Footage from the Israeli Occupation Forces assault on #Conscience, shortly before dawn. In international waters, close to Palestinian territorial waters. Another act of state piracy by the rogue, lawless Israeli occupation.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been

A bunch of inanimate non-living digits, commas, and zeroes in the accounts of a few wealthy heirs have more rights than hundreds of millions of real, living, breathing Americans. No one can look me in the eyes and tell me this is freedom or democracy.
