    Civil disobedience that involves trespassing and blocking traffic are actually crimes.

    When have College students protesting against a GENOCIDE and APARTHEID not been validated and celebrated in history? The Government and Police have always looked horrible

  • To protesters: if you don’t vote for Biden you’re voting for Trump, who’s Bibi’s alter ego.
  • The civil disobedience involves supporting Hamas terrorism. These people are supporting terrorism. Their hate in their bitterness is overwhelming.
  • Anybody who is arrested or causes damage or harm to someone should not have loan debt forgiveness.

  • As a proud liberal college student who has taken a class in psychology and therefore knows everything, I support whatever TikTok tells me to support. I will show my support by putting whichever tag by my name will get me the most likes. I stand for whatever I'm supposed to stand for even though I know absolutely nothing about what I support.
