Are you implying Biden has any sort of say over what happens on private university campuses, and state police?
Yes he does.
Look at the timeline for Columbia and other universities. The heads got shunned for allegedly allowing antisemitism, by allowing students to voice a different opinion than the US mainstrem on Israel and Palestine.
If Biden wouldn't take the stance of pretending human rights to be an issue, while illegally by US rules arming IDF units the US recognizes as war criminals, by continuously blocking any motion at the UN to facilitate a ceasefire or a way for membership of Palestine, he and is administration are creating the environment in which it is deemed encouraged to crack down on peaceful protests.
Not sure how you link any of this to Biden. You seem to think everything bad that happens is his fault somehow, when the reality is none of it is actually within his control.
You mean the funding Bill that has gone through approval by both the Democrats and Republicans? While I hate it, I'm not sure how you would consider that illegal.
And you believe that TRUMP would be more respectful of civil rights, somehow? The dictator-for-a-day? Leader of the party that's currently stripping females of their rights and encouraging persecution of LGBTs? Who is known for favouring anybody who books his hotels for a few days? And declaredIsraeli West Bank settlements legal?
Biden is not in control of his press statements? Biden is not in control of what he is saying?
The US must not send weapons to armies or groups that are obstructing US humanitarian efforts or commit war crimes with those weapons. There is strong evidence that the state department knows about both of these occurrences so it is very likely to violate that law.
See https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/28/politics/state-department-israel-gaza-international-law-us-weapons/index.html for instance
Well the Democrats are know doing most of what they criticised Trump for doing. Arm a genocide, crackdown on immigrants, run internment camps at the border, separating children from their parents, building a wall... Note that this is not a new pattern. Obama also was happy to expand the war on terror and keep Guantanamo running. And that is what you get for saying "we have to vote democrats, because they are not as bad as republicans." You get the same policies from the democrats that you tried to prevent from the republicans and the republicans just escalate. The democrats are a far right party with LGBT rights by international standards. But don't believe that they would defend LGBT rights, when push comes to shove.
