I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.
in sudan those are our children.
in palestine those are our children.
in haiti those are our children.
in the congo those are our children.
on these college campuses, those are our children.
*all* of the children are ours and we’ve gifted them a world that feeds on them.
the student uprisings of the 1960s were considerably more violent than anything you are seeing today. it is not close. students at kent state burned the ROTC building to the ground. when black students took over a building at cornell in 1969, they did it **with guns**
As predicted, here comes a regular stream of "Trump will be even MORE genocide-ier than Biden, so you better do the adult thing and vote for the maybe slightly less genocide-ish guy who kicked this whole thing off with a big pile of bombs!":

Something that's real fucked up about moments like this, when the veil slips, is that 6 months from now even a lot of leftists will be telling you that it's naive, childish, and hyperbolic to invoke the term "fascism"
Its never going to look exactly like it looked in the 20th century, but we are clearly witnessing the brick wall that this runs into over and over again. This is always the outcome
the mass death and pathetic protests, all the wasted time and energy of billions of living and dead bodies over the millennia that didn't have to be
just go in a throw the evil motherfuckers out

Noticing some folks reasoning that particular students don't deserve a militant police response bc they are "peaceful." I don't care if students break windows, shove back, or throw things; none of them deserve a militarized police response. They're protesting a genocide.
Folks should be careful about conjuring standards that determine whether someone is deserving of police violence. It's enough to say that the people protesting a genocide should not be harmed.
I'm not even sure whose values are being appealed to half the time. If people were really worried about "violence," they'd be objecting to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
I'm not saying we shouldn't correct mischaracterizations of events. The truth is important. But let's remember that "violence" functions as an elastic concept in this society. We're surrounded by violence, but as long as people cooperate with authority, we're told it's peace.
I say this as someone who has been part of protests that were characterized as "violent" and deserving of violence, as well as movement work that some critics tried to hold up as emblematic of "how it should be done." I don't buy into any of that divisive bullshit.
Notice who standards of "violence" exist for and who they never seem to apply to. You cannot win the battle of "peacefulness" because these characterizations have never been grounded in reality or based in any good faith. Kind of like the law: who does it actually apply to?
All these grown ass men with full body armor, weapons and military vehicles against kids with signs and a real cause. Every last one of those NYPD entering campus is an embarrassment to the city and the country. Weak, stupid, followers who deserve neither a salary nor any…
It was an honor to give President Trump my latest artwork of our beautiful first lady Melania, and I hope it brings him as much joy on his bedroom walls as it did ours!
