Good morning

No one is coming to save us. We need to build working-class power, we need to build a movement that can crush fascism, we need to organize like never before. Because we don't have a democracy to save, but we do have one to build from the ground up. www.jphilll.com/p/the-suprem...

So if genocide doesn’t happen instantly it’s not genocide ? Make that make sense

It's a tough spot, but not genocide. If Israel had wanted to commit genocide it could have killed every last one of them the week after the terrorist attack.
