FYI, we are four days away from the 20th anniversary of Mean Girls. To me, this is a holiday on par with May Day or the Bolshevik Revolution.

Aaron Bushnell was not crazy. He did not commit suicide. Those who think otherwise are either fools or Zionist apologists. He carried out - in his own words - "extreme act of protest" in support of Palestine. He gave his life for the struggle and we remember that and fight on.
