      It’s going to save money, so they can cut police, fire, ambulance budget. Too bad for you if the drone doesn’t see you bleeding in the street or takes a while to

      Black, Middle Eastern, or anyone that opposes Israel’s occupation of the United States. Take your pick but when midterms come and you’re told you have to pick the pro-genocide Democrat then remember, this is what you voted for.

        saying israel is occupying america is a little bit removing americas agency for being in the situation we are in. most of us didn’t agree to it, but still.

        but yes i am also livid at the democrats.

          Sorry we can’t all be billionaires who got us into this position. Yes, you could say oligarchs got us into rhis, and in reality Zionism is really just the colonial project of the oligarchs
