alt-text: thereās laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. Iāll 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 isnāt 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 theyāre not wearing a face mask, and thatās 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 farmerās market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen itās warm today, too warm for March. But I donāt have time to think through the implications because thereās laundry to do and a genocide to stop.
It was more than 30 settlers in the first batch, and it was clear that they wouldnāt stop there.
And itās Hamas that is delaying the truce at this point, because they either donāt know where their own hostages are, or the hostages are all dead already and they donāt want to admit it.
Fuck off with your lies.

It was 4 not 3, and certainly not 30. 4 people who were never going to go to the US or using US banks cant do so. Big fucking deal. Bidens an absolute flog whos doing nothing of substance.
And its not even connected to Israels current genocide in Gaza, which neans it does nothing to help end what he supports Israel doing.
Go on liar, prove this wrong.
Turns out my source was also counting other countries, so fair enough.

Still, a ceasefire agreement has been proposed, and Hamas is the reason it hasnāt happened yet.
Also keep in mind that sanctions need to be ramped up gradually. That gives people time to change their behavior instead of immediately being punished by brand new policies, and it makes the sanctions relevant for a much longer period of time. If you go straight to 100% and your targets just get used to it, then you canāt use that card anymore.
Israel is the reason it hasnt happened. Israel has refused to attend the negotiations, Hamas has given its side.

Hamas doesnāt get to say āwe donāt know where any of the hostages areā and then follow that by saying āthe ball is in Israelās courtā. Thatās fucked.
Gaza is levelled, 30,000 people are dead, millions are starving to death, communications have been cut, and you cant even move around freely without being murdered by Israeli soldiers.
How dare they not have the logistics in place to know everything!
Genocidal nazis like Israel dont get to demand shit. And still Biden supports them.
Itās the single most important thing for Hamas to know. When they say they donāt know, it just means they tortured, raped and killed all of the hostages, but they donāt want to admit to it.
Stop spreading IDF propaganda.

For all we know Israel has killed them like it did with those 3. How can anyone tell with Israels indiscriminate terror bombings.
