But, sure, keep on defending a bloody-mouthed politician who has fewer moral scruples than Ronald American Hitler Reagan. That says a lot of really good things about your character.

This genocide never would've happened if Biden hadn't paid for it. Biden could've stopped this genocide at any time by simply ceasing to give Israel our money. Biden could've picked up the phone & stopped it immediately, like Reagan did last time. Biden is genocidaire & war criminal. Period.

We'll make it multiple choice, to give you a fighting chance:

a) They would riot in the streets.

b) They would plot his assassination.

c) They would go back where they came from.

d) All of the above

5. You failed 3rd grade math, but let's try 7th grade social studies: considering most of Bibi's white, upper-caste constituents immigrated to Israel largely for the free education, housing, & healthcare paid for by US taxpayers, what would happen if US taxpayers stopped paying because of him?

4. Israel is committing war crime after war crime after war crime. Everything Hamas has done has been perfectly legal under international law. So why THE FCK would the President of United States, if he were a decent human or a respecter of laws, even consider providing arms to war criminals?

3. Israel's occupations of Gaza, West Bank, & Golan Heights have been ruled illegal every time they've been taken to court, & under United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, indigenous people under illegal occupation have the right to resist & I quote, "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY."

1. I didn't say "get to fall". I said "drop," & as 3rd grader would tell you, the answer is 0.

2. Hamas wouldn't be defending itself with fire kites (because describing these objects as "rockets" is an obscenely generous description) if Israel wasn't illegally occupying Gaza.

3rd grade math lesson: If Bibi wants to drop a million bombs, but Bibi only has 0 bombs, how many bombs can Bibi drop?

How many international human rights rights groups need to tell Labour they're on track for The Hague before Starmer and his fash cabinet stop abusing people?

Right now they're whining like the worst "Karens" and flinging their poo like the worst monkeys. Given it "You 're not the boss of me!"

Mostly rhetorical. The last few weeks have been just one after another. It's a lot.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

So Palestinians must not show relief at not being mass murdered!?!
That is an astonishing bit of #Israeli nastiness
🤦🏻‍♂️

Some of the cease fire requirements are: when family go to meet & collect released family members, they must not show any sign of celebration or carry Palestinian flags. Were these 5 killed for violating those rules?

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.
