People in Baltimore have been dying of overdoses at a rate never before seen in a major American city.
The city was once hailed for its response to #addiction. But as #fentanyl flooded streets & ofcls shifted priorities, deaths hit unprecedented heights.
"In effect, H.R. 8445 is a measure designed to ensure U.S. legal and financial protections are being extended directly to U.S. citizens on the ground in Occupied Palestine as they assist in the ongoing colonization, ethnic cleansing, and genocide of Palestinians"
"This act also only furthers a reality in which U.S. citizens are functionally incentivized to act as mercenaries for the Zionist colony,"

He's also prioritised getting #Trump re-elected in the #US, over the #UK General Election. The man is an unprincipled #FarRight grifter, who mugged off 52% of the electorate, & who should be charged with high treason.
The IDF has ignored US advice on how to avoid the mass killing of civilians in Gaza & hasn't even implemented its own existing avoidance policies. "There’s a huge disagreement on strategy now.
"The US has given Israel carte blanche up till now & continues to ship light weapons."
It's absolutely clear to the Palestinians that "the US is doing next to nothing to save them from the onslaught of the Israeli forces."
When we talk about how Republicans have been attacking the institutions and norms of our democracy, this is a great example. The norm was that these issues are ironed out as a matter of course. Suddenly, they are not. Like the norm was that Congress certify the Presidential election, until Republicans decided it was not, and we had Jan 6th.
(Colorado trying to keep Trump off the ballot for insurrection - also not the norm. But neither is insurrection!)
