All, the U.S. just vetoed today's UN security resolution calling for a ceasefire: usun.usmission.gov/explanation-...
So, here's what I want to encourage everyone to do.
1. Call your reps. Everyone. As much as possible, try and make it a call. Make the phones ring so much, the office can't operate.

Jewish Voices for Peace also has a letter demanding Biden to call a ceasefire. Admittedly, after today's Securiry Council vote, I'm further dismayed. But pressure is crucial. These mofos in office need to know where we stand via every mode.

President Biden, call a ceasefire now. - JVP
The unthinkable becomes acceptable when we deny people their humanity. We must fight to bring this devastating violence to an immediate end.

I called both my senators today and their voicemails were full, so I called their local offices and left messages there. I called my congressmember and did get to talk to a staffer. Don’t give up.

The Edgar is all the rage among the foos
To the unsympathetic eye, the hairstyle is peculiar, so childlike and unflattering as to be offensive. But as rasquache provocation, it’s also a work of anti-assimilationist art
