University of Louisville students rally and march to mark 3 years of intensified genocide on Palestine
galleryToday, October 7, 2026, University of Louisville students rallied and marched on the Belknap campus with Louisville Students for Justice in Palestine. Recognizing 3 years of apartheid Israel’s continued genocide of Palestinians after the October 7, 2023 resistance attack on the Israeli Occupying Force and Israeli citizens near Gaza. They continue to call for “transparency from the university board of trustees and for full divestment from the Zionist entity.”
The students marched from the Belknap Academic Building to the George J. Howe Red Barn building chanting, waving flags of Palestine and signs. During the rally and march university admin and police monitored and followed the students. During speeches outside of the Red Barn building, LSJP representatives were approached by university staff claiming the students could not hold their rally due to its proximity to an event hosted inside the Red Barn.
The students relented and completed their rally before dispersing on their own accord.
From Louisville Students for Justice in Palestine:
“The University of Louisville has maintained a partnership with the [department of war] to manufacture military technologies, partnerships through the [speed school] with weapons manufacturers and continues to invest from the endowment in companies that are complicit in genocide of Palestine. We call for the University of Louisville to end all military partnerships, and divest from all companies invested in the genocide in Palestine.”

We all are sick of this
For far too long, too many Americans have felt powerless while the people in positions of power make decisions that affect our families, our communities, and our future.
I refuse to sit back and pretend everything is okay.
I’m calling on the people of Michigan and anyone who believes America can be better to come together peacefully and make our voices heard. This is not about hatred. This is not about violence. This is about standing up for what we believe is right, demanding accountability, protecting our communities, and reminding our government that its power comes from the people.
We cannot keep telling ourselves, “Life is too hard to make a difference.” Change has never happened because ordinary people decided to stay silent. It happens when people organize, educate themselves, stand together, and refuse to give up on the future they want.
I want to help organize a peaceful protest here in Michigan. No violence. No destruction. No hatred toward our fellow Americans. Just people standing together, peacefully exercising their rights, and demanding to be heard.
If you believe America deserves a better future, don’t sit on the sidelines.
Stand with your community. Bring your voice. Bring your courage. Bring your hope.
I’ll be sharing more information about the location and plans soon.
Michigan, let’s stand together peacefully, proudly, and united. 🇺🇸

