I can't do much at the moment from my home in Ohio, but just wanted you all to know we stand with you and are thinking about you.

Also, fuck the police.

Free Palestine!

Fucking hell, the media can't even bring themselves to say the word "genocide." It's not even that they have to say it as if it is their judgement, it would just be reporting what the protestors allege is happening. I guess the trouble is that the media can't report the allegations of genocide because they're too on-the-nose to credibly refute.

Yeah the optics are shit and hard to massage. You have to make it about protesting being violence and antisemitism because there's no way to sugarcoat all the dead children in Gaza and the rolling discovery of mass graves.

Biden won't let them. Why do you think they suddenly care about shutting down tiktok? Its the only platform they can't bully into censorship.
