“If you’re not standing with our youth, then you’re the fucking problem.” (-Thia Ballerina)

“We’ll start to see more heavy crackdowns on any kind of dissent in any way as the US becomes more desperate to control the narrative with a population that is becoming more aware of how flagrant the US hypocrisy and lies have become, as we all begin to see the US is the bad guy” (-American Socialist)

“Neither Biden nor Trump is trying to “win votes.”

The fascist agenda has been set by the billionaire owner class & our votes & voices have been pre-negated. Please pay attention.” (-Free Palestine No Masters)

“No matter what he does from this point on, Joe Biden will never not be Genocide Joe. I hate him profoundly.” (-Dan Kervick)

“In my 20+ years of activism I’ve never seen this level of police response to so little provocation. The student protests have hit a nerve, and are honestly more threatening to power than I (or likely most anyone) would have guessed” (-Margaret Killjoy)

“As shamefully low as the bar for this metric is, our government has never been more on the wrong side of history in living memory

It is beyond sickening” (-Jason Call)

“Right-wingers who “support Israel” as a proxy for their disdain of left-wing protesters are the functional equivalent of Libs who “support Ukraine” as a proxy for their disdain of Trump/MAGA.

He was arrested in December at a hospital while caring for patients. Biden says student protesters are motivated by hate. That’s a lie! Students are rising up to stop atrocities like… https://t.co/yySRwDzLnC” / X (twitter.com)

“Democrats are doing an amazing job of making it easier for Trump to declare martial law and outlaw protest in 2025.” (-Chuck)

“when we were illegally held at central booking for over 24 hrs the pigs played a 15 minute video on loop about rape and sexual abuse in prison. over and over and over again for hours on end.” (-Tai Free Them All Lee)

“It’s telling that the peaceful protesters were condemned as being a violent racist mob by the same people who haven’t said shit about the violent racist mob that attacked them, beating on 19-year-old girls and hitting people with wooden pallets” (-Tiberius)

“Biden has issued more “red lines” with American protesters than he has with Netanyahu.” (-Samuel Sinyangwe)

“So many people on here would’ve been cheering for the cops cracking heads at Stonewall, huh” (-Isi Baehr-Breen)

“Saint Biden, the prophet of peace, proclaimed this morning that “it’s against the law when violence occurs.”

Aside from the fact that the violence is *entirely on the side of the police and right-wing thugs* suppressing campus protests, his incoherent 3-minute rant was directed at defending violence on a colossal scale–a genocide that has killed more than 34,000 people. Such is the hypocrisy of imperialism.” (-Joseph Kishore)

” Banning criticism of Israel. Seizing TikTok. Unleashing brownshirt thugs. Coordinated police state crackdown on protest and dissent. Funding and arming genocide. Inviting Nazis to speak to Parliaments. US, Canada, Germany,France – the reactionary west is sick and panicked.” (-Dan Kervick)

“I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop. I don’t think it’s an extremist thing to do anymore. I still really want to dance around to Pat Benatar and have boyfriends and make comics for my coworkers. But I also want this to stop. Disbelief and horror is what I feel. Disappointment. I am disappointed that this is the base reality of our world and that we, in fact, participate in it. This is not at all what I asked for when I came into this world. This is not at all what the people here asked for when they came into this world. This is not the world you and Dad wanted me to come into when you decided to have me. This is not what I meant when I looked at Capital Lake and said: “This is the wide world and I’m coming to it.” I did not mean that I was coming into a world where I could live a comfortable life and possibly, with no effort at all, exist in complete unawareness of my participation in genocide.” (-Rachel Corrie)

“What’s really sad is that some people are so brainwashed that they can’t conceive that college kids might independently want to protest Israel’s genocide.

Like the only way someone could ever even pretend to empathize with the children of Gaza is because they are being paid to.” (-Primo Radical)

“We need a movement in the United States to restore constitutional rule” (-Anya Parampil)

“For some odd reason, the people NOT engaged in active resistance think they understand how dire things are, they know better than those protesting

It’s the opposite, actually. Current events show genocide & police repression is THE agenda. Period(.) Complacency isn’t safety.” (-Free Palestine, No Masters)

All of our protests about police brutality have been shut down. From Tamir Rice to Mike Brown to Sandra Bland to Philando Castillo to Alton Sterling and the list goes on and on. It’s weird liberals try to pretend that Dems don’t consistently crush protests against state power. ” (-Commie Cunt)

” VoteBlue people could have spent the last 7 months convincing their party not to support genocide, but instead they spent 7 months telling us we’re childish and that the other candidate is worse. These are not good people. They are foot soldiers of white supremacy.” (-Lexi Alex)

They are a tag team who take money and marching orders from the same megadonors.” (-Ban Tasers)

“It’s crazy! When actual Nazis and White supremacists protest saying “There will be blood” and “Jews will not replace us” There is no action by police. When peaceful students protest a genocide there are violent arrests by police who even use rubber bullets & more on protestors!” (-Peper Oceanna)

“The only reason why the U.S. Congress just voted to criminalize criticism of Israel is that the anti-genocide protests are actually working.

AIPAC is clearly getting scared that the American People might start waking up to the reality of what has happened to their “democracy.”’ (-Primo Radical)

““Protestors are ruining their careers” is such absolute garbage. Don’t you fucking get it? We’re going to create a society where people who support genocide are the ones ostracised, not those who object to it — and we won’t stop until we do. The future is ours, not yours.” (-Tiberius)

“Have you ever noticed how the spinmeisters responsible for normalizing our dystopian status quo use time as a psychological weapon? It’s the damnedest thing. They push all support for revolutionary change into either the past or the future, while insisting that status quo norms must be maintained in the present.

Once you notice this tactic, you see it everywhere. When they’re not shaking their fists at the crimes of the past like Vietnam, Iraq or segregation and applauding past struggles for social justice like women’s suffrage or Black civil rights, they’re claiming that you can get all the drastic revolutionary change you want in the future if you just elect more Democrats into office. Over and over again in many different ways, people are fed the message: “Revolution and change are wonderful, just not right now. The revolutionary sentiments of the past did great things we should all celebrate, and one day in the future we will have revolutionary change once again, but right now we need to keep supporting the way things are and hold very still and try very hard not to annoy the powerful people who rule over us.” It’s actually kind of impressive once you notice it, because this malignant manipulation requires an almost buddha-like understanding of time and the present moment. At some point the manipulators figured out that there’s only ever the here-and-now and that the past and the future have no existence except in our memory and imagination, so you can give the people all the revolution they want so long as you’re only giving it to them in the past or the future.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)

“NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE! This should be a general practice but even more necessary when arrested! Don’t say anything other than “I want a lawyer”. Even the smallest, most insignificant thing can be used against you. Do not talk to the cops!!!” (-ORGANIZE!)

“Israel one of the technologically advanced and humane Armies have murdered 15,000 children in 7 months “Defending themselves”
