I was a raised a Zionist Jew in North Miami. I had my bat mitzvah in Jerusalem. I planted a tree under armored guard. Zionism is colonialism, NOT Judaism. The Palestinians are victims of genocide. Do NOT let Zionists speak for Jews. Not now, not EVER again.

Katie Porter, IMHO, is the best representative in Congress today. GOP spent $8 MILLION to unseat her. Dems spent just $300k to help her. Don’t think for a second that this wasn’t deliberate. The corporate wing of BOTH parties want her gone.
