Just sent that video to the WH. They don’t care. I’m just hoping someone on that team watches this video and vomits as a result. What the literal fuck????? And this is just one atrocity of thousands.
In my recent calls to Sen Tammy Baldwin's (D-WI) offices in Madison and DC I have begun directing the messages to the staff, noting I know the senator is getting too much money from AIPAC to care what I think, but my message is for you, the staffer taking this message. Your boss is helping to fund and perpetuate war crimes, which means you are actually helping to make war crimes possible.
A staffer recently sighed and said, "I'll be sure to let the Senator know your thoughts."
I said, "No, don't waste the time. My message is to you and your colleagues. Do something to confront her cruelty, stand up for those kids or walk out of the office and let her do her own calls and paperwork for fascist genocide. Stop being complicit by doing her dirty work."
I did a recent cartoon and column on the issue where I explain the strategy: "IT'S TIME: To (Politely) Challenge Congressional Staffers On Their Role In US/Israeli Genocide" -- "Are Congressional Staffers — from pencil pushers on up to senior staff — morally responsible for enabling the daily slaughter their Congressional boss funds, arms and lies for? Absolutely."
From the column:
Was the office clerk who tallied the daily death count and filed the paperwork for the next shipment of Zyklon B gas at the Auschwitz death camp complicit — and thus sharing in the responsibility for those deaths? Of course.
Are Congressional Staffers — from pencil pushers on up to senior staff — morally responsible for enabling the daily slaughter their Congressional boss funds, arms and lies for? Absolutely. Without a doubt. Through their daily work in Congressional offices, they are complicit in our war crimes. They are the little cogs of the death machine that makes it all possible.
I have to admit it's tough for me to not get heated, but I just focus on being firm and referencing some atrocity within the past day to make it as real and relevant as possible. I make such calls 3-4 times/week. Let me know how it goes.
Sadness and rage go beyond words, despicable argument to tragic, no foreseeable future for this little girl as for thousands, tens of thousands of victims whose trauma will never heal, and who will perpetuate forever, the spirit of resistance.
I ask myself: What remains of humanity in you, I am not addressing the executioners of the IOF, but to you, Senators, Congressmen, political decision-makers, who continue to lead your miserable lives after seeing the tangible result of your inconsistencies, of your complicit submission, you who, in the evening, will rediscover the warmth of a home, the smile of a child, a restful sleep, preceded by a sigh of satisfaction after a busy day.
I pity you,
I pity you, I pity your narrow mind, sick, incapable of sensitivity, of sharing and who is not able to imagine that an identical fate could one day strike him and
I pity you, I pity your narrow mind, sick, incapable of sensitivity, of sharing and who is not able to imagine that an identical fate could, one day, strike him and those he loves… How much longer will you be able to face the image of your mirror?… your descent into hell is well under way…
I thought the story of the little girl who survived the bombing was horrific enough, but then you snuck in that horrible picture at the end. Truly Biden is the devil. He will burn in hell soon enough.
Isn't that image horrific ... and totally documentary in capturing the soul-rotted reality of such a banal, empty, evil soul. I never cared for the asswipe, but now I hate him as much as his comrades: Bibi Netanyahu, Pol Pot, Hitler and Mussolini.
I feel the same way about my supposedly "progressive" Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, the first openly gay senator. At a recent campaign event in the town I lived in until a few years ago, someone referred to the Gaza situation as a 'genocide'. She dismissively said, "Oh, I wouldn't use that word."
Of course she couldn't say the "G-word" in public. All the puppets in DC are scared that if they use the word and acknowledge what's happening, they will be asked, "Why didn't you stop it or say something about how wrong it was?" And then there's the ICJ and ICC and the charges of war crimes that could be charged against any and all who could have done something to stop the genocide... All of Congress who voted to send bombs to Israel could be charged. And imprisoned. In a perfect world, at least.
And there's all the Zionist PAC money. Her third largest doner is JStreet and she has actually received more money from AIPAC than Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, but he's not up for reelection this year. She is and I will not vote for her even though I have twice in the past and even though her opponent is an absolute monster: Heads a monster, tails a monster.
Write in another name or leave the race blank. You do NOT have to vote for all items on a ballot. I leave a lot of races blank since there are only Red Fascist and Blue Fascist running for that office. Whenever there is a potential third/alternative party candidate, I vote for that person if they're not a fascist as well. But always vote your conscience and leave blanks to keep your conscience clear.

Should they be called out?
Yes.
Politely.
But firmly.

Agreed. My ballot has more and more blank spots.
