She said those young people are the future. Not of this country. They're going to be the people who have to rely on the minimum wage being a living wage.

The Democrat convention is gonna be INSANE! 🤭

Good old Chicago. Where leadership sits on their hands and blames others.

Change the world by what? Getting locked up for the night ?

I just had some crazy dude walk by me in our smallish town chanting “down with the Jews”. I’m not Jewish but it’s obvious what is happening and it is disturbing and awful.

Not students, stop painting the fence……they’re just getting money

Some guy in Iran (Toomaj Salehi), just got the death sentence for protesting 2022.

typical downtown weekend, random protest, idiot dirt bikers running reds. just missing the teen mobs.

Why dont they go to israel or gaza to have these protests? Better yet take it to DC where the money is being funneled from our taxes via the mega bills. What do these students think the UNIVERSITIES should be doing? The schools shouldnt be taking any specific stance at all on this topic and the young people running around with masks on arent really *risking* their safety. They want to participate in civil disorder but save their future job prospects. 🤷‍♀️

China funded disruptions targeting US universities. Look for a big drop in average GPA this term.

"Terrorist sympathizers clash with police" There, fixed it for you.

[obsession_gaming]

Imagine if they protested actual issues like inflation and cost of living and gas prices like they do some desert around the world

Pro Palestinian supporters were demonstrating against who? I live in a small town where one could buy New York Times, S.F. Chronicle, SFExaminer before they closed shop, L A Times, our own Hanford Sentinal and The Fresno Bee. Yesterday one the front page of the Bee there was an announcement that beginning in July the Bee will only publish newspapers on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and will be delivered by mail. I guess this is because there aren't enough people buying newspapers. No newspapers then what's being read to keep up with world events? I got myself caught up on this rant because once again I ask, who are the pro Palestine and what are they protesting about? There seems to be alot of anti semitism and yes I know people are starving, hurt and even dying but the hammas started the conflict. Why are Pro Palistinian people seem to be threatening Jewish students causing universities stop graduating ceremonies? You protesters are trying to build empathy for the Palestinians who are suffering without giving thought to those non Jewish grads some of whom have family who have been looking forward to proudly sayour first college grad and now graduation day will only be remembered as Oh yes the year protesters ruined our graduation celebration. Again, are you protesting Hamas loudly cause I can't hear you?

Generation Z looks like a total write off lost cause. America should divest itself.

[makkansharifa]

The whole world is Palestine 🇵🇸. And all the people of the world are Palestinians.
