“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are.

But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

🚨Since the war with Iran started, the Israeli government has closed Gaza’s crossings. These crossings are the main routes for humanitarian aid to enter and the only way critically ill Palestinians can leave Gaza for treatment. Gaza doesn’t have enough food. Don’t stop talking about Gaza.
