"The stakes are much higher now than when I was in college. The genocide against Palestinians in Gaza is already a world-historical crime, and the looming invasion of Rafah promises a new magnitude of horror, all of which has motivated students to make sacrifices they might not have otherwise. And the repression they face is far more extreme, with universities directing state violence on their campuses without qualms."
In the longer term, it may be that Biden's win in 2020 was a loss for the left. Because now it's a Biden White House, one known to be soft on Netanyahu's government, that is seen to be presiding over the shocking repression on US college campuses. Not an Orange House even friendlier to Zionist fascists. This has to suppress the left's willingness to turn out and give Biden another 4 years, even though the alternative is definitely worse, for the US and for Palestinians.
