We must de-escalate the Middle East & facilitate a lasting ceasefire in Gaza to save lives. Nearly 34,000 Palestinians have been killed, over 100 hostages remain captive, & millions are facing starvation. A regional war would be disastrous and we need a #CeasefireNOW.

Make it hard to protest. Hard to vote. Keep it hard for votes to matter as they should (Electoral College & partisan gerrymandering). Hard to change composition of SCOTUS & lower courts (e.g., denying seats to a POTUS). Etc . . . Make it easy for minority rule for generations.
