The death toll up to this point is about 45k. Israel has not settled any land in Gaza or started expelling Palestinians into neighboring countries. There is a lot of room for it to get worse.

You know you can do more than pressure them, right? You can get involved with your state party, which in turn elects the leaders of the national party. You can vote in the primaries and kick out corporate Dems. We know this works because it's precisely how the fascists took over the Republican party.

Israel has its own weapons industry. Not that it matters. The Palestinians are defenseless. They could use machetes and nothing would stop them except what I already pointed out.

Oh bullshit. The only way to get a ceasefire is for the Israeli people to force out Netanyahu. Nothing short of that or invading would make a difference.

Except the "Small government" is even bigger. The only difference is that all the money gets handed to oligarchs. The Republicans have never reduced spending while in power.

This kind of shit is why the right keeps winning. Even the people that oppose them buy into their framing and repeat their lies and propaganda.

If you don't think every major US site has been freely giving your data to the government for 20+ years, you're painfully naive. US law has never required a warrant for this type of thing due to the Third Party Doctrine.

I just want to say one last "Fuck you Kyrsten Sinema, you traitorous piece of shit."

It was over 14 years, which still comes out to half a liter per day.

If he gave a shit about the country, he would have voted to convict Trump back in 2021.

Nobody under the age of 60 watches tv news or reads newspapers, never mind that most of those are owned by right-wing billionaires and are managed opposition at best. They also have a paywall around them that keep out most people.

Compare that to the right-wing propaganda machine that infects absolutely every type of media. There are dozens of bullshit "news" sites with no paywall that get top billing in news aggregators, they've gamed the YouTube, Facebook, etc algorithms to promote their propaganda, right wing podcasts like Joe Rogan get promoted front and center on Spotify and so on

I'm sure his conclusion at the end was "We need to build nukes immediately".
