I can’t upload all the pictures and videos because they’re too big apparently! But it was fucking awesome. At least 150,000 people were there marching for Palestine and SCREAMING the “Biden, Biden, you can’t hide, you’re funding a genocide” chants. It was genuinely so hopeful and refreshing. It was made very clear that this was only the beginning of more direct action that will have consequences and force the hand of our dictators of capital. We spray painted a McDonald’s window “GAZA” (in minecraft of course) and screamed “Fuck McDonald’s” because we’re boycotting Starbucks and McDonald’s. I met a few pretty relevant tiktokers and Karina Garcia, the PSL’s presidential candidate’s VP!

Overall a fucking wonderful experience and I’m going to bring this energy back home. Like I said this is only the beginning and it really is showing some serious dedication and revolutionary intent.

Check out answercoalition on Instagram to see the size of the crowd and some of the speeches. I’ll see if I can link pictures in the comments below.

FUCK THE AMERICAN WAR MACHINE, WE WILL SEE A FREE PALESTINE AND A SOCIALIST WORLD IN OUR LIFETIME

            The speeches were great; and I see you got a video of the 2 guys on the building! I am also a little off to the side of one of your photos out of frame. I clearly remember that protester with the flag staff with an eagle on it. We were pretty close by!

            For saying that I’m on bus home after a 300.000 man march?

            If it’s for the identifying information, I could care less. There are probably 2 people in my life who could identify me with that information, and even then it’s so vague that there’s limitless plausible deniability.

              I actually agree with you and I was doing the side-eyes as an intended message of “right along there with you” but I guess it was lost in the emoji translation.

                Lol, my bad, I’m probably just to tired, I thought you were trying to say that I was baiting like a fed lmao.

                But yeah, sorry about the misunderstanding.
