The protests at Emory university in Atlanta have been met with the most violent police brutality by far. Students have been tased, tear gassed shot with rubber bullets and THEY WILL NOT STOP because they are courageous Beings with a heart to match and the common people will not accept anything less than a Free Palestine 🙏🍉

Hey, vote-Blue-no-matter-who people, remember when cops used rubber bullets during the BLM protests and you condemned Trump for not taking a stand against police brutality?

Well, cops are using rubber bullets against pro-Palestine protesters.

Here's a pic of cops tasing a restrained student:

Here's a pic of snipers on the roof at Ohio State University:

And Biden has not come out against these acts.

He has called protesters antisemitic.

Hey, vote blue even for Nazis folk: I thought Biden was against gun violence.

392 bodies in total have been recovered from three mass graves in Gaza. A few days ago, the known total was around 310. There's every possibility there are more to be discovered.

I need people to understand what rubber bullets are. So many people hear them and picture something akin to Nerf gun darts but harder.

These are rubber bullets:

Yes, they can permanemtly disfigure and even kill people.

Minutes ago: Atlanta cops tasing a restrained student protester at Emory University

Police at Emory University are using tasers, tear gas, and rubber bullets on student protesters.

Here are rubber bullets for those of you who don't know what they look like:

And I also think it's important to recognize how it ties to freedom in general.

The main cause is Palestine. But they absolutely relate to freedom if speech and freedom to protest.

I think students are realizing the danger in cops being able to arrest anyone who protests against genocide. If they back down now, then it tells cops and politicians that people will just accept violations of freedom of speech and freedom to protest.

I'm not a college student, and many of us on Tumblr aren't. But we should all be contacting our reps to demand they speak out against both genocide and the arrests of peaceful protesters.

According to Democrats, it's the ones calling for a ceasefire, not the ones committing genocide, who are dangerous.

Protesters calling for Israel to cease fire in its war with Hamas who have disrupted US public events and infrastructure are practicing “leftwing fascism” or “leftwing totalitarianism”, a senior US House Democrat said, adding that such protesters are “challenging representative democracy” and should be arrested. “Intimidation is the tactic,” said Adam Smith of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the House armed services committee. “Intimidation and an effort to silence opposition … I don’t know if there’s such a thing as leftwing fascism. If you want to just call it leftwing totalitarianism, then that’s what it is. It is a direct challenge to representative democracy now.” ... “But [the protesters’] goal and their objective was not to get their point across. It was to silence anyone who dared to disagree with them, to make sure that only one voice was heard. And their other goal was to intimidate. That’s why they’re showing up at member’s houses.”

The only votes on this have been from representatives. The majority of Americans support a ceasefire...but their representatives have ignored them.

But Adam Schifff feels that it's the civilians demanding their reps represent them and call for a ceasefire, not the reps who decided to commit genocide and ignore the people they represent, who are dangerous.

The one thing I learned from studying the Vietnam War is that anti-war movements are a great catalyst for broader systemic change. Every major movement in the 60s and 70s was closely tied to the anti-war movement. In many groups, their civil rights/environmental activism and anti-war activism was one and the same. Because all of this is connected. The same people who deny women their bodily autonomy, deny black, gay, and trans people their right to fully participate in public life, who allow corporations to exploit their workers and poison the environment, are the same people who bomb innocent civilians in foreign countries. All of these struggles are connected. And a government that expends enormous energy trying to fight a war overseas while simultaneously stifling activist groups and mass demonstrations at home is going to exhaust itself, and will eventually buckle if it doesn’t compromise.
