hearing your mutuals voices for the first time is wild some of them are literally british

#hearing mutuals voices is like 😮‍💨 #but then there’s me who hates my own voice and have no idea why anyone would want to hear my own #i always wonder what people think my voice should sound like & then what they think when they hear it 😅

Various college students are showing up in droves to protest against the ongoing genocide that is currently happening in Palestine.

And yet the people who have the biggest online platforms continue to stay silent out of fear of getting blacklisted or fired.

What a goddamn time to be alive.

How we've trained our kids - to not protest peacefully

My son (18) asked me what I thought about the video of protestors barricading themselves in a building and then hitting a cop on the head with a large water jug.

I told him that was not a peaceful protest and that what I was taught when I first became an activist is to never resist arrest. Then I told him what my dad told me. Don't ever hang out with people who throw rocks at men with guns. Throwing rocks at men with guns isn't a smart thing to do.

My son stared at me.

Then he said - you know my entire life I've been taught to rush at men with guns and throw things at them and hit them and do whatever you need to do to get the gun away from them. And if you die doing this - at least you may save some of your classmates and friends in the process and die a hero.

WTF!!!!!

This is what he has been taught in every active shooter drill , which is twice a year for the entire time he's been in school. All because instead of keeping guns away from nut cases, we've taught kindergartners and up that if you can't hide from a man with a gun you should rush the gunman and hit them with whatever you have handy.

Cops - in case you were not aware - are men with guns. A man with a gun is a man with a gun, even if they are cops. If they are threatening you - this is what they have been taught to do. And it's the cops who taught them to do this!!!!

These protestors are doing EXACTLY what we've taught young people to do for decades now. If someone with a gun approaches, barricade the door and if they try to enter - hurl things at them - just - mob them as a group and get the gun away from them.

This is insane. This is what conservatives have turned our country into. Every single effing conservative who is complaining about the protests, if you didn't want young people to act this way - you should not have insisted we teach them this heroic fantasies about rushing gunmen like it's some sort of action movie. It would have been safer for everyone - if we just regulated guns!!!!!

For everyone else, be aware, our kids will respond instinctively to a man with a gun - even a cop - exactly as they've been trained to.

#this is the exact thing i said the other day!!!! #they taught them these skills & are now mad that they’re implementing them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Apparently not treating a solidarity encampment for genocide like a frat party is a Hamas thing...

#these people are so out of touch like wtf
