Israel has already broken the ceasefire agreement.

October 14th, Israeli forces killed five Palestinians in the Shujayea neighborhood of Gaza City. The IDF confirmed that its forces opened fire after the group approached soldiers.

But sure…peace…

IDF: 5 Palestinians killed in Gaza City had crossed ceasefire line and neared troops

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

You know who hates America

The guys who took healthcare away from millions of Americans

The ones who CUT billions of dollars for programs like cancer research and FEMA

Who sit and watch the president use military troops to attack our cities

That’s Mike Johnson

HE hates America

In Mel Brooks parlance, don’t bother to meet with the piss boy, Mike Johnson

He’ll just waste your time while and get you all wet and messy

Speak with the guy who actually makes the decisions instead

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

KNOW who you are dealing with by the type of mask they wear

Not All Masks Are Equal

PROTECTION

Worn to protect the health yourself and of others and to provide cover for those unable to mask or vaccinate

ABUSE

Worn to protect the identity of those committing human rights abuses against vulnerable members of our communities

While they make cuts and rollbacks to anything “climate” related, the future will continue to look grim for future generations.
Denying or ignoring won’t make it go away.

What happens when Republicans shut down the government…

They break things. Take thing away. Fire fed employees simply because they’re Dems. Refuse to pay our military.

You know how I know #ChristianNationalism & #WhiteNationalism are the same movement?
I haven’t seen a single talking head who claims to be a Christian Nationalist decry #ICEMonsters staking out churches to plan their next kidnappings, thus leading to ✝️ not being able to freely practice their faith.

They want to erase the day 30 million Americans finally got Healthcare.

Dems hold the line, stay in the fight. We can’t afford to let them.
