The thing is. I know you’re lying about seeing both parties as the same. You’re obviously lying because all the call your legislature actions were directed at Democratic lawmakers. If they were the same why wouldn’t you try the same tactic on the right? If trump and Biden are the same why aren’t you pushing his campaign to address this issue? It’s because there is a difference and you know it. And there is a difference on abortion policy, trans health care, queer people generally, and the social welfare state that examples under Biden with expansions to the ACA. Just. What are we even doing here? YOU don’t even think they’re the same. Even now most efforts are directed to trying to get democratic lawmakers to move. Why would that be true if there was no difference? Come on
ok then vote for biden idc lmao. what are *you* doing sending me this? to shame me? im not taking political opinions from an anon who is obviously not palestinian and has no ties to the palestinian community. they're the same. get out of my inbox. you dont know what i experience or what i do outside of tumblr lmao. youre an unpaid biden campaign spokesperson at least get paid first.
im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
Maybe this is just me but I am really surprised that 2023 was the first time a lot of people heard about Palestine because 2021 was when settlers tried expelling Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah - this then escalated to the IOF attacking Palestinians in Al Aqsa and throughout the country (almost 300 Palestinians in Gaza were killed and thousands were injured) - there were massive protests all over the world in response. 2021 really laid the foundations for everything that is happening now but it surprises me how little people actually mention the uprising then or were even aware it was happening.
If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."
My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.
Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.
