Because my “Discover” feed is stuffed with numbskulls like this, I’m only going to say this one more time and hope the algo cleans that shit up:

MACHADO DEDICATED HER NOBEL TO TRUMP.

Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.

The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.

This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.

I abhor condescending headines like this. Write an article about how dumb Christian (mostly) white women are and how they’ll cape for fascists whenever they can.

But don’t insult your readers by twisting a simple, easily understood reality into their lack of comprehension.

It’s not hard.

This is the first hopeful moment in a long time. At last we have an agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all the hostages, and a surge of desperately needed aid to the people of Gaza. It is long overdue.
