It's crazy that so many folks are jumping on board with a "peace plan" that consists of threatening Hamas if the hostages aren't released, with no firm constraints on Israel from resuming attacks if they ARE released, and no future but a colony run by Trump with Palestinians working service jobs.

Millions of Americans marched against the US invading Iraq under the false pretence of weapons of mass destruction.

How many Americans will march against the US invading itself under the false pretence of domestic terrorism?

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

🛑 Ex*cutions are still happening in America — right now.
In our names. With our tax dollars.

Absolutely shameful. As an asylum-seeker, we were accountable for his safety as he went through our process. Without due process, he was disappeared to another country. If DHS is following legal, standard due process & law, they should have NO issue with confirming with a “partner” about a prisoner.
