Amir, a Marylander, walked up to me at the anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. and we discussed the rally, Ye, universities, Judith Butler & Bell Hooks, and the empire.

"I felt like I had to do something. I felt like my whole life this government was lying to me about almost everything around me. About who to hate, who the enemy is, about where to spend my energy on."

"I guess, after Bernie lost the first time did I actually get real suspicious about where I was getting information was, how inconsistent it was, how often those people were wrong and then never addressed that they were wrong and just moved onto the next thing."

"Of course I had to be here."

"It's a start man. I'd be lying to you if I said I feel good, strong, confident. This is like the beginning of a lot of work."

"What's the next step going to be, you know? I'm not trying to be dark or negative.

"We all agree that we don't want the imperial war machine, but it's going to take a long strategic, multi-step plan for how you mitigate that. I don't think people are going to be on the same page about the plan."

"What's going to happen for the next thing, man? The next psyop? The next Russia-Ukraine, how many people here are going to fall for that, you know? I'm always thinking about the next thing."

"I can't count how many times I've been disappointed by people when respected their intelligence but thought they would walk with more honor."

"You can have your opinions about what Ye said but you have to acknowledge with the systems of justice right now: There are people going after Ye harder for saying something that you disagree with vs people that actually rape children on goofy islands, okay?"

"That' the system around you."

"What happened to the Epstein clients? Raping kids-this guy says some shit you don't like. That's the system of justice for you? That's f**ked up man."

"If you're in college right now and you're being told language equates power, walk the fuck out of your classroom. You're being lied to."
