People say it’s foreign trolls or tiktok that sows cynicism and maybe a bit, but I think watching 4 wks of kids being pulled out of rubble then reading your govt magically found $14B extra to do more of that and also your schools and roads are falling apart may contribute as well
I was sent to Congress to save lives, I was not sent to Congress to have my constituent’s tax dollars buy bombs to kill thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children.
We choose peace and love.

The way they’ve spent days & hours emphasizing the violence of Tyre Nichols’ murder like it’s a countdown to a movie release tells you everything about the depravity of the system we live under.
All this advance media hype about tonight’s release of the Tyre Nichols murder by police is reminding me of late 19th and early 20th newspaper announcements that invited the public to come watch a lynching.
The video of Tyre Nichols is brutal. NOTHING requires that level of force. Cop culture is disgusting. And the fact that they thought any of this was okay is a reflection of the system they signed on to be a part of. I’m disgusted. He lost his life over a traffic stop. My God.
It is not on us to change the regime - But it is on us to be very clear that those who fight for #freedom in the streets of #Iran have our full solidarity and support.
14.000 are at imminent threat of #execution and #Raisi has already slaughtered thousands back in 1988.
These two MPs from Iran, Zohreh Elahian & Kazem Gharibabadi, were among the 227 MPs calling for the execution of protesters.
How on earth can they now travel to NYC to attend the UNGA’s meetings? Why are these proponents execution and death being taken seriously?
