My sister who's literal job is human rights law just told me I am selfish because as a dude my rights are not harmed in the US by Trump so I am "allowed" to favor the rights of Palestinians. Absolute ghoul. I think it really bothers her that we tacitly agree on most everything, but I am willing to stand by my values.

    Ask her why biden-troll , in power right now, with expanded executive powers thanks to the Supreme Court, hasn't done a damn thing to help on this issue? It's so fucking dumb these people pretend they are powerless when they get elected. And so many people keep falling for it football-lucy
