This Open Letter demanding that the Zelensky regime halt its frame-up of socialist leader Bogdan Syrotiuk and release him from prison is addressed to the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova. Support the fight for Bogdan's freedom.

This must be the first time in history that governments that claim to be democratic are illegalizing demonstrations against genocide. It shall be a crime to protest the mass murder of children. #Gaza_Genocide

Netanyahu has proclaimed that the IDF is “the most moral army in the world.” He forgot to add, perhaps out of an excess of modesty, that Israel’s slaughter of Gazans is the most humanitarian #genocide in history.

The DC Pro- #Genocide Rally will be recalled by future historians as a devastating self-exposure of the political and moral collapse of the US political establishment. The support for the mass murder of Palestinians in #Gaza has evoked global revulsion.

Having given the green light to Israel's genocidal war, Biden is now covering up the scale of the atrocities being committed against the population of #Gaza . He and his administration are totally identified with mass murder in the eyes of the world. #GenocideJoe

Biden doesn't have confidence in the Gaza death toll: "I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth...I'm sure innocents have been killed & it is the price of waging war..Israel should be incredibly careful to ensure they're going after the folks propagating this war."

The NY Times report establishes conclusively that the Israeli regime was fully appraised of Hamas's plans one year before the October 7th attack. Netanyahu allowed the attacks to proceed as it would provide a pretext for the #GazaGeniocide .

The statement that Russians are not human beings coincides precisely with the views of Hitler, and served as justification for the war of extermination that he unleashed against the Soviet Union in June 1941. 2/

Seventy years ago, on March 5, 1953, Joseph Stalin died at the age of 73. To the extent that the worst defeats of the working class in the 20th century century can be attributed to the crimes and betrayals of an individual, that person is Stalin. 1/

A litmus test for whether a society is moving forward or backward is its treatment of youth. The scrapping of child labor laws and return to 19th century conditions expose the horrific regression of American society. .

The White House #CorrespondentsDinner is in progress, attended by over 2,500 unprincipled careerists who don't have an independent thought in their heads. Not a mask in sight, except for one waiter -- who is probably the only person who understands that the Pandemic is not over.

The "Ivory Towers" are run by unprincipled cowards. "From the River to the Sea" references the actual geographical boundaries of the land stolen from the Palestinians. BTW, the chauvinist lyrics of "America the Beautiful" proclaim US sovereignty "from sea to shining sea."

Francis Fukuyama's "End of History" proclaimed that the dissolution of the Soviet Union marked the irreversible "end point of mankind's ideological evolution." His own descent to fascism refutes his theory.

The scale of Israel's genocidal war, fully supported by the US government, can no longer be concealed. This CNN report, exposing the murderous onslaught by the US-NATO backed Israeli fascists, must be circulated as widely as possible. #GazaHolocaust

Since the debate, the media has concentrated solely on Biden's senility, not his policies. It is an unquestionable given that replacing Biden will not involve any change in the Democratic Party's support for the Gaza genocide and its escalation of the war against Russia. 1/

@DrEricDing China, unlike the US and EU, is attempting to contain the spread of #BA2 . If successful, this will be further proof that the #COVID19 pandemic can be stopped and millions of lives saved. But in face of US opposition, #ZeroCovid is extremely hard to sustain.

A police-state style state of siege has been established at Columbia University in New York City. This is part of a nation-wide and international assault on opponents of the #GenocideinGaza by the Israeli state, which is armed to the teeth by the Biden administration.

I’m at Columbia University now. The entire area is jam-packed with NYPD cops, including the notoriously violent Strategic Response Group (SRG). Cops have buses here so it looks like they’re preparing to mass arrest pro-Palestine students at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

In a lecture in London on November 18, I reviewed the long history of socialist opposition to Zionism and exposed the lie that opposition to Israeli #Genocide is anti-Semitism. I also reviewed the history of Zionist leaders sordid relations with Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
