i'm 15-20 minutes away by train and I've had no interest in seeing what's about to go down.

All these on campus protests just remind me that this is a neverending issue.

Portland State University ‘pauses’ Boeing donations amid student protests

Students called on the school to cut ties with the weapons manufacturer, which donated $150,000 this year

Kinda feel like Boeing had some issues going on before Gaza though?

This whole protest movement is def a republican funded operation. Guarantee half of the ones tearing up n breaking stuff aren’t students and paid or not paid anarchists.

Insane that they whip up a massive army of militarized police to go after a few 20 year olds in a building. I can't recall such a heavy handed show of force to deal with something so relatively minor. It shows you who holds the power in this country.

These are students dipshyt. Who have they hurt?? Sticking rabid dogs at them and you seemingly agreeing with this must make you feel like a grown man.

They smashed open a door. Remember, Americans care more about property than humans.

Telling that CNN is having ex-mayors and ex-police on to speculate about what protesters are thinking as the police crack down.

Never, ever someone with actual experience protesting.

A mob of Zionists are now literally attacking the students in the UCLA encampment.

It’s the same thing they do with military coverage—bring in former military people and defense contract executives—and what they do for police violence, and labor unrest—bring in people who work with corporate firms. Issues with inflation, unemployment, healthcare—bring in PR people from those industries to only give the corporate voice.

These outlets speak for the capital class and nothing else.

Like @the cac mamba wouldn't also have been against the protests to divest from apartheid South Africa. You guys need to be serious, take a second to think about who you're arguing with.

Your daily reminder that he literally forms his political opinions by thinking, "How can I be the worst human being imaginable"

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

i'm not against the protests. i'm against the Democrats losing this election to Donald Trump over fukking Palestine

if you can't differentiate that, you're a fukking clown

In one breath you say Americans don’t care about this conflict in general and will have no bearing on the polls, and in the next you’re shaking in your boots about this being a decider in November. Which one is it?

I have a hard time buying these are students at this point


I hope Columbia picks up the tab and not taxpayers and most importantly that no one is hurt

I'm getting the same vibe too, while they're are some genuine folks who wants to see change, I have a feeling they're are protesters just there to make certain parties and/or group look bad.
