On October 7 and every day...

You can be anti-Netanyahu and not be an antisemite.

You can be anti-Hamas and not be an Islamphobe.

You can be anti-Trump and not be anti-America.

You cannot be pro-Netanyahu, Hamas and Trump and be pro-democracy and humanity.

Rolling her eyes, personally attacking Dem Senators on “Trumped” up accusations.

This criminal toady thinks she is untouchable.

Photo of a little black boy in Chicago, maybe one years old, with his hands behind his back and being zip tied by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent or other federal agent, at 1:00am or later, when this little boy should be sound asleep.
