Beware of capitulation to evil masquerading as maturity. There’s a lot of that going around right now

Truly shut the fuck up, that made up crap is the only thing we hear. We’re in fact sick to death of hearing it

It comes as no surprise that students are met with such severe repression—this is not to legitimize or normalize their suffering, for even if foreseen, when it unfolds, it remains as unjust and shocking as ever. Palestine persists as an anomaly in the corridors of empire, her
