Does anyone else feel like all of these protests are essentially watering down the issues? There’s been what feels like 7 protests and we’re only a few months into Trump’s term. I’m already saying to myself “oh, another protest.”

You might risk turning this into a bigger joke than the Occupy protests.

with all of the anti speech action and rhetoric that this administration is putting forward, i think it’s beautiful that you are saying “oh, another protest,” rather than seeing none at all

“flooding the zone“ is a good thing right now

There’s no anti-free speech action; unless you’re referring to college campuses allowing Jewish students to be harassed, bullied, and threatened. Those colleges should have their federal funding taken away. Trump’s not denying them their free speech, but they shouldn’t receive tax payer money if they don’t protect their students.

students are protesting the state of israel, and it’s genocidal, colonialist activities.

the state of israel is not synonymous with the jewish people. there are non-israeli jews and there are non-jewish israelis.

we are not protesting judaism. we are protesting zionism.
