If farmers paid a living wage, we would not need to exploit desperate brown people.

Huh? Americans living today are not responsible for past injustices.

If the US had not provided that little bully with cash and weapons all these years, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. The US is the big dummy who protects the weasel school yard bully. Israel's genocide against Palestinians is funded by American taxpayers. Shame on us.

How about we respect those who came before us? I do not *deserve* to live where I cannot afford housing. It would never occur to me to push my way into a neighborhood & live out of an RV. Nimbys don't make a place worse to live, but entitled people who move in with their RVs do.

What is wrong with being a NIMBY? Why shouldn't we try to protect our neighborhoods? How about people live where they can afford to live? I would love to live in Santa Fe, but I can't afford it so I don't. Do think I should just move there anyway? Maybe park an RV on a side street?

Do you think I lied when I said Israel was created in 1948? Why don't you find out what happened to the people who were already living there when the Israelis moved in. Who do you think started the 6 Day War? It was Israel! They bombed Egypt w/out provocation. America is that bully's protector.

I'm a retired librarian. I spent years studying which reference tools are reliable. You can go to your library & ask the reference librarian to help you understand why the UN Assembly walked out when the Israeli representative began to talk. You cannot justify Israel's 75 years of abuse of Palestine

Do you wonder why so many people hate Israel? They launched a sneak attack on Egypt in 1967, they live off of money taken from unwilling American taxpayers, and will not stop their genocide until every Palestinian child is dead. WTF is wrong with you?

Israel was established in 1948. What happened to the people who were already living there? Palestinians have been under the boots of Israel for 75 years. Their land continues to be stolen by Israeli settlers. Israel would have dried up $ blown away in desert winds without America's blood money.

I guess they won't be buying a ticket.

paulineward.bsky.social @paulineward.bsky.social · 11h

Tell that to those nasty Israeli bullies. F Israel. You know what was gained? Israel came close to to total genocide against people they have terrorized for 75 years. And they did with money from America.

Open your eyes!!! Israel was created in 1948. What about the people who were already living there? Palestinians have been treated "barbarically, brutally" by Israel ever since. Israel launched a cowardly sneak attack on Egypt in 1967. Israel has always been a leech on American taxpayers. F Israel.

Of course I am against all wars. But Palestinians have been crushed under Israel's boots for 75 years. Israel was created in 1948. Who cares about the people who were already living there? Or the constant encroachment of Israeli settlers onto Palestinian land. We supported those bullies with $$$!

Why isn't in the US dealing with the shutdown?

How do you address the preference of some people to want to keep the great insurance they get from their employer? If someone is getting great coverage through their compensation package, would they be able to opt out of your plan?

Wait! I was going to show up anyway, but I could get paid?

paulineward.bsky.social @paulineward.bsky.social · 11h

Why are reporters such wimps? All they need to do is say "Let me try again." And repeat the question. Until it is answered. And call them out in their lies.

Oh, Frankie, keep up! She donated a lot of money to Kamala Harris' campaign, and publicly endorsed her.

When did you meet her?

paulineward.bsky.social @paulineward.bsky.social · 12h

She donated heavily to Kampala Harris and publicly endorsed her. But of course it isn't fair that she is rich and you aren't.
