Israel released 90 hostages in Gaza then took 90 new hostages in the West Bank. This is what Israel does and this is the vile colonial violence itβs founded on, beyond any kind of reform

The ruling class interests are police, military, big pharma, prisons & us aligned w 2 parties that share the same interests.
your friend and does not have the best interest of the people at heart.
The police in your community are trained in Israel, use Israeli surveillance equipment & techniques & are there to protect the interests of the ruling/corporate class.
We are not afforded the privilege of choosing parties like teams when the root of both parties is racialized capitalism & imperial allegiance.
The enemy of the people is the ruling class of both parties. Any & every Democrat who held their tongue on condemning genocide is not
& the liberal media played along. Yes, Trump & his cohorts are ποΈ- & we also witnessed Dems choose the will of donors over voters with such blatant hypocrisy that many voters just threw up their hands in disgust.
Dems threw away the election bc the donor class wins either way.
I implore you to acknowledge that the American people are f*cked from both sides of the duopoly. Yes, Trump & his cohorts are ποΈ- & Yes, the extreme racism & gaslighting of the Democratic Party fueled a live-streamed genocide treating student protesters as terrorist sympathizers
