Israel is preventing the WHO from sending incubators into Gaza.

Think about how savage, how barbaric, how evil, you have to be to defend that and defend the government doing that.

It sends a chilling message to students and faculty: if you are a Jew who questions Zionism, you are suspect. If you engage in solidarity w/Palestinians, you do not belong.

New candidates:

Run. Against. Oligarchy.

Run on restoring and expanding public goods and services and paying for it by taxing wealth extracting billionaires like Elon and his buddies.

Run on getting them out of government and ending their reliance on taxpayer money.

Vilify the billionaires.
This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Republicans are slashing $23B from the PACT Act, denying vets the care they EARNED.

My sister, a USAF vet, served near a burn pit—her disability pay is for the pain it caused.

Cutting funding means thousands like her suffer without care. Veterans deserve better
