@Greengordon @benroyce @me_valentijn @mls14 @heidilifeldman my point is that those who didn't vote under the pretense that this ain't gonna help Palestinians are #UsefulIdiots because that election wasn't just about that but because everyone knows that #Trump and his goons want a jewish ethnostate for their feverdream of Armagheddon.

  • And I kid you not, #Evangelical #Christofacists like #CUFI from the #USA's #BibleBelt outnumber Jews globally, so if any conspiracy were true (they ain't but for the sake of argument), it's that the USA is in control of Israel and not the other way around.

I know the #US system is shit, but since noone has the balls to replace it with something better, people have to choose the "#LesserEvil" and #Harris / #Waltz are that by a long shot ( I wished for #Sanders / #OcasioCortez [#AOC] but alas I never was eligible to vote and I also know both of them never had a chance cuz corporate donors hate #based candidates like them!)

Whee! Today is Sanders 150th birthday celebration.

The original store opened in 1875 at Gratiot and Woodward in downtown Detroit.

I'm a fan of their hot fudge sauce (on vanilla ice cream) and bumpy cake.

From 11am to 5pm today, Sanders is giving away free ice cream sundaes in downtown Detroit, at Cadillac Square east of Campus Martius.

'Civilized People Do Not Starve Children to Death': #Sanders Rips #US-Backed Israel's 68-Day Gaza Aid Blockade

"What we are seeing now is a slow, brutal process of mass starvation and death by the denial of basic necessities," the senator said, calling for an end to U.S. complicity in the humanitarian disaster.

""Today marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into #Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel."

[He] not only highlighted those conditions in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday but also called out the fact that the worsening humanitarian crisis "gets very little discussion here in the nation's capital or in the halls of Congress," even though #Israel has spent the past 19 months destroying Gaza with armed and diplomatic support from the United States."