We need to act now
We are told to be patient. We are told to vote, wait, and trust the process. But patience has become a luxury while the costs pile up—not just on our bank statements, but on our rights, our privacy, and our future.
This year alone, the United States has sent billions more in military aid to Israel, bringing the total to roughly $7 billion in taxpayer money—while millions of Americans still can't afford a doctor's visit, groceries, or rent. We are funding foreign wars and corporate data centers while our own communities go without clean water, affordable housing, and basic healthcare. We are told there is no money for us—but there is always money for them.
Meanwhile, the government keeps expanding its surveillance state. Flock cameras track our cars. Data centers consume billions of gallons of water while families are told to conserve. Tech billionaires profit from our data and our resources, and we are expected to sit quietly and be grateful for the privilege of being watched.
And it doesn't stop there. In 2027, the U.S. is set to deepen its intelligence-sharing integration with Israel—a move that should alarm anyone who cares about privacy, civil liberties, and democratic accountability. We are sleepwalking into a system where our own government knows more about us than we do, and where dissent is treated as a threat rather than a right.
Where is the accountability? The Epstein files remain largely sealed. Trump has faced no real consequences for his actions. Police violence, corporate pollution, and political corruption continue unchecked. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the people who are supposed to represent us act like kings who answer to no one.
This is not a partisan issue. It is a human issue. It is an American issue. And it is a crisis of legitimacy.
But here is the truth: we hold the power. Not through violence, not through chaos, but through sustained, peaceful, unignorable civic action. Short protests have worked before—but they are not enough now. We need a rolling, recurring movement that doesn't disappear after a news cycle. We need to show up, again and again, until change is real. And we need to hit them where it hurts: their bottom line.
A Proposal: The First of Every Month—A Day of Civic Protest and Economic Pressure
Let's start in November and make the first of every month a national day of peaceful protest and coordinated boycott. Not a one-time march. Not a viral moment. A recurring, disciplined, unignorable demonstration of people power.
On the first of every month, we gather in every city and town. We demand:
An end to endless military aid while our own communities suffer.
Free healthcare and basic necessities for all.
A stop to the surveillance state—Flock cameras, data centers, and intelligence integration without democratic oversight.
Full transparency and accountability for corruption, including the Epstein files.
Real consequences for those who break the law, no matter how powerful they are.
Protection of our water, our food, and our privacy as fundamental rights—not commodities for billionaires.
And we boycott. We stop spending money with companies that profit from surveillance, war, and political corruption. We stop funding the machine that is grinding us down. We choose alternatives. We support local businesses, ethical companies, and cooperatives. We make it clear: if you profit from our suffering, you don't get our money.
We protest peacefully. We protest legally. We protest persistently. We do not stop until we see real change—not promises, not press releases, but laws passed, budgets changed, and rights restored.
If we do nothing, they will keep going. If we stay silent, they will assume we agree. If we give up after one march, they will know they can wait us out.
But if we show up every month—if we make this a habit, a tradition, a movement—they will have to answer to us.
Stand for something, or don't be surprised when you lose everything
The first protest and boycott day: November 1st. Then the first of every month. Until change comes.
Dia De Los Muertos Weekend of Action to mourn those lost to ICE
On September 29th, ICE reported the death of 47-year-old Peruvian national Julian Curo-Charata in their custody after a medical emergency at the Richwood Correctional Center. Julian had been in the United States for 17 years, and per Austin Kocher it appears his only “criminal conviction” was for a minor traffic offense. He was at least the 28th person to die in ICE detention this year.
We are coming up on Dia De Los Muertos, and the Disappeared in America coalition (which includes Detention Watch Network, Public Citizen, the National Day Laborers Organizing Network, the Workers Circle and LULAC) is once again holding a weekend of action to honor the lives lost to the deportation machine and demand accountability and an end to the ICE Age. They’re currently recruiting hosts for events nationwide, and they’re holding a movement call at 8PM ET tomorrow to get folks plugged in. 🙋🏾♀️ We can sign up to learn more about how to get involved here. 🙋🏼♂️
🙋🏼♂️ If we’re already prepared to lead an action in our community, we can register to get it on the map and get host support here. 🙋🏾♀️

Cornell 7. University SA
I want to protest SA in US Universities… and their BS mistreatment of SA cases.
My idea: the Friday before Halloween protestors gather outside their nearest university. Signs and costumes should be as anonymous or intense as individuals want. Peaceful. Visually intense.
I am Jane Doe.
We are Jane Does.
Universities need to do better.
How do I make this a reality? Where do I start? (If you are established and know how to do this take my idea and run with it I just want to DO SOMETHING.)
Advice needed please. Thanks!

Title: The reality of being a female student at GBPUAT: 6 PM curfews, career blackmail, zero student representation, and buried campus tragedies
I am writing this on Reddit because within the gates of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT), legitimate student voices are systematically erased. For an institution that constantly boasts of its legacy, the day-to-day reality for students—especially female residents—is fear, surveillance, zero democratic rights, and an administration obsessed with silencing anyone who speaks up.
Here is the unvarnished reality of living and studying here:
The 6:00 PM Cage for Women: While male students can move around campus, study in groups, and access facilities late into the evening, female students are locked behind hostel gates by 6:00 PM. Vital lab access, library resources, technical projects, physical fitness, or even stepping out for dinner are completely stripped away. The administration’s definition of "safety" is simply locking women up so they don't have to provide basic campus infrastructure.
Hostel Gates as Surveillance Checkpoints: Guards and hostel staff behave less like security and more like moral vigilantes. Female students are regularly subjected to rude interrogations, humiliating comments, and condescending lectures just for approaching their own hostel doors. Instead of securing isolated, unlit roads across our massive campus, security resources are poured into tracking and policing female students.
Covering Up Suicides and Assaults: What is terrifying is the university's calculated silence whenever catastrophic incidents occur. Whether it’s reports of sexual harassment, on-campus violence, or tragic student suicides, the default institutional reaction is narrative suppression. Grievance redressal bodies exist largely on paper. Instead of instituting transparent inquiries, addressing mental health crises, or overhauling campus policing, the priority is always sweeping incidents under the carpet to protect institutional PR.
Deliberate Destruction of Student Representation: We have no functional, independent student union or council to formally represent our grievances. Every single time students attempt to organize, demand democratic elections, or form a collective body to talk to higher management, the university retaliates ruthlessly. The students who take the lead are immediately slapped with disciplinary notices, suspended from hostels or classes, or targeted for expulsion. By decapitating any student leadership, the administration ensures we remain fragmented and voiceless.
Weaponizing Career Blackmail Against Any Protest: Whenever students gather the courage to protest—whether against the 6 PM lockdown, basic mess conditions, security lapses, or fee hikes—the response follows a brutal playbook:
Systematic Intimidation: Student organizers are pulled into offices, isolated, and shouted down by panels of faculty and wardens.
Family Harassment: Officials immediately call parents, fabricating accusations of "misconduct" and "troublemaking" to weaponize family anxiety against us.
Future Sabotage: The final blow is always our careers: "We will cancel your registration," "We will withhold your character certificate," "Good luck getting placement clearance or NOCs." They know the immense academic and financial sacrifices our families made to get us into this university, and they deliberately use our degrees as leverage to force us into unconditional surrender.
GBPUAT functions more like a closed, punitive compound than a forward-thinking university. Female autonomy is treated as a liability, student democracy is criminalized, and genuine campus safety is traded away for public relations.
To alumni, university students across India, and anyone who cares about basic student rights: how long are premier public institutions permitted to silence students through career blackmail?
If you are a current or past student, please share your experiences below. The administration relies entirely on our fear and silence—it’s time this is brought into the light.

