Here's what I was taught:

Always vote to reduce harm.
Especially to those who don't have your advantages.

Don't know why this is so hard for some people.

And why they are so proud of opting *not* to do that.

Assuming the hostages are actually released and Israel does pull out of Gaza, perhaps another positive outcome will be that people will get it through their heads that MOST OF US JEWS ACTUALLY CAN’T STAND NETANYAHU.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

This is something a lot of white people don't get about segregation...the GI bill did not apply to anyone not white until legislation passed for it much later.

Wine is my muse @timothyjones.bsky.social · 1d

My Grandfather fought in WW2. While the GI Bill lifted an entire generation of White vets, he was unable to obtain a GI Home Loan or a college education. Racial discrimination was legal in banking and education...and there weren't enough Black colleges to serve the demand. Reparations are due

“I’d like to be as happy as the Palestinian people in Gaza are right now but I can’t” pretty much sums up everything you need to know about these people.

I’m skeptical this ceasefire will hold as much as anyone but if you can’t allow the Palestinians joy, however temporary, you ain’t on their side
