  • My family is planning on moving to Europe, not exactly sure where. It’ll probably largely depend on where we can get residency and jobs. Spain and Austria are our current leaders for various reasons.

    We’ve been unhappy with the way American society functions for a long time and we’re tied of swimming upstream to make things better, so this is the load of bricks that broke the camel’s back.

    I do feel like I’m abandoning the people who are in greater danger than we are and can’t afford to leave, but honestly if progressives can’t be bothered to do the absolutely bare minimum and vote until their version of Jesus runs for office things are never going to get better. I’m not going to waste my life while people we need to make change do fuck all but whine and wish things were different when they do nothing meaningful to change it.


  • In the the US laws are passed by the legislative branch, in particular laws around spending are passed by the House of Represtatives. Currently the House or Representatives is controlled by the Republican party, the party of which Donald Trump is the undisputed leader. As such Trump has sufficient control over the Republican party to broadly control the parties legislative priorities, including spending. In fact he has already used this authority to enact his legislative priorities around spending and immigration reform among other things.

    Donald Trump has directed the Republican party to support the genocide in Gaza, so the Republican party provides the funding necessary to for the IDF to conduct the genocide in Gaza.

    Additionally when Donald Trump was president he did several things to empower Israel including moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and required all Palestinian affairs to go through this embassy.

    While the Democratic party has played a part in supporting the genocide, Donald Trump and the Republican party absolutely have the power to stop the US from passing funding bills to arm the IDF and help stop the genocide. Instead he and the Republican party he leads enthusiastically support what Israel has been doing in Gaza and now are trying to do in Lebanon. There’s every reason he’ll take the US’s support for the genocide even further.
