I made the mistake of listening to NPR this morning. Apparently “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free” is hate speech.
There’s this misinfo going around that because Hamas uses it like every single other Palestinian liberation group, that it’s a “Hamas term.”
Even though it was in use decades before Hamas even existed. But what the fuck is objective reality to liberals?
My lifelong dream of never setting foot on American soil has come to an end. 😞
Went to a march for Palestine yesterday. I’m in a pretty progressive city, but it was still surprising just how many people showed up and how many bystanders showed their support. There are thousands of people marching every day for Palestine all over the country and the media is just ignoring it.
We marched on Saturday and I had never seen so many riot 🐷, when the march reached the highway ramp they pulled out AR-15s, harass and beat up front marchers. So instead everyone turned down to Lakeshore. Unmarked 🐖 van with mounted cam was monitoring everyone. Though still, thousand of people came out to show solidarity. Possibly the largest Palestinian rally since 2021 that was 10,000 turnouts.
I’ve been so damn busy but I can’t not tune in to the 'Grad on occasion when I come across lib brainrot and need to find some sanity. Thank you comrades for giving me that space.
I got called a softie by a woman for drinking tea today. Tea. And this isn’t the first time for drinking tea either lol.
People and their views on masculinity keep on being insane.
Tea is wonderful, what kind were you drinking? Oolong is probably my favourite, I got some fancy tea oolong from Taiwan and it’s the next tea I’ve ever had. It’s called 金萱 (Jin Xuan), also called milk oolong at least by my mainland friend.
A friend got some from a local Chinese supermarket, it was wonderful. I really need to get some one day.
