Looks like I missed those. I did, however see lots of war crimes, manufactured starvation and kids blown to smithereens.

But I digress.

Nothing would hearten me more than to see our youth rise up against the fascism and brutality of the Trump Regime, as they did against the genocide.

But you know what? They would meet the same fate on campus now as the anti-genocide protesters did. Silenced, expelled, deported, jailed, blacklisted etc. Protests on campus have been criminalized and severely restricted.

It's a case of be careful what you wish for....