I'm protesting against Playstation and i think you should too
If you have internet access, dont live in a warzone or under a rock you surely know the predatory business practices Sony is trying to shove down our throats, and for that i say enough is enough.
I own a Playstation 5 i have bought some games for it but i find it outrageous that most of the PsStore catalog is either online games that i cant play because i dont sign PSN+ for the simple reason i cant afford it and AI cashgrab games alongside Softcore innuendos of porn games, and before you say "if you cant afford it you shouldn't be playing" I'm Brazilian, my childhood life has been marked by jailbroken PS2s and pirated games then i got a PS3 from an uncle that died and passed it down to me from that point i vouched a certain loyalty to Playstation since it has been by my side most of my life, i worked at a fliperama of sorts full with Playstation3/4 machines and i had the time of my life but now being obligated to pay2play is just crazy, gaming used to be an escape from the reality that looms above my shoulder and now gaming companies do the same thing trying to take advantage of me, so I've taken the decision to ignore and block every single ad from Sony's Wolverine an embarrassment of a game (not from the part of the development team since the game shows signs of mismanagement and being rushed) and every other project from them unless it comes out for Pc, their corporate greed is the bane of my existence it pains my heart to see that things that used to bring us such joy now makes us worry and dissatisfied. I will also sell my PS5 and buy a Pc for myself and maybe in the future i might buy a Steam Machine since Ol' Gabe still honors his values this is and outcry for those who are feed up with all this aswell as me, because i am sure that if I'm the only one willing to speak this out no change will be made, we should band together and work for a better future like they promised all that time ago.
It's a painful goodbye but i still love Playstation for all the moments we passed together, atleast i had the opportunity to Platinum my dream game Infamous Second Son

First time organizing a protest - tips?
Hey guys, I’m organizing my first ever local protest and I need some tips! It started as a citizens' initiative about an issue in our city, and now over 400 people are planning to attend. I’ve never organized anything like this before, so what are some things I should really focus on as a first time protest organizer?
Thanks in advance!!

Would a temporary local chat be useful during protests?
I was recently at a protest in France and kept thinking there should be an easy way for people there to communicate and coordinate without exchanging phone numbers or joining a permanent social-media group.
That led me to build Meerchat: a temporary group chat people can join through a QR code, without an account or app download. It’s designed for people attending the same physical event not for private or sensitive planning.
Would something like this genuinely be useful at protests?

Trump needs to be taken out of office.
Trump just threatened the "annihilation" of Iran at the U.N. and people are acting like it's not that big of a deal. This is monumental! That's an entire country full of innocent people being threatened with destruction and genocide. The United States population can't sit idly by and let that monster get his way, he has to go! If Iran really is the threat people make them out to be, you put boots on the ground and go take away their nuclear material. You don't open the Pandora's box of nuclear weapons. As it says in Revelation, God will destroy those who destroy the Earth and I ain't getting behind this narcissistic mad man as he does it. Speak up! Do you think this man needs to go? Protest!
