    I voted NO on the appropriations bill that the Senate passed last night. While hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children face starvation in Gaza, this bill actually prohibits funding to UNWRA, the key United Nations aid agency delivering life-saving humanitarian support. This will only intensify the already horrific situation in Gaza. This bill also provides another $3.3 billion in U.S. military aid for Netanyahu’s right-wing government to continue this barbaric war. The Netanyahu government should not receive another penny from U.S. taxpayers

    This isn’t just the democratic party refusing to help Palestinians, they’re actively funding the genocide.

    This shit wasn’t added to get republicans onboard, this was added because “moderates” and conservatives both support this genocide.

    No matter who gets elected, that won’t change.

    And that lack of choice will depress turnout, and that’s how Republicans win.
