It doesn't matter if you are on the left or the right, fascism is here in the US every which way we look and if we do not vote these fascists out, the hell we are experiencing now will be a picnic in comparison to what our future will be with either conservative party in power.
There is almost too much to unpack, but I am going to attempt to cover all of the fascist actions that the US government has thrown at Americans and the world this week. It’s been hard not being able to share my thoughts and I am going to have to make some changes so that I can write throughout the week to keep abreast of. This world is rapidly declining and we need to take steps so that it does not disappear and we lose our freedom and rights. It’s not the time to lose our voice, but to turn the volume up, and I will make the sacrifices needed so that I won’t lose my voice, my hope, and my rights.
Settle in. Let’s get started.
So the Gaza aid pier has been proven to be a ruse…
As I suspected from the first mention of the pier, it was all a ruse and it cost the American taxpayers a hefty amount in the figure of $320 million dollars, which has been thrown to the sea. Can you imagine what that money could have done for schools in the US? Can you imagine what that money could have done for Americans who do not have clean drinking water? There are hundreds of ways this money could have been spent on issues that Americans desperately need addressed, but it was wasted on a floating pier that was only used by Israel for a large-scale attack on innocent Palestinians. There is still barely any aid entering Gaza and this was to be a solution, but the US and other western allies are doing nothing to press Israel into opening the borders for aid shipments to enter the strip. And no one is taking any form of action to get aid in. The UN is continually releasing information and statements about the dire need for food, water, and medicine in Gaza, but it is falling on uncaring ears. So world leaders are letting Israel and the US slide, and also supporting the forced starvation of millions of Palestinians because of this purposely foiled pier? This was enough effort for Israel and the US to get countries off of their back about aid entry into Gaza? Even when this US constructed pier was used for Israeli operations only and not for humanitarian use? This is why I firmly stand in the fact that all elected leaders need to go. Doesn’t matter what country you live in, they all need to go. Dismantle all the systems and let’s rebuild a system where we are heard and our rights matter the most.
USA Today: US pier in Gaza plagued by troubles shuts down after two months
It’s not just the aid pier, but the US withholding 500 lb. bombs is back on the table and currently being shipped to Israel. Apparently the 2000 pound and 500 pound bombs were both denied to Israel, but now the 500 pound bombs are on route to Israel. The thing is, it doesn’t matter because Israel has had over 14,000 of the 2,000 pound bombs sent to them from the US since the start of the Israel-Hamas war began, on top of whatever their stockpile is already. Israel continues to bomb and target Palestinian civilians and aid workers. Their goal is for a genocide and whatever show the US is trying to pull off that they are not assisting in this genocide is completely ludicrous. No country needs 14,000 of these devastating bombs. The only reason a country would need them and then throw a massive tantrum that they do not have more, is for a genocide, which the US is fully supplying.

Horrific debate and press conferences from both Trump and Biden. Now Trump has been shot at. What is next?!
What really hurts to witness liberals/moderate conservatives (also known as moderate conservatives, which is why I add the slash when I refer to them) are calling for Biden to end his run for a second term as president because he is not cognitively up for the job, when it should have been also because he is assisting in multiple genocides. Joe Biden is unfit to be president. Donald Trump is unfit to be president. Biden could not even remember his VP’s name. This is downright dangerous to have someone in power that is this incapacitated. Trump is no better off and frequently confuses people as well. They are both aging fascists and their fascism is rapidly increasing along with their decline. Today, Trump was shot at during a rally. Is anyone shocked? This extreme conservative has exulted violence and promoted it, and now that it has been used against him, he is the victim and will use that to gain votes. I am not one to push for physical assaults on anyone, no matter how detestable they are, they simply need to be removed from power and face the consequences of their own criminality. That energy could be used for so much good, and now that Trump has been shot, he will use this as his “war story.” One is bound to catch a few strays when one delves deep into violent rhetoric and culture. What voters need to focus on is third party candidates that can make a difference and changes for Americans. Have hope and faith. Your vote does make a difference.

Meta bans the term Zionist.
When freedom of speech really is not that on social media platforms that claim they are supporters for the 1st Amendment, but they are being overtly heavy handed in their banning of pro-Palestinian accounts and not Zionists that are promoting violence and genocide. It’s amazing that in this day and age, that murder can be promoted and applauded, but the people speaking out against mass murder of innocent people are the ones that are condemned and silenced. It is apparent that Instagram and Facebook want users to share in these beliefs that violence and genocide are acceptable, and those who advocate for peace and human rights to be labeled as hate speech. Can you imagine labeling someone’s actions that are trying to protect human rights as hate speech? This is the world we exist in and unless we all call these actions out and boycott these companies, nothing will be done and the cycle will perpetuate itself because they feel they are above reproach. The thing is, these companies are all touchable and can be affected by boycotts, look at Starbucks. Don’t support companies that use hate speech as a means to attack and silence people who are trying to protect human rights.

Microsoft is shutting down Palestinian accounts.
Another company that needs to be boycotted is Microsoft for their actions against Palestinians. Microsoft is shutting down Palestinians email accounts and Skype access all because they are Palestinian. This is overt racism and unacceptable. Families and loved ones are trying to connect with each other and have no access to their friends and families now because Microsoft is a callously suppressing their ability to communicate.

The Democrats are refusing to listen to voters.
Voters want another candidate other than President Biden. Biden is refusing to step aside. The Democrats are disregarding millions of their voters who would vote for another candidate. This is just peak fascism here. Biden, who said he would run for just one term as a favor to the party, won’t relinquish his power even though he is not up for the riggers of the position. He has not kept the major promises he has made when running either. To top it all off, he is fully aiding in Israel’s genocide. The Democrats won’t listen. Even the supposed progressives and leftists of the party like AOC and Sanders are endorsing Biden still. However, there is a growing number of democrats who are calling on Biden to end his run for a second term. What is absolutely mind boggling is the fact that there are democrats who think Biden is an acceptable candidate and that these democrats who are extreme Biden supports are now fully attacking other democrats who oppose his run. One can easily see how tied to conservatism the Democratic Party is.
