May they be preserved The children who know no peace In their time of grief The rage it must build Watching your loved ones be killed No respite from hell Dying on all sides There is nowhere left to hide Dogs ravage the dead You are not alone From the river to the sea Palestine is free #haiku

Bibles before 1948 refer to the Holy Land as Palestine. Jesus was a Palestinian, and in the Bible, he says, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' These are Jesus's ancestors we're talking about. Zionism is racism couched in theology.

We also continue to fight back against a mainstream media narrative intent on conflating anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and ensure that both war crimes and repression are not being enacted in our names as Jews.

HANDS OFF PALESTINE! Thousands of people have travelled to Washington D.C. today to demand an end to US-Israeli genocide. Here's why:

Jesus was a Palestinian. Jesus was a Palestinian. Jesus was a Palestinian. Jesus was a Palestinian. Jesus was a Palestinian. But please tell me again how Palestinians are inherently evil and deserve to be eradicated.

Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

"No one is illegal on stolen land."

Instead of food and water, these soulless psychopathic billionaires will be given their billions to consume for all of eternity.

I have huge issues w/ Cory Booker, specifically the $ he takes from AIPAC and his support for Israel as it commits genocide. That said, what he did is an important lesson for Dems--there's such a vacuum in leadership and fight against this admin. There's a thirst for someone to step the fuck up

Genocide should be the rallying cry for justice in the U.S. Authoritarianism is always at its base about eugenics. Everything else would fall into place.

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

The U.S. government has toppled countless governments in countries around the world since WWII in an effort to destabilize these regions and reign supreme. Is it any wonder that Putin has done what he's done to facilitate Trump's coup? Regardless, I wholeheartedly support Zelensky. He's impenetrable

Taking food and medicine out of the mouths of sick, hungry people, especially the young, old, and vulnerable, to line a billionaire's pocket is one of the fastest and most direct routes into the seventh level of hell.

"Ensuring clean water, ensuring you get your tax refund, ensuring the electric grid is functioning, ensuring your food is safe, ensuring lifesaving research continues, ensuring our precious ecosystems are not irreparably harmed, ensuring children with special needs receive the education they deserve

There's a line at the end of "On the Eve of War" by Wu-Tang that reads, "stand knee deep in the blood of their children." I think of this line at lot when I think of these monsters. They don't care, which is a comforting reminder to reiterate the depth of their irrevocable damnation.

I will definitely circumvent buying from Amazon. It feels like the least I can do and the best thing, too.

Tou-f@#$ing-che Also, Republican lawmakers knew Reagan International's airspace was congested. There have been 20-something near misses in the past few years, but they voted to deregulate the number of flights anyway. Kansas lawmakers got the flight path from Witchita to D.C. added recently.

Democrats need to stop politicizing the multiple plane crashes that occurred immediately after Trump fired the head of the FAA.

Elon Musk scares the s@#t out of me.

After a week of thinking, "Of course he did that, the vile POS," this was one of the best things I read. The other two things that rallied my spirits were 1) Mexico refusing the U.S. deportation flights to Guatemala and 2) Mariann Budde's speech. There is always hope.

ICE raids imply going house to house in the dark of night, but this rarely happens as it requires more resources than deporting people from jails and prisons. My "hope" is that Republicans don't like putting money into programs, so the reach will be smaller than they want us to believe.

Well, well. The ban is the "U.S. government's long-term attempts to provide public relations work for Israel in defense of its policies in the occupied Palestinian territories—and its push to ban TikTok in order to shut down Americans' access to unfiltered news about the Israeli assault on Gaza."

Oh my God, I can only imagine. I've suffered from childhood trauma, but the scale of this generational holocaust is catastrophic and mindbending.

I'm so f-ing tired of legalism. There's always a reason why people suffering from drug addiction, for example, are to blame. Their suffering couldn't possibly also be related to corporate greed and lack of housing, too. What the f-ck do people who have never been in this position know about it?

The only way for average people (albeit with high intelligences 😉) to make a difference is to change ourselves. Other than giving aid, participating in respectful discourse, and joining school boards, etc., I hold with the philosophy that we only ever fully affect a handful of people in our lives.

U.S. foreign policy is often misguided and reckless, at best. It meddles in the affairs of other countries and then supplies weapons post haste. U.S. foreign policy makers are complicit in so many wars and, at the very least, create genocidal conditions.

Absolutely 💯 We will know no real peace until Indigenous people have, at the very least, equal representation, land, and say in the laws made.

Climate change and nuclear warfare are the greatest threats to human existence we have ever known. Yet, somehow, we get caught up in Tik Tok bans and which bathrooms to use.

In the age of 24/7 news, I sometimes miss the days when I would learn about horrible things weeks, even months later. By God, if social media hasn't torn that veneer away, though. I've learned things in the past few months and years that I never learned before the internet.

The American government committed a genocide in Gaza. War criminals who broker a ceasefire are not altruistic. There is something in it for them.

The U.S. government has a long, dark history of overthrowing governments and participating in proxy wars while lying to the public and parading around as champions of democracy.

Netanyahu is a "deep, dark, son of a bitch." - Jeffrey Sachs

To counter the narrative that Jimmy Carter was a simple man because he was a peanut farmer is the interesting fact that he was a nuclear engineer.

This is really interesting. It's a good idea to mask around any large group of people, especially this time of year. If only I followed my own advice 🧐

So many Christians believe in an angry and vindictive God, which is interesting since that's what the New Testament was supposed to address. They can't love their neighbors as themselves because they don't really believe God loves them. 💝

The pollution in Pakistan, India, and China is so bad. My husband is from Pakistan, and I don't feel comfortable taking my children to visit for that reason alone. Which is unfortunate because I love going there.

Please witness what is happening and repost, at least occasionally, if you cannot give.

I no longer see With my eyes but with my heart The death we must live The loss of my love Remembering him with me And how we should be There is no shelter Missiles and bombs aimed to kill Nor justice to give We are God's people He will proclaim and decree Palestine as free #haiku 🇵🇸

I must say, I am guilty of not paying attention to conflicts in other parts of the world like I do to the one in Gaza, which is understandable in a way, but no excuse. Or even the conflicts in my own country because I'm "used to it."
