Can the United States apply consistent standards to pro-Palestine protesters as it does to protecting speech in favor of our country’s violence? No, it doesn’t seem like we can.

    2020 made that loud and clear. The people in power got fucking terrified at the idea that people might be reaching a critical mass of actually making substantive changes, and they violently and rapidly cracked down on it. They’re not going to let that happen again. Our government and our institutions since then have proven time and time again that they will burn this country to the ground before the will of the people is heard or respected.
