In addition to being suppressed, the protestors are also seeing that their efforts have not changed anything in the past year. In fact, the opposite has occurred, the behavior being protested has continued and grown in scope.

It turns out when fascists start arresting and deporting citizens en masse it has a chilling affect on speech.

The Atlantic spent like a year complaining about student protest and supporting efforts to punish protest, sometimes with arrests and felony charges. They further amplified the false connection between protests for palestine and antisemitism. The federal government responded to these protests by illegally cancelling grants and withholding money to universities and state governments sought to fire faculty for this stuff. And they have the gall to complain the students aren't protesting enough now.

The "oh where are the protests now" complaint is truly garbage, even if the article couches this a criticism of administration.
