Abby Martin: ‘I REFUSE to live in a world where the Gaza genocide is the price we have to pay for our PRIVILEGE & STATUS in the West.’ ‘To see the Democratic Party establishment subsidise a genocide of my brothers and sisters and colleagues, 200 journalists being hunted, hunted alongside their families, doctors, the entire medical infrastructure destroyed, decimated with my tax dollars in my name, and not being able to do anything about it… And to be told, “Go to brunch, go to brunch. The liberals are in power.” It has been absolutely catastrophic. And then to ignore the fact, to shout down the leftists, to not even give a Palestinian a voice at the DNC. That’s how much they hated leftists and Palestinians. That’s how much they thought that they could just cast them off. Biden bypassed Congress over 100 times to directly sell weapons to Israel, and then they turn around and think, “Oh, the socialists cost us the election.” No, it’s the genocide, stupid. It’s the economy, stupid. All these things are connected, and Americans can see it very clearly. With six dollars a gallon gas at the pump, with groceries 30% higher, all of this is connected, with ICE doing field executions in the street and seeing kids shredded every single day on our devices. No, we deserve better than this. That is what the status quo has been. That is what was deemed normal in society before Trump’s second term, so you know, I think Gaza really changed the world. It certainly changed me, and I knew this stuff before, but it made me realise the stakes are too high. There’s no going back. I refuse to live in a world where this is normal, where this is considered the price that we have to pay for our for our privilege and status in the West. It’s sick and torturous, and to know my colleagues are suffering still every day, waiting for their homes to be rebuilt, just waiting for the hope, the silver lining, that Democrats will do something to give them the right to return, to rebuild their homes, and we both know that’s not going to happen, and it sickens me.’ —@AbbyMartin on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post 👇
