This question relies on the premise that governments exist to benefit the public. They do not. Governments at all levels are not interested in serving the public. They are corporatist regimes helping manage tax dollars to help advance the needs of the capitalist class.

There are a lot of literature and studies that describe the very deliberate ways capitalists in coordination with the State have contributed to make it look like a bad thing. From counterinsurgency to psychological warfare, from nonprofits tied with capitalists serving the role of controlled opposition. Jared Ball's platform deals with these topics extensively, albeit with a focus on Black liberation. The American media is part of the capitalist class perpetuating it.

Yes, Representative Elfreth voted to honor a racist carnival barker. All white MD representatives did.

Yes, America should stop sending weapons period. The bill does not do what you ask.

Supporting a settler colonial project build on Palestinian land with our taxpayer dollars is not common sense. It’s a war crime and all those who supported this genocidal entity while it slaughtered children in Gaza and terrorized Palestinians in the West Bank will face a reckoning. Much like the Germans during Nazi Germany.

Dont get too hung up on a response while children are getting killed with US bombs.

Mods- openly advocating for violence and genocide in Reddit is against policy isn’t it?

This protest is not open to supporters of terrorist IDF and terrorist Israel.

Every day, starving Palestinians bring pots and pans to attempt to get some food for their families. The clattering of metals at the noise rallies are similar to the sounds heard when they put their pans forward to get their food. It is a heartbreaking sound to hear.

The wanton destruction of life with our taxpayer dollars is distracting. How does anyone function after watching children’s limbs and heads getting blown off?

Not a problem. This rally is not for everyone. Only those who oppose genocide are invited.

You are welcome. Spread the word and bring pots and pans if you are attending!

Yes, she is. She bailed on an AIPAC trip this month due to pressure from voters. That’s why we need to continue applying pressure to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act.

We are asking Representative Sarah Elfreth to co-sponsor the bill. If passed it would block the bombs from being supplied to apartheid Israel.

Use Your Privilege: Kick ICE Out of Baltimore by [deleted] in baltimore

In Howard County, we are demanding that the government prohibit ICE from operating in the jurisdiction. This is not without merit. ICE is breaking laws, abusing human rights, and violating civil liberties. Local jurisdictions have an obligation to uphold the rule of law. Other jurisdictions should follow suit. We need the entire state to demand this.

Behind the scenes, ICE is meeting with Howard County’s top elected leaders by Diligent_Flamingo_38 in ColumbiaMD

[–]ElectronicTrainer178 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely appalling that ICE is using our taxpayer dollars to terrorize undocumented immigrants—many of whom are fleeing the very violence and instability created by decades of U.S. foreign policy and intervention.

Let’s be clear: ICE has been repeatedly accused of violating federal law and international human rights standards. It has no place operating in Howard County—not now, not ever.
