Israel, the United States and Hamas are close to an agreement to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for the first sustained pause in conflict in Gaza, according to people familiar with its provisions.

        I feel shame for being American and not laying down my life to oppose this demon shithole.

            I won’t be young forever. Hell I’m not sure if I’m even still young now.

            Good idea. Thanks for your support. I hope you join me.

              I won’t, because I’m not under the impression that armed conflict that kills millions and obliterates the country economically and socially for decades (the ‘best’ realistic scenario) is better than the status quo. Of course, more likely than that is that ‘laying down’ your life to oppose the US will just result in you laying down your life and nothing else happening, because the millions of people living here are also not keen on overthrowing the government for [checks notes] being allies with bad countries.

          I mean, you do you. But dying also won’t help stop Trump.
