First time disagreeing w/ Greta. 2016 showed us what will happen. Dems haven't moved to the left since then and they never will. Trump winning won't be some big wakeup call for the DNC. Instead it will be worse for climate, for Palestine, for immigrants, for women, for everybody.

Weighing on me this morning that the reason we see less and less footage from Gaza, is because there are fewer and fewer people well-enough, able, even alive, to document the ceaseless violence on the ground.
Watching that xenophobic shitshow after spending hours today barely getting a woman fleeing persecution even the *ability* to present her fear claim under Biden’s new asylum ban was… well honestly not that different than any other day in immigration law in the past 8 years
“In these last three weeks, we have seen single mothers with children turned away for something as small as @CBP didn't believe they had a translator available to interview the person,” said @jenn_babaie via @NewsHour on Biden’s latest anti-asylum rule.
