the new york times is not a trustworthy outlet for critical thinking people

'only chant from the chant sheet' ok this is just too crazy there are children digging in the rubble for their parents

just spit water all over the screen reading this

there are like 70 tents at the CCNY camp with many people connecting US colonialism in puerto rico to ongoing attacks on gaza. 'we need less de-escalation trainings and more escalation trainings!'

In a world that is truly upside down, those who regulate 'peace' are the lapdogs of those who make war.

they found out

lol who did this (don't answer)

republican governors deployed state patrol all over to attack protesters as a way to ramp up internal tension ahead of the election, to make biden look bad. instead of pointing this out, the dems cheerlead the violence, which they couldnt have done by themselves.

if you compare immediate police reactions to occupy wall street encampments (mildly antagonistic at first coordinated crack down later) to right now (coordinated hyperantagonism at fist, mild hostility later) you have to just admit that everything is topsy turvy and going to hell

AFFINITY GROUP = STREET GANG WITH AN ANALYSIS

'In the eyes of our enemies in the Belly of the Beast, we are all outside agitators.'

'If we force open the gates of the university...they are ours for the taking.'

This is a movement to stop the genocide.

Not a student movement, not a party’s movement, not a movement that “outside agitators” can’t take part in.
