“A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months.”

“Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad.”

"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”

      Right on target for them, really. They responsed to our protesting police brutality with tear gas and even more brutality. Then came the excuses, the gaslighting, the absolution of their responsibility, the beatings are for our own good, really.

      True story in fact, keep an eye on your local PDs press releases, yr mayor’s statements, and you see every clinical pattern of abuse that exists on prominent display. It’s an unhealthy relationship and at least THEY know it, which is why phrases like “controlling the narrative” exist in the place of “telling the truth”.
