This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.
If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.
This video just popped up on TikTok and my god. How inconsequential, how unimportant and transparently distracting the silly talk of “property damage” at campus protests really is.
my entire feed is filled with
1. peaceful college campus protests being met with armed authorities
and
2. tiktok being banned
so if young people can’t speak out on their campuses or online — where do you want them to use their voices?
or maybe that’s the point…
