It's past midnight, and turnout of students and faculty has filled the entire plaza of Columbia University. An end to US complicity in the genocide of Gaza remains their focus, they insist, despite media attempts to divert attention to issues like student safety or free speech

when i say you will have to outmanuever the liberals, i mean it, b/c yes, the liberals are dirty as fuck. behind all the concern trolling are ppl trying to maintain law & order / the status quo at the expense of liberatory struggle.
