How did Netanyahu let this attack happen? He was warned by 2 soldiers. Israel’s Mossad Agents are among the best in the world. Israel has an army. Where were they on Oct 7? Why did Israelis have to face the horrific suffering, rapes, deaths, kidnappings for so many hours- where was the army?

I think Greta Thunberg deserves a @NobelPrize and more.
But what she really wants is an end to the starvation, maiming and killing of Gaza’s entrapped and helpless civilians, - and of course the respect and care our Earth requires

Trump wants to start a war w Venezuela. But US govt agencies & independent expert evidence shows Venezuela plays no role in fentanyl trade to the U.S. The vast majority of fentanyl & its precursor chemicals are trafficked into the US from Mexico, where they are manufactured by criminal organizations

The group was evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. They had worked as high-level officials for every president since Ronald Reagan.

Trump wants to play Russian style power games with soldiers in an imaginary war- but its not a game. He’s playing with real soldiers against real civilians in America’s cities.

Maybe we have a year to save our country from full dictatorship. Maybe less.
Too many members of Congress & Senate , and law firms, and universities are caving. They are afraid.

No one is coming to save us. Its our turn to be strong- unafraid to stand for our rights and freedoms
