Sry I haven’t been on for a few days. Barbara passed on Monday in hospice and it’s been a tough couple days. Her GFM is no longer accepting donations, but I want to thank everyone who donated. She hadn’t raised enough funds to pay for home hospice, but your donations went toward a private aid 1/?

Please consider helping with her GFM if you have the means. She really is in a bad position. Please share widely if you can. gofund.me/f5357fbb
Wow voters dont want to be involved in killing thousands and thousands of people for no fucking reason SHOCKER
Hi. I’m way over 60 and Jewish and my Dem Rep is younger than me and I call him every day to remind him I voted for him as long as he’s been in office and I support a ceasefire. PS the average age of Republican reps is 57.
Direct quote from Israeli Defense Minister:"The Americans insisted and we are not in a place where we can refuse them. We rely on them for planes and military equipment. What are we supposed to do? Tell them no?” Quote is from www.thenation.com/article/arch...
Those Who Say “a Cease-Fire Won’t Work” Are Wrong. Here’s Why.
There are four arguments people often make to support Israel’s bombing campaign, and all of them are hollow.

Neither of my Michigan senators have sent any responses and I've emailed them almost daily for a month now. My rep sent one response at the beginning blaming it on Egypt and then nothing since.
My Representative and Senators are completely ignoring me, and are losing my vote. Usually I get a form letter that doesn't address why I wrote; on this subject, silence.
Congressional staffers say an onslaught of calls and emails asking for members to support a cease-fire has caught Dems completely off-guard. “I’ve never seen such a disconnect between where voters and constituents are and where Congress is"
Democratic Staffers Told To Let Constant Calls For Cease-Fire ‘Go To Voicemail’
Congressional staff say the mood inside the Capitol is tense, stifling and bewildering as members brush off their constituents’ outrage.

Like, what are these “resister” accounts even resisting if they support politicians who are participating in genocide 🤦🏼♀️ #Resist
At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.
Biden and the Democrat electeds refuse to do what 80% of their voters want, yet we are supposed to believe that Democrats are the party that wants to save democracy? #VoteBlue
The new House Speaker abruptly pulled a second crucial spending bill today because he found at the last minute that he couldn't get enough of his own Republicans to pass it. A government shutdown looms in just eight (8) days. And this is the garbage they are spending their time on:
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 3y agoThe House just held a vote on an appropriations amendment by Claudia Tenney to cut White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's salary down to $1. 165 Republicans voted for it. It failed by a vote of 165-257.
I keep hearing about how Dems support democracy, if that’s so then you’d think they’d do what 80% of Dem voters want them to do #CeasefireNow #VoteBlue
@CBSNews: The Vatican announced Wednesday that transgender people can be baptized and become godparents under certain conditions — but in several cases, said vaguely that it would leave decisions up to what it termed "pastoral prudence." https://t.co/14krlCv7VH
In honor of Joe Manchin retiring, let’s remember the fact that he single-handedly ended the Child Tax Credit, one of the most effective anti-poverty pieces of legislation in recent history, because he thought parents would use that money for drugs. www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-ma...

The West Virginia senator just killed Democrats' agenda. In private negotiations, he questioned whether the poorest Americans would spend financial aid wisely.

If Biden believes in democracy then why won’t he do what 80% of Dem voters want him to do? #CeasefireNow
Laura Ingraham says Democrats' platform is pot, porn and Planned Parenthood, and I think we've got a winning slogan for 2024
Family is trying to get Barbara home this week Monday or Tuesday, it’s looking like she doesn’t have much time left 😢

Protesters calling for a cease-fire overrun Grand Central Terminal. There were about 300 arrests. (That's a very large number, btw.)
Tamara Kneese@tamigraph.bsky.social · 3y ago“Steve Auerbach, a pediatrician in the city, said he was concerned about the children caught in the middle of the conflict. ‘This has to stop,’ he said. “Calling for a cease-fire should be considered a mainstream, normative position” At least the NYT is covering it www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10...
