Garrison gave his entire adulthood to the cause of abolition. Not just “a few acts.” We need a leader to help bring down AIPAC & maybe it would help if we had someone like WLG who was not a politician & never endorsed/supported them. He focused on educating folks and building a movement. It worked.

It’s very close to the Nordic concept of “Sisu.”

“Sumud (Arabic: صمود, romanized: ṣumūd, meaning "steadfastness"[1] or "steadfast perseverance"; derived from the verb صمد ṣamada, meaning "arrange, adorn, lay up, save")[2] is a Palestinian cultural value, ideological theme and political strategy”

She already blocked me. 😂
I agree with you that Israel is stolen land and human rights abuses by Israel have been going on long before Hamas entered the picture. I’ve long felt that if any other country was doing what Israel does the global reaction would not be charitable.

That said, I’m a Canadian and the founding of this country is not something I’m proud of.
I’m sickened by this most recent escalation in Gaza. It’s indefensible.

In politics, saying the other person is worse so vote for my person, is a stupid argument & a race to the bottom.

If your argument is your candidate sucks less, would genocide less, would sell out less etc. then you're helping drive things to the bottom.

Raise the bar high. Hold them to account.

They are not off the hook for their crimes and their actions.

Crimes by politicians can only be prosecuted after the fact, whether in power or not.

And accountability is always AFTER the fact, whether in power or not.

Your argument is stupid on it's face.

Please inform the class who was President and Vice President when Israel started their genocide against the Palestinians and who shipped 10s of BILLION$$ of weapons to Israel when their genocide was being live-streamed in front of your face.

Your excuses are pathetic.

Apparently in your world, Harris was just some figurehead who had no power, agency or autonomy.

Either that, or you'll find every reason possible, whether believable or not, to defend Harris' actions and policies.

Have a wonderful life.

Please speak freely. Don't let the shitty people silence you.

Block them on here if needed.

We need more people who support equality, human rights and justice to speak out. The only thing the other people have is yelling, intimidation and lies.

We are on the right side of history.

You know what you got? You are giving a free pass to someone who supported the mass murder of innocent people.

But since they are not YOUR people, you don't give a sh!t.

What does that make you?

Have a wonderful life.

Saeed Khan @saeedwkhan.bsky.social · 2h

Wow. So that lets Biden/Harris off the hook? The argument is beyond stupid.

Had Biden/Harris stopped shipping weapons to Israel, the genocide would be over.

They didn’t. She didn’t commit to doing it either when running for POTUS. She explicitly said she wouldn’t have done things differently.

Btw. The “birthright” thing is racist in both directions.

1. People claim “immigrants” (always POCs) abuse the laws in large numbers to create “anchor babies” etc.

2. Zionists claim all Jews anywhere in the world have a “birthright” to go live on stolen Palestinian land.

Both are racist.

And stupidity like this is why Trump and his goons are disappearing people in front of our eyes.

What the IDF did and does in Palestine is coming to the streets of US. If you can’t see that, that one you.

Go have a wonderful life.

Seems like you and your ill will just make up dumb shit arguments because you’ve got nothing else.

Harris is as guilty as Vance. This is not about a black lady. This is about a former VP complicit in genocide.

The fact you care so little about mass murder of innocent people speaks volumes.

This is what Israel calls a "ceasefire"

It's when the other side ceases fire so Israel can continue murdering people.

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

Add to that, that she is not an innocent bystander.

She was VP and ran for POTUS. She has Palestinian blood on her hands for her support of Israel's crimes.

She violated the Leahy Act (at minimum). She (and Biden) should be held to account along with Trump, Vance and others.

It's actually easy to imagine a lot of things more performative and pointless.

Harris going on a book tour RIGHT NOW, at this critical point in US history, instead of joining in to fight fascism is bad enough.

Telling people to go to 1600 and protest while she does the opposite is telling.

Thanks.

Need more of this, but also need it from Dems with a LARGE SM following. It has to be an ongoing campaign - flood the zone so to speak - to counter the BS and Fox/Sinclair impact of amplifying RW BS.

I don't know this Senator's reach, but need many more like him.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.
