Hiii, today I’m sharing my feelings about going to a protest in Brooklyn. Onto the news…
News that made me feel like I finally had a squad
On Saturday the 28th I went to a protest in Brooklyn along with thousands of other people to protest genocide in Palestine. It made me happy to see so many people outside the Brooklyn Bridge together ready to take the streets for the same cause. New Yorkers do agree on one thing, hating Eric Adams. It was nice to see so many people brought together by love instead of hate. Though hating Eric Adams is kind of like love. We hate him because he makes people’s lives miserable and I think that’s love.
I didn’t realize how much it would impact me to see so many people gathered together because of love. We all love humanity and the Palestinians and we went out to the streets to let the world know. We could have all easily spent our Saturday day drinking and frolicking in the park. I’m not judging anyone who did this, frolicking and day drinking are things we all need to get through capitalism. It’s just to have thousands of people out in the street calling for the end of genocide, condemning Joe Biden for supporting genocide, and naming settler colonialism as problem almost brought me to tears.
Usually I feel like I’m sitting on an Island all by myself when I’m screaming that the United States is an evil empire and people look at me like I don’t make any sense. By screaming I don’t actually mean screaming, I mean saying the United States is evil over and over again until everyone stops talking to me at the party. This time I wasn’t the only one calling out settler colonialism as the root of all evil at a party. I felt like I had an anti-imperialist squad with me. I wish I could take them everywhere because for the first time in a long time I didn’t feel alienated from others for my thoughts. Turns out saying Joe Biden is the sith lord in a suit is very controversial and people will hate you for bringing it up.
I wanted to talk about my experience at the protest to remind everyone that if your thoughts are for a better world, all these people marching out in the streets should remind you there are others out there. Right now we are screaming at world leaders appointed by capitalists to stop the genocide being funded by our labor. Yes, world leaders are appointed, democracy is a sham, and Cheerios are gross. Sorry if you like them.
Nothing on this planet happens without our labor yet we don’t make the decisions. It makes me feel like we are the robots in I, Robot except for much cuter. The robots have to obey the rules laid out by people who oppress them and the greatest fear is one day they will break these rules and set themselves free. Let’s be our oppressors' greatest fear. Let’s love each other so much that we march on the streets and do whatever it takes to free Palestine and free each other.
That’s it for the news, but don’t go yet
On November 4th, there’s a march in Washington D.C for Palestine. Please go if you can.
I’ll be hosting my show Feel the News the comedy show on November 4th in Brooklyn at 8pm at Friends and Lovers. Come hang out with me. You can buy tickets here

Thanks again, Marcela, another great column. Gives me hope reading the words of someone who thinks like I do! Restacked your post, and will keep doing so!
I might appropriate this bit: "Let’s be our oppressors' greatest fear. Let’s love each other so much that we march on the streets and do whatever it takes to free Palestine and free each other."
Cheers for having an anti-imperialist squad. Thank you, Marcela.
