"Hijacked her graduation speech"

How do you hijack your own fucking speech assholes....

The official used the same logic and wording that is seen in the news the last decades ( centuries). It’s strange to hear because it’s not usually used like that.

But most Americans are immersed in such comparisons and language, designed to rob the target’s own agency, meant to dehumanize.

It’s rage inducing here because the usage is out of context.

Going off script? Most schools review your speech and hold you to it under threat of not conferring your diploma.

Fuck these fascist institutions. Solidarity with Leen and anyone who speaks out against genocide.

Isn’t that school named after the blind klansman

Not just the school, but the whole town. Mr. Bigsby would fit right in.

It's antisemitic to conflate antizionism with antisemitism
