Ah, my alma mater.

One of the first protests I was a part of ... way back in 08, was the very same issue, pro-Palestinian advocacy.

Back then we aimed at occupying a different building, but seeing as this new building (that didn't exist when I was there) was literally funded by Boeing, the MIC... yeah, its more fitting.

I never cared for football or anything, but uh Go Dawgs!

30 people in a country of 341,000,000.

It's a start, but a tiny trickle of what it needs to be for any change.

Yeah, but my point is that liberals love to claim against all evidence that the Genocide Joe stuff was a campaign by Russia/MAGA/Satan against the Democrats and that now that Trump is president nobody is protesting or criticizing US handling of the genocide.
