We're already in the authoritarian regime everyone is worried is coming.
The rich donors pull the strings at universities and government. Lots of Zionists among them
We have to fight back matter who wins
The question is, how fast do you want it to get worse?
If you believe the premise, the answer to that question is moot, friend.
I’ve been watching it unfold live for my entire life. Republicans, especially Trump, push capitalism into overdrive at the cost of the environment, workers wages and safety, and support of the most vulnerable members of society. Democrats will never fix everything, but they absolutely moderate and slow the progression of inequality.
Lol it can always get worse, especially when one of only two options tells you how much they're going to make it worse for everyone.
This is just more bOtH sIdEs bullshit....
Goddamn feels good to have someone else say it. I mean it feels bad, too. Mostly bad
more than 2,400 students have been arrested amid protests on more than 50 campuses.
So...
About twice as many as 1/6?

Peacefully protesting Biden's pet genocide is getting treated twice as strict as trump trying to prevent Biden from taking office. And a hell of a lot faster.
Negotiating with "moderate" Dems doesn't work, they've spent too long cozzi g up to republicans, they think k like them now. Why listen to protestors when you can just use violence? What are they going to do, not vote Biden?
Love how you foreign agents immediately make it all about Biden. Is he the King of Israel or King of America? Pretty sure it's neither. Shut up already with the propaganda
Hi, foreign agent here.
I am part of a secret plot to manipulate the US in a devious plan to…. check notes… get Biden to stop directly enabling genocide by continuously bringing up and forcing him to deal with it politically instead of just sweeping 50,000+ innocent Palestinians lives under the rug.
It is the perfect evil plan.
Well is he the President? Is he the leader of the government? Is he the one that continues to pledge weapons and money to Israel and continue to block Palestine at the UN? Is he the one that held back the state department report on Israeli war crimes committed with US weapons and now had it toned down to "yeah we think they did, but we aren't entirely sure." Is he the one whose ambassador recently assured the Israeli government that he is a fully convinced Zionist? Is he the one that made bogus claims about antisemitism and violent protests?
Or is he just some poor slop that has nothing to do with all of this?
👏👏👏
givesomefucks spews the same narrative on every post, regardless of relevance. They wrote a wall of text about Biden and Israel on a post about the NYPD manipulating disciplinary records. Just unrelated nonsense.
Further down, I commented the identical response I made the last time they compared Biden’s criticism of disorderly conduct to Trump’s criticism of BLM protests. Just the same baseless claims over and over.
Ah yes, local police forces who have their own jurisdiction arresting protesters on the spot is exactly the same as Trump hampering the federal response necessary to deal with the Jan 6th traitors who were allowed to disperse.
We get it, you want Trump to win. You are indeed very smart.
We don't want Trump to win. We want an end to the genocide and justice for the Palestinian people. Why do the Dems and you prefer Trump to win over ending a fucking genocide?
The administration had every chance and still has every chance to end this genocide and work towards justice. They choose every day to let it continue, giving token pledges at best.
I wonder if a general strike with teachers and students is incoming. If there's one place where protesting any issue is born and should always be allowed, is a college or university. If you're not allowed to protest there, no way you'll ever be allowed to in a public space. Trying to break their spirits before they get to be full adults.
Yus, the proper way to deal with peaceful protestors is violence /s
We need to find a way to send those responsible, a message. One they might remember.
This whole thing is starting to develop a real 1968 feels--and of course the DNC convention is in Chicago this year . . .
