The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:

Only one of us is throwing a tantrum and calling people names here.

If you have all the answers about how to solve this problem, it’s tragic that you are keeping them to yourself, while simultaneously blaming everyone else’s cowardice and incompetence for a situation we realistically have no control over.

I’m part of a group that regularly hand writes letters to representatives about issues including this one and I donate significant amounts of money to organizations that lobby the issues that are important to me, including this one. I canvas for local candidates that share my values. It’s all just farting into the wind though.

If you have the answer, please share.

If that's all just farting in the wind figure out how to do more, throw a brick or something I don't give a shit, but stop telling people to vote to use my labor to fund genocide and pad genociders paychecks cuz that's not a solution now and it's never going to be. The only answer I have is that everyone should be as mad as I am, everyone should be throwing a tantrum, in the middle of the fucking streets if possible. Come outside and yell with me, bring your friends, that's my answer.

Got it, throw bricks and insult people on social who share my values but feel powerless in the face of the capitalist juggernaut that is the US political system ✅

Has the genocide stopped yet?
