As a former college grad I can safely say, students WANT the big pomp & circumstance of #commencement to celebrate the achievement.

WASHINGTON — Amid growing protests on college campuses by pro-Palestinian demonstrators, the White House is planning for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to have a minimal presence for a traditional rite of spring: delivering commencement addresses.

Instead of limiting appearances, the Biden government could more readily limit (or better, cease) the amount of weapons that cause death & destruction to government of Israel.

Anyone who claims to know exactly what’s going on right now and what exactly is about to happen is full of shit. This is one of those moments when we all need to slow down and be skeptical of most “information” out there. The best weapons of propagandists are fear and confusion.

Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible.

Manson didn’t kill anyone himself. But he was responsible.
