I wrote about how inflation & the high cost of living in the US forced millions of Americans to rack up credit card debt to make ends meet.

One thing I think we can all now agree on is that the Ukraine crisis shows that calling for an economic, corporate, or even cultural boycott of a foreign nation engaged in human rights abuses is not illegitimate, inappropriate or… racist.
In the midst of the 2014 Israeli killing of over 2,300 people in Gaza, not only did Google not ban any IDF Youtube channels, it actually allowed a game called Bomb Gaza to be sold from Google Play. Other Gaza inspired games available were Gaza Assault: Code Red and Iron Dome.

1/ Colin Powell is being celebrated as a statesman, a ‘kind,’ ‘decent’ man and a model diplomat. At worst, he’s being called ‘complicated’ - which is a strange way to say ‘war criminal.’ For over 50 years Powell was a key figure in the US military and political establishment.

-Stands with Iranians with crippling sanctions
-Stands with Iraqis with bombs
-Stands with Yemenis with a famine-inducing blockade
Maybe starving & killing people isn’t the best way to help them. Maybe. #EndTheBlockade
Palestinians get cleared out of their neighborhoods so Israelis can gather and chant “death to Arabs” 👇🏽
The US pays $10,400,000 *per day* to fund this state sponsored racism.
Millions of Yemenis are being starved by the @JoeBiden administrations support of the Saudi blockade on Yemen.
This is what it looks like.
If the blockade isn't lifted soon, 400,000 children could die this year.
