    Things I saw at my lib protest today

    • an older woman with that “sit down peaceful protest” viral thing printed out, laminated, pinned to her back
    • I was with the Palestine contingent at the start, and as we started a free Palestine chant another protester turns to us and says “from Hamas”
    • some European folks in sierra club garb saw my sign (chinga la migra) and asked if I knew Spanish, I said somewhat and they said people will be offended by it.
    • a sign that implied trump is a dictator with a thought bubble coming out of trump, in the thought bubble was a hammer and sickle (lmao)
    • a pro Joe Biden American/pride flag

    But also, plenty of Palestine chants, plenty of Palestine and Mexican flags, lots of keffiyehs, presence of all the good local orgs, and I only saw one trot

        I yelled at them a bit. Told her group we don’t need Zionist scum and they can either shut up and listen or go home, then she flipped me off.

        Like, you are here, obviously you agree that shits generally fucked, with the pressing matter of our neighbors being unceremoniously disappeared every day, but its more important that you defend Israel? I guess this is the Schumer demographic and is mad at Trump for not supporting Israel harder.
