Out today, a story months in the making...
In August, #Austin Police Department violently arrested two pro-Palestine activists at the city's annual #Pride march, and I investigated why and how it happened.
Even though Pride itself claimed to be welcoming to symbols of Palestinian liberation, police who were deployed to "protect" the #LGBTQIA+ community from violent threats ended up attacking us instead. https://thebarbedwire.com/2024/10/18/you-can-fly-any-flag-at-austin-pride-except-a-palestinian-one/
