Never forget this picture of who the cops are: a policeman pointing a gun at a man who gave the ultimate sacrifice in protest of the genocide of Palestinians.
This cop kept his gun pointed at a man on fire while the EMTs tried to help and put the fire out. RIP Aaron Bushnell

At this point, the refusal to decry this violent absurdity for what it is, is an ideological commitment to settler colonialism and apartheid as a legitimate form of sovereignty. The Third World settled that debate bw 1955 &1991. Here we r again in 2024, Palestine as flashpoint.

Our speech: “Northrop Grumman lied to us tonight! We were told we could land dream internships, but we weren’t told we’d be mingling with war-mongers. Northrop Grumman are complicit in the killing of over 24,000 Palestinians in the last 100 days. We do not dream of genocide!“

When I was at UCSB half of our capstone projects were partnerships with military contractors. Good on these students for trying to break up that partnership.
