One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.

They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.

    I guess the death of the US and …blah blah blah

    That was a winnable race. Harris dchose to lose listening to her zionist boss, her zionist husband and her zionist campaign manager brother in law. I am just a voter with some ethics unlike you lot of war crimes jrs.

      No, you aren’t a voter. You told us you didn’t vote (for president anyway). That’s the point.

      Your moral grandstanding helped make the very issue you are championing completely unrecoverable, and a bunch of us are now under the bus as a result. Palestinians are almost certain to be wiped out now, no matter how badly many of us wanted to end the genocide and hold Israel accountable. You have cut off your nose to spite your face.

        I see, so its the anti genocide/“basic human rights arent negotiable” side thats at fault for the US falling apart?

          I see, so it’s the anti-fascist/“basic human rights apply in our country too” side who are at fault for the genocide of Palestinians? 🙄

            So your “fighting fascists” fight is simply to vote for one of their manufactured war crimes choices both of which demanded you personally be accountable for assisting in murder?

            Fascism lite is still fascism. Killing fewer people is still killing, and its wildly illegal and immoral, full stop.

            Harris’s platform was wildly illegal and immoral. So was trumps. I’m not about to be nagged or threatened into giving my vote to either of those camps.

            If that means the country burns itself down then thats fine, we just get a chance to get to the endgame faster where we build it back up to something better. There was nothing down the road of siding with Harris except more zionist puppeteering, and training you all to be nazi prison guards while you deal with the cognitive dissonance of Harris continuing the genocide after you had a hand in getting her in office.
