  • The ceasefire has been bullshit from the beginning, it was just a way for Israel and Hamas to put a formal end on things that allowed them both to say they got what they wanted out of this bloodbath, but it hasn’t and won’t stop Israeli soldiers from killing Palestinians or Hamas fighters from trying to kill Israeli civilians, and it definitely won’t do anything to put us on a path to any kind of real and lasting peace. We’re right back where we were on October 6, only with 40,000+ dead civilians and a bunch of essential infrastructure destroyed.


  • lately I’ve been asking if people will write an email to a politician or a celebrity or a business leader, anyone who has the ability to talk to the media, and ask them to use that ability to talk about the plight of Palestinians

    It’s almost like after months of having their concerns dismissed and being called Russian plants or whatever else people aren’t inclined to engage in political action alongside the kinda kinds of people who they think said those things. Oh well, at least this is just a silly thing that happens on social media and doesn’t have any relevance at all to the Democratic party’s ability to turn out votes or anything /s

    e; fixed a typo and added some words to make my point clearer



  • It never really existed to begin with, it’s just a face saving fiction for both Israel and Hamas to say “actually we got exactly what we wanted out of this and sure showed those other guys so we can declare victory now”, but Israeli soldiers will continue murdering Palestinians when they feel like it and Hamas will continue lobbing rockets at iron domes to remind everyone they exist and nothing will have changed except 40,000+ Palestinians are dead now










  • It’s a scenario that was so concerning to Washington state Rep. Sharlett Mena that she introduced legislation that would make uninvited deployments of out-of-state troops illegal. Her bill cleared a committee last week and has the backing of Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson, who pushed for the proposal in his inaugural address last month.

    But, as she noted to her colleagues last week, if Trump were to federalize National Guard units, there’s nothing the state could do to prevent it; a presidential order preempts state authority.
