A group has occupied an academic building at the University of Washington, demanding the school sever ties with Boeing as the war in Gaza continues, according to the university and a spokesperson for the group.

    Ah, my alma mater.

    One of the first protests I was a part of … way back in 08, was the very same issue, pro-Palestinian advocacy.

    Back then we aimed at occupying a different building, but seeing as this new building (that didn’t exist when I was there) was literally funded by Boeing, the MIC… yeah, its more fitting.

    I never cared for football or anything, but uh Go Dawgs!

      30 people in a country of 341,000,000.

      It’s a start, but a tiny trickle of what it needs to be for any change.

        Yeah, but my point is that liberals love to claim against all evidence that the Genocide Joe stuff was a campaign by Russia/MAGA/Satan against the Democrats and that now that Trump is president nobody is protesting or criticizing US handling of the genocide.

    Well, there are a lot of these buildings all around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that universities aren’t safe.
