A bit about me, starting with my profile picture. I'm a 3x deployed US combat veteran who is now opposed to imperialism and violence. I was raised in a cult hidden in the hills and later embraced evangelicalism and what I now recognize as Christian Nationalism. 1/2

At least 24 people are dead, and 54 wounded by the Israeli military.
At what point do we stop calling it a ceasefire? And when will our government cease our support for their genocide?
Trump was right about one thing; the US media is really selective in their reporting.

Having deployed 3x to the ME, I view this a horrible mistake. We have absolutely no business being there, and if it weren’t for oil, we wouldn’t be. Christians especially should be opposed to this, but alas, most of them are locked arms with the empire.
