A couple dozen protesters entered the lobby just after 2 PM, wearing black shirts with “JEWS SAY LET GAZA LIVE” written on the front. About 10 minutes later, Burbank police arrived at the building.

    The most interesting thing in the article was the police caring about optics. I guess it makes sense. Highlights the importance of politics & the press in protecting people.

    Adam Schiff may not be perfect but he’s on the better team. For now let’s focus on not letting the US be controlled by fascists. If the fascists finish taking over then Gaza will be in worse shape than if we prevent that from happening.

      Is there a reason they aren’t showing up at the majority party offices

      Yes. The reason being that there’s literally no chance of the fascists listening and a much more significant risk of them brutally retaliating one way or the other.

      He can’t do shit with GOP trifecta in place.

      If nothing else, he can vote against arming a genocide no matter who’s in the majority.

      Regardless of whether the bill passes, that’s the absolute minimum he can do as the Senator of a state whose population overwhelmingly condemn it.

      He made his name and thus the promotion from congressman to Senator by speaking truth to power while the fascists were in control.

      To refuse to do so now that he got the pay bump makes him appear like the grifting fraud he probably always was.
