alt-text: there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I’ll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn’t charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they’re not wearing a face mask, and that’s the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. The CDC just announced there are no more speed limits on highways, and I think this Ativan is finally hitting. The NYPD farmer’s market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen it’s warm today, too warm for March. But I don’t have time to think through the implications because there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop.

    Right? Sure, Biden is a milquetoast, but he’s not spilling hate speech or mandating violence on minorities. Sure he’s complicit in the genocide, but there’s nothing he can really do.

      Fuck off.

      He can easily dictate foreign policy and ensure his office is not using language supportive of Israel. He can openly condemn their actions. He can stop getting his Secretary of State to shield them at the UN. He can not fast track weapons to them. He can not push immigration bills that also have $14.1 billion in aid of Israel tacked onto them. And thats not even the half of it.

      To act like PotUS is some powerless position in regards to US support for Israel is asinine.

      Nothing at all. Just keep supporting everything Israel does, keep blocking any resolutions helping the Palestinians at the UN, keep funding the genocide. No, nothing at all he could do about any of that.
