WHY I AM RESIGNING FROM THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT
By Annelle Sheline, PhD.
SINCE HAMAS’ ATTACK on October 7, Israel has used American bombs in its war in Gaza, which has killed more than 32,000 people — 13,000 of them children — with countless others buried under the rubble,
@JoshuaPHilll
Wow, Anderson just let that go right by. No pushback on the assertion that the whole population, including infants, are combatants, because they voted wrong 17 years ago.
“Uncommitted” can’t be elected president. But Jill Stein could be, because we have ballot access in enough states to get 270 electoral votes.
Dream big.
Aim high.
Fight for what you believe in.
Win or lose this race, at least you can be a force for good, and only good can come
The upcoming election is too important to sit out or write in "uncommitted." That’s why I’m voting for Dr. Jill Stein, and I urge you to do the same. 🟢

A mere 8 years after Bernie Sanders almost won the Dem presidential nomination, most of the themes of his campaign — Medicare for All, anti-corruption, fighting corporate power & a laser focus on economic issues — have been largely erased from Dems’ national political discourse.

I’m tortured with disappointment in the people of this country, for so casually and nonchalantly supporting a genocide. Your children aren’t being bombed, while you bomb the children of others. Your children have food to eat, while you support the starvation to death of others’

Today’s demonstration in Washington DC showed the passion of hundreds of thousands of people who want to stop this genocide.
If you want to stop genocide, apartheid, and occupation you have to vote against them, or nothing will change.

Ukraine stopped being a democracy in 2014, when mob rule deposed the elected president. Imagine if January 6 had succeeded here, would you still call America a democracy?
Imagine if a competent intelligent candidate had been allowed to participate in the Presidential debate - I think we'd all be feeling a lot less shame this morning.
@CollinRugg
Absolutely not. A progressive income tax is the only fair tax, because it is the only tax structure that counteracts the natural tendency of the rich to get richer (by entrenched advantage) and the poor to get poorer (by entrenched disadvantage).
Criticizing US policy is not “anti-American.” Criticizing Israeli policy is not “anti Semitic.” In both cases, the actions of the government must be judged on their own merit. States are not people. Don’t stand with a state, stand with

It’s nothing to do with Judaism. So many Jewish Americans celebrated Passover from within the encampments.

You treat the young child in Gaza like they are your enemy, and you bomb them. You think you must do this. So you do it. Then, you say proudly, “i did this, because it was what had to be done.” But you were wrong, you had another option. You just rejected it. You made a choice.

A floor vote shows who stands with the people and who are the enemies of the people; It’s value is clear. Most people do not read cosponsor lists, they watch the news. The people want single payer and the corrupt establishment does not. You are either on one side, or the other.
Maybe Hamas is a symptom of a deeper problem of basic civil rights being denied to 4 million people for over 75 years, and maybe the only path to peace that will ever work is restoring those rights.
Look at this graph. The wealth gap must be addressed. If the progressive answers to this problem are not adopted, then popular support for trumpian fascism will only continue to increase.
If you really want to beat Trump, it's looking increasingly unlikely that Joe Biden is the candidate capable of doing that.
I don't see that changing.
But.. we could still beat Trump--- with a different candidate.

Is there a Green Party strategy focused on building power within state legislatures (Tlaib, Omar, and Summer Lee's backgrounds), through local organizing, with union power, etc? Or is this gambit just as it appears: a recycled act with the same person at the top of the ticket?
The FACT is that a vote for Biden is a vote for Trumpism.

Israel started the war in 1948 by declaring itself a state, massacring thousands, destroying hundreds of villages, and chasing 700,000 people, read that again, 700,000 people off of the land they had lived on for generations.

And not to mention Medicare for All single payer health insurance is LESS expensive than the current system, not more. We still should cut the pentagon though. HR1003 cuts it by $350B, enough to end hunger and homelessness and still have $300B left for other, you know, NEEDS.

In many cases, we make these investments and then send these soldiers off to die in our imperial wars of conquest - Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan - it's a tragic waste of life, not just money.

Yep. Except that nationalized healthcare for all will cost less than our current system. So we can use the money from that (and from cutting defense) to fund Universal childcare&preschool, housing, paid family leave, and a massive Green New Deal with federal job guarantee.
