Keep Costco hotdogs at $1.50!!! Enough is enough!!!
Solidarity, comrade! ✊🌭
One day, people will understand that the pro Palestinian movement does not care about Palestinians, it’s all about the destabilizing of governments
God bless you i wish more Americans would look into things, internet has tons of data and facts and plans that are made for implementation of changes we didnt, couldn't have voted for.
What is this even a protest of? AIDS funding? Free palestine? Anti ICE? This just feels like Soros-funded disruption at this point.
@Nyc99966 come on, lol. Paranoia?
AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT WEALTH NOT HEALTH
@Dmwnumber1 UNFORTUNATELY!!! Most democratic countries have universal healthcare!!! England, France, Italy, Ireland, Canada, Greece, Germany, the list is endless. In the US healthcare is a business.
