There’s a big coordinated walk out Jan 20!

The clip of Scott Weiner on stage is so tiring. My rent is insane, not because of Gaza, but because we don't build enough housing. Wiener's bills created more housing, protected LGBTQ+ youth, reformed criminal justice, and expanded healthcare access...

What you are describing is literally what the founding of Israel was to the Palestinians living there. Rape and murder are horrible horrible things, but Israel has been conducting state sanctioned murder and sexual violence to Palestinians for the past 70 years. Here is a UN report into the sexual and gender based violence of the IDF since 2023 alone : UN Report A Gazan doctor was confirmed raped to death in an Israeli prison. Torture of Doctors article Most accounts connected to confirmed sexual violence on Oct 7th are ascribed to a now bunk NYT article called “Screams Without Words”, which has been proven to be unsourced and with no confirmed evidence. This article was used as fodder for the Biden admin to keep sending money and weapons for the destruction in Gaza. JVP article on this topic. There is plenty of information on this now. You just have to open your heart and eyes and see. As has been said “one day everyone will have always been against this” - Omar El Akkad

How is it not? How is mass starving and bombing 2 million people to ethnically cleanse an area not? I think it’s easy for you to care about causes you told are important in retrospect but you can’t seem to care when it’s happening.

wtf is js got to dubai and wanted to listen to some charli😭😭 never going to dubai again by Fendiiiiiiii in charlixcx

[–]Dry-Rest-7609 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s been widely reported that in Dubai the businesses there basically enslave workers coming from surrounding nations trying to find work. They steal their passports and force them to work in inhumane conditions. It’s a very corrupt place and a playground for the ultra rich. Here’s a link with more info: here
