At least 4,609 children have been killed since October 7th. For an state looking to see retaliation against a specific group, the seem to be exceptionally bad at it. They also seem to be incredibly bad at getting their own people back who have been gone for more than one month. I want the government of the US to call for a ceasefire, a call to a return of hostages, an end to the occupation, and freedom and equal rights for the Palestinian people.

I think Tommy Vietor said it best on the latest Pod Save The World, Hospitals should never be targets of war. Full stop. You don’t need to be a parent to understand that this. I am so sickened everyday by the lack care shown. We all inhabit this world, and despite what the rich try to sell us, we have enough to go around, stop letting politicians tell us otherwise.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, that is expected. This is a bus that I can not advocate getting off of. We can’t be free until all of us are free. This means the people of Palestine and the hostages taken on October 7th.
