I gathered a few resources you can use & take action with to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. From a script you can use when calling Congress & a tool to email your Rep., to a protest locator & more.
There is no time like the present:
Hard to overstate how much worse things are going to get in a country where the population is armed to the teeth then conditioned to live in a constant paranoid state of fear.
2008 financial collapse? You should have considered the risks!
Student loan debt? You should have considered the risks!
Credit card debt? You should have considered the risks!
Hedge fund makes a risky bet & might go under? It's not their fault, shut everything down!

A young black father was listening to music in his own garage.
A white woman called the cops because the music was "too loud."
Cops showed up and killed him.
The jury awarded the family $4.
Yes, $4.
"I am very puzzled by the constant concern which the world is showing for the Palestinian people," says Dan Gillerman.
"I don't remember people shedding tears for the Taliban," he adds.

Today is the busiest, most hectic day of the year for pizza delivery people.
They're hourly workers, underpaid and most live paycheck-to-paycheck.
Today can be a GREAT opportunity for them to get ahead.
PLEASE tip them well.
Bernie fought relentlessly for years to create a better world for the marginalized, the poor, the working class, for everyone—and every step of the way he was viciously maligned, smeared and attacked by the people and entitles that actively make this world worse.
Here's Linda Thomas-Greenfield vetoing a UN Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian pause in Gaza on Oct 18. Had she not done this, it would have passed.
The United States is deeply concerned by the significant uptick in violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank. We condemn these killings – and we urge Israel to prevent these attacks, working with the Palestinian Authority.
A religious leader just interrupted Jeff Sessions and recited Matthew 25:42—43:
"I was hungry and you did not feed me. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me."
He was removed by police.
Another religious leader defended him.
He was also removed.
Democrats are keeping it classy at today's Netroots Nation conference.
Here's Florida socialist Maxwell Frost, a junior congressman, calling his state's Republican governor a "f--king fascist" because he disagrees with him.
Picking a fight with Chrissy Teigen to make everyone forget you randomly tried meet with the Taliban to make everyone forget you drew on a weather map with a sharpie to make everyone forget yo—
an unhinged cop shot jacob blake in the back several times for no reason with no recourse now tonight a psychotic militia cosplayer murdered someone in cold blood and the police just drove by. absolutely useless. they serve nobody but the elite & protect nothing but capital.

After mass shootings, the victims' families beg for sensible gun reform but Republicans say the tragedy shouldn't be politicized.
After one immigrant commits a crime, Republicans politicize the victim's death despite the victim's family begging them not to.
Nobody said on 9/11:
- “America must retaliate proportionally.”
- “Both sides need to show restraint.”
- “Where's the proof of all the dead bodies?”
- “You are oversimplifying. There is context about the conflict you're ignoring .”
- “Let's try to deescalate the situation.”
Yesterday was the busiest day for people taking action on after
@redveil
did this.
Several tens of thousands of people emailed & called Congress, signed petitions & found protests because of him.
Imagine if more artists used their platforms like this.
“Remember there was a ceasefire on October 6th, that Hamas broke by their barbaric assault on peaceful civilians.”
Listen to this thorough and comprehensive historical analysis by
@HillaryClinton
on the current war against Hamas.

The same people mad about Roseanne's "free speech" being violated because she got fired for being blatantly racist were just celebrating the NFL forbidding players from silently and peacefully protesting during the National Anthem.
JUST IN: The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passes the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, voting 410-4. The bill makes lynching a hate crime under federal law, the first time in U.S. history.
Ben Shapiro: "The great suspicion is that in Frozen 4, they'll make Elsa a lesbian ... If they do that, it is the end of Disney as a company. Predict it. You can write it down. It is April 17th. If they do that in Frozen 4, it will destroy Disney."
