Outstanding.
Gloria La Riva comes in 3rd place in California's state-wide high school mock election. With over 43,000 ballots cast, La Riva receives 5.62% - a huge number under this two party system. The youth demand socialism! #VoteSocialist

Think a #ThirdParty candidate can't finish in the top 2 in the #CaliforniaPrimary?. For State Insurance Commissioner, PFP's Nathalie Hrizi is just 7.8% out of 2nd place w/50% undecided!. Vote Nathalie Hrizi in the #June5thPrimary: California's best chance for #UniversalHealthcare.

Really nice work by @AbbyMartin of The @EmpireFiles here, a ranking of just how pro-#Israel/anti-#Palestinian/anti-#BDS each #Democratic candidate is. The ending won't surprise anyone, but the top four should shatter a few illusions. .
With polls showing notable drop in support for Israel among Democratic voters, the political pressure on 2020 candidates has increased. But in response to this shift, most have made their positions on Israel & Palestine more ambiguous—so let's dig deeper into their views! Thread:.

The #PeaceAndFreedom Party endorses and supports Kenneth Mejia for #California district 34 rep in #Election2018; here's how you can financially support his non-corporate-backed campaign. @25forCongress #YesWeKen #Progressives #VoteThemOut #VoteThirdParty.
#California #CD34 has an HISTORIC opportunity to flip that district GREEN this week. @25forcongress is just $1.6k away from goal. Sixty-four $25 donors is all we need! . #YesWeKen support Reps who prioritize People, Planet & Peace over profit! 🌻

Ad text: #Prop22 saves 1000s of jobs. The reality: @Uber, @Lyft, etc. frequently argue in court that drivers are not employees, but contractors, thus allowing the companies to pay less than minimum wage w/no benefits. If you believe rideshare drivers have rights, #VoteNoOn22.

@ztsamudzi You may find this interesting. Here's the NY Times review of the 1922 US debut of the play Rossum's Universal Robots by Karel Čapek, in which "robot" originally appears. The reviewer sees R.U.R. as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein plus class-consciousness.

.@HowieHawkins is 100% correct here. The biggest threat to (what remains of) democracy is the #duopoly. #VoteProgressive, #VoteSocialist in #Election2020.
I feel for Bernie Sanders & his NY voters. Cuomo & his minions cancelled NY presidential primary. Same Democrats who just tripled NY ballot access requirements for the Green Party. Party suppression is a form of VOTER SUPPRESSION! Trump & GOP are not the only threat to democracy.

The U.S. & NATO violently facilitated the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 90s that also include 78 days of bombing Serbia but that doesn't count as violence or subverting international law because the rules don't count for the exceptional nation, the nation protected by God.
