Small town VT No Kings had over 300 people show up. Every speaker mentioned Palestine. Tents set up to plug people into mutual aid, immigration defense, and Palestinian liberation. I also handed out a few copies of Let This Radicalize You for free to people who wanted to learn more about organizing.

They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
