I need to stop watching cable news. I swear it's like they don't want a ceasefire because they want the content it creates for them.

This country is not serious.

NEW: Democratic Party leaders @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries will be sharing a stage at today's "March for Israel" rally with far-right, extremist pastor John Hagee.

I’m so in awe of activists 🥺 my anxiety would never let me interrupt anything. Pathetic I know, considering what people are living through right now, but what I’ve been seeing on socials and how protestors are disrupting in order to demand a ceasefire is the only thing that really counters how dark everything feels due to the genocide

i've been keeping back because i'm pregnant and i just don't have the stamina these days and it's been so hard to see these protests happen and not be there

[inandoutofgrace]

It’s a good thing that we have other ways to support Palestine :)

[bellwetherr]

Rick Mercer is pathetic for trying to tear their signs down. Such a pathetic display. I hate how Canada pretends to be the good guy when really this country is just complacent.

Holy shit I did not realize that was Rick Mercer. Fuck him!!

[milkradio]

For real.

These people are so brave. My heart breaks every time I read the news.
