Free Palestine

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

Our campaign was by far the strongest ever by an openly Marxist candidate for the U.S. Congress.

We've so far won a historic 16.9 percent of the vote in a five-way race, in Washington’s sprawling Ninth Congressional District, which spans suburban areas with a significant proportion of Republican voters in addition to large parts of the major urban areas of Seattle and Bellevue.

We ran on electrifying demands like free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich, ending all military aid to Israel and a permanent arms embargo on Israel, and national rent control. All of these are extremely popular among the working class in this district and nationally.

We achieved this result despite the many obstacles we faced.

Both the Democratic and Republican parties maneuvered by running candidates specifically to block our campaign from getting into the November election, which would have resulted in a head-to-head battle between our campaign and genocidal Democrat Adam Smith.

We faced a corporate media blackout, and hostility and outright attacks from DSA leaders and many "progressive" podcasters.

Many labor leaders shamelessly endorsed Adam Smith, while others remained silent, effectively supporting Smith.

All of these obstacles were predictable. Our decade on the Seattle City Council showed what a threat we are to the political establishment and those who give them cover. We used our decade on the Seattle City Council to relentlessly build working-class movements, winning four elections and unparalleled victories such as the nation's highest minimum wage, which also led to substantive raises for tens of millions of workers across the United States, defeating Jeff Bezos to win the Amazon Tax, and repeatedly beating corporate landlords to win unprecedented renters' rights.

Despite not making it into the November election, we've provided a powerful example of what's possible by running an openly Marxist independent campaign based on class struggle rather than making peace with the political establishment or its legions of gatekeepers.

The DSA strategy of appeasing and, worse, rehabilitating the discredited Democratic leadership and their rotten party is a dead end. In this age of imperialist war, genocide, and climate catastrophe, we simply have no time to fuck around.

We urgently need militant movements of the working class and a new mass party that can defeat the billionaires and both their parties. And we need revolutionary socialist campaigns like mine that don't try to join the establishment and help administer the capitalist system, but instead fight to overthrow it.

I saw Van Jones sporting a keffiyeh at a memorial for Juliano Mer-Khamis in NYC in 2011

14 years later, he's raking in millions from Israel and its US cutouts and joking about dead Palestinian babies with Bill Maher

@VanJones68 is the single biggest sellout I've met in media

This really breaks my heart. Matt is officially into his Vegas lounge act years. I don’t get it. Do they have pictures of him next to a dead hooker in St. Petersberg? What the actual fuck . . .

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.

Entire Palestinan bloodlines have been annihilated. Children disabled and orphaned, dozens of doctors and journalists and their families murdered for helping the wounded and telling the truth of this genocide, and he's talking about safe spaces for the privileged in Hollywood. 😒

For the past two months, Israel has completely cut off the supply of humanitarian aid and items indispensable to the survival of civilians in a clear effort to collectively punish over two million civilians and to make Gaza unlivable.

This is genocide in action.

Independent of all else, it's truly remarkable how frequently American elected officials wake up to speak about Israel, vow to serve Israel, issue new policies to protect Israel and punish its critics, pass laws and resolutions about Israel, issue Executive Orders about Israel.

I've recorded the whole Louis Theroux documentary just in case the BBC gets lobbied into deleting it.

at his rally today in LA Bernie Sanders once again repeated the same old genocidal Zionist hasbara "Israel has the right to defend itself" line. He is doing this 18 months into a genocide that he refuses to recognize. He is an irredeemable moral monster. An utterly depraved freak

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

in 2023, right as the genocide was reaching its most murderous levels, Bernie Sanders voted for a Senate Resolution condemning anti-genocide student protesters and organizations as "antisemitic, repugnant, and morally contemptible". He is directly responsible for the deportations

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

Israel doesn’t allow foreign journalists to enter Gaza since October 7. Douglas Murray was shepherded into Gaza by the Israeli military for a propaganda stunt in the chair where Sinwar was killed. That’s his claim to “expertise.” A complete and utter fraud.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Mahmoud Khalil never expressed "hatred" toward the US. To the contrary, he came to the US, is married to an American with an American baby on the way, on a path to citizenship.

He criticized Israel. But because you're drowning in AIPAC money, you think Israel is part of the US.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

After a deportation judge ordered the US Govt to turn over all evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, the State Dept explicitly admitted that his actions in the US are legal, but nonetheless want to deport him because his views on Israel reflect anti-Semitism and are thus a danger:
