One thing that's becoming very clear is the extent to which Zionists use Black Americans as a human shield to justify inflicing Jim Crow-style apartheid against Palestinians.
they shamelessly called this hero a terrorist as well. we have to stop letting these cynical monsters exploit the trauma of 9/11 25 years later, to once again justify waging wars in the middle east and denying americans their civil liberties
🚨 BREAKING:
Reporter: "What do you make of Republicans saying Virginia—"
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "Whoa, whoa, whoa."
"For 10 years, we've asked Republicans to ban partisan gerrymandering, but they've refused. They've fought for it across the U.S., and these are the rules they created.
If Republicans want to start this, they did it in North Carolina. They gerrymandered three Democratic members of Congress out of North Carolina. They did it in Texas too.
What angers them is that they're used to a Democratic Party that gives in easily, doesn't fight back, and accepts everything quietly. Now we're in a new era. We demanded Democrats stand and fight, and now they have — and Republicans don't like that they're fighting for people who will actually defend the American people.
So if Republicans want to reconsider banning partisan gerrymandering, I welcome it. We have the bill here to end it all today. But they don't want that because they enjoy maintaining an unfair electoral system. So it's our duty to defend ourselves."
I’m always astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.
We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.
