Michigan’s attorney general is posing as an anti-Trump champion. So why is she helping Trump’s FBI to target protesters?

    Honestly, as much as I’d like to see the genocide stop, if Dems want to stand up to Trump, they should stand with the American people and stand against the oligarchs.

    Decent wages. Healthcare. Housing. Education.

    It’s like being on a plane when the oxygen masks drop. Don’t get out of your seat and try to help others. Put your own damn mask on.

    Once the people who profit from our suffering are overthrown, it will be easier to try to overthrow the people who profit from the suffering of the world. In fact, many of them are the same people, so it’s almost a side-effect.

      This genocide is America’s just as much as it is Israel’s. We are the ones providing unconditional support to Israel, billions worth of military weapons, at the taxpayers expense. We are the ones providing international cover by vetoing multiple UN resolutions.

      Not only is a weapons embargo incredibly popular, required by International and US Law, and the morally correct position; a weapons embargo would also free up those billions of dollars to go to healthcare, to housing, to education, to infrastructure, ect.

      We also absolutely have the obligation to significantly fund humanitarian aid to Palestine, since all the death and destruction has happened with US Weapons and profited the US businesses creating those weapons.

      Standing with Palestine is standing with the American people. Because we can change those billions going to their eradication, to instead go to helping the wellbeing of Americans and Palestinians.

      Fascism doesn’t deal in compromise; you have to reject it entirely or you accept it entirely. And guess what? Supporting fascism abroad is still fascism.

        So why support Palestine? When their leadership would kill you where you stand for your ideology?

        Make it make sense - lol

          Because genocide is bad no matter who it’s done to. It’s really that simple. I don’t even need to challenge your willfully ignorant understanding of Palestinian society to be against genocide.

      Do you think the american people want genocide? The fact is the dems choose to represent genocide instead of all the things you mentioned. We dont need to compromise and accept genocide as long as we get the rest. Its genocide for fucks sakes, they need to stop completely.
