Do establishment Democrats know how they look when they (rightly) condemn the firearm caused mass murder of children in America—but then arm war criminals like Netanyahu to mass murder children in Palestine? We must remember—the children are ours. All over the globe. #Palestine #Minnesota

As Citizens we are underrepresented Founders intent was for 30,000 people to have a federal representative [House]. Inflating that number to 70,0000 makes all sorts shenanigans possible Rigging the rules so you have an advantage when its close only works when it's close

Recently Joe Walsh elaborated on his defense of Israel in a written piece. I followed up to ask if he’d be open to my written rebuttal? “Absolutely,” was his immediate reply. So, here's my rebuttal to Walsh’s defense of what I deem Israel’s genocide on Palestine. www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-response...
