51. I don't get the Israel thing

Reply to 3_Limes (Original post)

Wed Feb 4, 2026, 10:19 AM

Wednesday

Seriously -that lands with me up there with the Genocide Gaza thing.

Right now - I'm looking at the number of 'targeted' Detention Centers - and realizing that Black folks? We are the end game.

I'm done with voting for harm reduction for OTHERS,

I'm all about my own family now. We are the targets of the coming American genocide.

So tell me - why should I care about anything Schumer says as long as we have the 2nd Amendment in the USA and the Castle Doctrine in NJ?
