Yeah, this. I had to sign a contract with the state (prior to all the Israel and Palestine stuff) and I was like the fuck is there a clause saying I can’t boycott anything to do with Israel?? Like in completely unrelated contracts you have to promise not to boycott or divest from Israel and I had no idea how or why that was even a thing because it didn’t cover any other country or entity. Israel has absolutely insanely good lobbying (or intelligence, or both).

“Us is not a democracy” is in response to republican lawmakers and pundits “reminding” everyone that the us isn’t and has never been a democracy. Just totally normal things for politicians to be doing.
