We do NOT give up on Palestinian life, right? Every share helps reach someone who can chip in. Six families & a displacement camp depend on this link for:

- Three health emergencies (e.g., a high-risk pregnancy!)
- Food in famine
- Shelter in homelessness

Called my both of my US Senators to express my opinion that they should demand Schumer and Durbin step down from their leadership positions immediately.

You can do the same by dialing the US Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with your Senator's office.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Exactly right.

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

Yes, shaming people for despicable views amd behaviours is actually a key to maintaining a peaceful society. Not doing enough shaming is how we got to where we are.
One thing that I think we need to talk about around shame is that shaming is the lowest stakes and most acceptable option for handling this kind of behavior, and if you're going to ignore shame you're really not going to like the other options for how societies handle this stuff.
