THREAD. It's important for all people of good will to understand the Laken Riley Act before the Senate votes on it tomorrow. It’s unconstitutional. It’s horrific in every word and clause. But there is a deeper, more imminent violence lurking beneath its hate-filled text.

a ceasefire where israel just returns to pre-2023 ethnic cleansing isn't acceptable either. it is still abominably evil and the colony must be dismantled in our lifetime because it's shown that it will commit genocide whenever it feels sufficiently emboldened.

[REPRO Rising Virginia @REPRORising_VA]
