I'm one of those Americans [who is] really sick and tired of the narrative that we're constantly told: That we're supposed to hate some country that's overseas—that maybe we've never been to.

We don't know anything about that country, but we're told that they're the greatest threat to our freedoms and our democracy, and that we have to go to war with them.

I've never seen a Houthi—or however you pronounce it—I don't even know what they look like! I haven't seen them back home in The Bronx where I live; I haven't seen them in Washington D.C., and I keep saying: How is this a threat to everyday Americans?

The movement against the US/Israel genocide in Gaza has been pressuring the Democrats to take the correct position on this issue for nearly two years. They spit in our face and threw an easily winnable election away to defend their genocide. Now they are being flanked by the fucking Fascists. Even if the current motions of the Trump administration are entirely superficial it is substantially more than what the Democrats did under Biden+Kamala's leadership. This is an absolute disaster for Liberals. Nobody is ever going to forget this. They embraced an immoral, unpopular policy - a policy so evil it gives the Fascists the room they need to even pretend they're the good guys - and this is the outcome.
