the divine rapper, who gets his instructions from God in the shower, was defying the owners of the Coachella Festival, who dropped Travis Scott from the schedule after the Astroworld tragedy.
Variety wrote that Kanye had nothing prepared for Coachella, North America’s largest music festival. Kanye is very aggrieved over what he calls the #MeToo mentality.
As a result he has welcomed Marilyn Manson, who is accused of serious sexual assault and proudly claimed that he had a rape room according to Rolling Stone, into his divine inner circle of holy men. Rolling Stone interviewed 55 people in their investigation Marilyn Manson: The Monster in Plain Sight.
Kanye wasn’t having it, choosing to invite Manson into his divine sanctuary, seeing Manson as a victim and all his accusers as the Devil’s women.
Read MoreRemove Kanye from Coachella Petition Just Shy of 50,000 | Kanye on Ellen Blows My Mind
/As the Remove Kanye from Coachella Petition cross 49,000 on the way to 50,000 signatures on March 29, Kanye’s honoring of Vladimir Putin’s throwing his opponent to the mat is chilling. Note though, that in Ye’s tweet, he is comparing himself to Putin’s style.
Two months before the election on Sept. 16, 2020, as he sought to be president of America, Kanye — like his good friend Donald Trump — felt totally comfortable celebrating Putin’s style of getting his point across. I don’t mean to be the armchair psychologist with no degree, but I note as an educated woman that Kanye steps into the Putin image metaphorically, writing “Rule Number one: Listen to Ye.”
Now Kanye West will tell you that he wouldn’t hurt a fly, but if you are seriously practicing ubuntu in the universe, you don’t 1) identify with Putin — although Kanye’s right-wing evangelicals loved Putin as the world’s top backer of Christianity as God ordered it; 2) write “Rule Number One” which is more authoritarian talk and 3) and order us to “Listen to Ye.” Kanye’s hubris is just staggering.

/I guess MacKenzie Scott’s [formerly Mrs. Jeff Bezos] $275 million gift to Planned Parenthood announced Wednesday, March 23 warrants another call to God from Kanye’s shower. This is where Ye gets his marching orders that terrorize so many of us.
To be called a white supremacist by Kanye West, because I support Planned Parenthood, is worse than being hunted by one of Kanye’s ‘kind’, landing me in police protection for a year as this dude was seriously stalking me with a promise to kill me.
Imagine getting up every morning to a bloody, decapitated animal in a box on your front doorstep. Imagine walking out to your car at night after shopping at the local mall. There’s a noose on your door handle — matching the box of rope left on your doorstep that morning with the note “This is the rope I will hang you with, B#tch.”
That nightmare was in the past, and It’s 2022. Kanye West was running for president of the United States in 2020 — when he expressed his view about those of us who do the devil’s work. Uber religious men have a habit of calling women like me Devils.
Read MoreNo Kanye at Coachella! Petition Passes 35,000 | Kanye Gave 'No Touch' Orders on Skete
/Hey, GAP. You can chill now! Kanye West Gave ‘No Touch’ Orders on Skete According to Wack 100
Here you go GAP Execs. Your investors are searching for info on Kanye’s state of mind, so you guys better be up on the latest Google News that Kanye wants Skete for himself.
Wack says that Kanye doesn’t want his peeps messing with Skete — “presumably because he wants to fight his own battle.” It does sound like Kanye has ordered nobody to take Skete out, mess him up, accuse Pete of shooting up one of the kids with drugs, carve up Kim Kardashian’s name with a knife on his chest . . . nothin’ . . . you know, the sorta thing really hip men do when they have scores to settle.
When asked by No Jumper host Adam22 what he’d do if he ran into the SNL comedian, Wack replied, “Skete can’t be around me. He gotta roll it up. Kanye gave specific instructions for nobody to touch Skete. He told us ‘do not touch Skete, don’t put our hands on Skete, don’t say nothing disrespectful to Skete.'”
Skete belongs to Kanye, GAP. If you can talk some sense into Ye, we might be able to save Pete.

Update: The petition has crossed 30,000 at noon today and should be 35,000 Wed. am 3/23. This is the best day so far, and it’s because of online media coverage. We’re still plodding along in a turtle and the hare story. Multiple well-written, well-reasoned articles were written today. See lots of new outbound links below.
We have watched it very closely and this is an American signing audience [very few through the night] and AOC estimates 70% female of every skin color, BUT today looks like more guys — like 65/35%. It could move to 60/40% — as it’s more guys’ names we’re noticing. Yes, Kanye, I can tell.
Why We Are Signing This Petition to Have Kanye Not Perform at Coachella
People who are signing this petition don’t trust Kanye West not to hurt somebody or start a riot at Coachella. What we have witnessed from him in the last 90 days is totally frightening. I am so concerned that for weeks I got up and the first thing I checked at 6am was whether Ye had harmed his now ex-wife.
Kanye has taken me back to all of my 2008-2014 work in Sudan, to stop the brutal flogging of women in the name of Allah.
For a few years, those videos of Sudanese women being brutally flogged were smuggled out to me, as the government enforcers always took them down on Facebook due to violent content standards. The women knew they could count on me to keep the videos alive, working with a male editor at Bloomberg who then got the New York Times to write the articles also.
Today, we’re all supposed to sit here like morons while Kanye gets up on stage at Coachella, with a high probability of going on some crazy rant against women, against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, against Planned Parenthood and Pete Davidson.
We say NO! I’m not cancelling you, Ye. I am worried that you might start a total riot. Or harm yourself. And you’ve got an easy out, Kanye. Blame Billie Eilish who didn’t apologize to Travis Scott for caring about fans at her concert.
You told the world that if Billie didn’t apologize, you weren’t coming to Coachella. Billie was, of course, as gracious as she could be about your accusations. Keep your word, Kanye.
You cannot be trusted ever to keep your mouth shut, because nobody tells Kanye West what to do.
