   But to see the reactions today towards the #HandsOff marches from yesterday saddens me.

   While it is important to critique movements to improve them, there are people who would rather tear them down altogether.

   While I believe they didn't go far enough, I still believe that these people can be moved towards bigger causes.

   While they may have been rather "tame" or "safe", under a police state that is not actually true. State violence doesn't have to be physical or immediate.

     As I sit here and reflect on the #MarchForPalestine yesterday, I'm reminded of all the organization and militancy of the movement.

     That doesn't just happen overnight.

     It takes building and studying.

     But it also takes self-sacrifice. To remove oneself from the movement and to stand in solidarity with those different than you for a collective movement.

     Not to think about how you're affected, but to what's happening with your fellow worker.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
