Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
US lawmakers have introduced legislation that would allow the government to revoke passports from American citizens who criticize Israel's actions in Gaza. The bill appears to be connected to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's previous actions of revoking visas and green cards from foreign nationals who opposed what the article describes as 'Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza'. The legislation is framed as creating a 'thought police' mechanism to punish political speech and dissent regarding Israel-Palestine relations.
