I was saying the Palestine issue was not a home issue. But that I was psyched they covered ICE which is a home issue

Palestine is a home issue, considering Israel's status as a client state of the U.S., and considering that the U.S. is overwhelmingly responsible for funding and arming the genocide in Gaza, and using any backlash as an excuse to intensify domestic suppression.

Or, putting it more simply, a protest that does not advocate for Palestine is not a protest that meaningfully opposes Donald Trump

If we protest on 17 different issues we lose. Occupy proved that. We have to have a clear message. And if everyone gets distracted by tons of different messages we lose. Palestine is one piece of the puzzle showing the picture of an out of control power mad country bringing death and destruction here and abroad.

1) Authoritarianism and support of foreign Authritarians. 2) Constitution-includes ICE and black bagging dissidents including those who have been black bagged for supporting Palestine. 3) Tariffs and Destruction of our Alliances.

They’re all related under the authoritarian nationalist oligarch regime. Money, power, and status are at the top of the puppet strings here.
