Federal and local law enforcement officers smashed their way into the Michigan homes of pro-Palestine student organizers on Wednesday in what the state attorney general’s office said was a vandalism probe—but critics called an attack on dissent against Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.

  • I love how Dems aren’t really helping their image as fascist collaborators. It is just what we need right now.

    Who are the only decent Dems in the country right now? AOC Bern Pritzker Walz?

      This and just what, one or two days ago, the entirety of House Dems voted with all but two House Republicans to approve an internet censorship bill that Trump said he would use to silence his enemies? The only two to vote against it were Republicans. The bill is now headed to Trump to sign into law. These two parties are just two sides of the same coin.

        You need to get out more. I didn’t make up the name Blue MAGA, it’s been out there and they have earned it.

            The Democrats are the ones making it a thing by talking about how much they oppose Trump but they are just powerless to do anything without more money from the rubes and simps that still think the Dems are on our side. Then turning around and voting for Trump’s internet censorship powers 409 to 2, voting to confirm all of his incompetent Nazi cabinet picks, not impeaching him, and supporting genocide. The Democrats are right-wing extremists in their actions and centrists in rhetoric. They can’t even see the left from where they are. When last I checked, supporting genocide is about as far to the right as it gets.

    For those who are unaware, U of M Ann Arbor has a strong Jewish influence from affluent East Coast students from New York and New Jersey.

    There is also a strong Muslim representation from the large communities in and around Detroit.

    It’s one spot in the country where the two ideologies will directly clash. I would imagine the University is treading on thin ice trying to appease wealthy donors and the students at one of the most progressive campuses in the country.
