I Wouldn't expect any less from this gold plated cesspool founded on genocide, slavery, and exploitation.

"herp derp but we saved the world and beat the Nazis!" Yeah, we fought and defeated the Axis... after they decimated our pacific fleet and brought the war to us. Prior to that, eugenics were popular here, and practiced. Hell, some of our most infamous capitalists supplied and financed both sides of that war, after all, private profit is what America is all about.

wtf

Man what the fuck. What is their justification for this.

That's because it's a severe undercount, right?

...

Right?

House of Representatives Votes 269-144 to Ban State Department

from Citing Gaza Death Toll

Not allowing People to Know how many people have died is called being PRO LIFE!

Bought, cheaply, and paid for by AIPAC. Until this war I had no idea how politically deep they are.

This is insane.

I want names. I've got some angry letters to write.

“it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza”

LADY, WE DONT TALK ABOUT THE GENOCIDES THAT WE COMMMIT

Government banning speech, I understand it's what the government says, but I feel someone is going to test the limit on this, and the first amendment is going to suffer for it.

bipartisanship 🥰

I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed

What the fuck.

United States of Israel.

Someone should send them all copies of “The Monster at the end of the book”

This is why we don’t like censorship culture.

Everyone who summons a demon to help their cause thinks they can put a leash on the demon and keep it in its lane.
