Senator Lindsey Graham was one of the most loathsome warmongering anti-worker bigots in the halls of the U.S. Congress.
Graham was as vicious a proponent of imperialist war as they come. For decades, he was a hardened supporter of Israel’s ethnic cleansing and its apartheid state. He effectively called for Israel to use nuclear weapons on the Palestinian people, likened Palestinians to Nazi Germany, and urged that Israel “flatten” Gaza and the West Bank. He called for “regime change” in Iran and was an undying advocate of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. He described American funding for the bloody inter-imperialist proxy war in Ukraine as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”
Graham was virulently opposed to social democracy and socialism anywhere, and especially hated the planned economy in Cuba and social democratic reforms in Venezuela. He celebrated a possible return to capitalism in Cuba by saying “their days are numbered.” He called Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia “the drug caliphate.”
As working and poor people lost the ground from under their feet in the Covid pandemic, Graham used his position to speak out repeatedly against the bare minimum stimulus. Graham claimed that the relief package would encourage working people to be “lazy” and unemployed. It apparently gnawed at his insides that the Covid relief bill would pay the equivalent of over $24/hour in South Carolina versus the state minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, as the world's richest people doubled their fortunes and the incomes of billions of working people plummeted and over 160 million more people were forced into poverty.
Graham strenuously opposed abortion rights, introduced numerous anti-abortion bills, and voted for every bill he could to cut social assistance for working-class and poor families.
He was a staunch opponent of trans and queer rights. He voted for the horrendous Defense of Marriage Act (scandalously voted for by a majority of Democrats and signed by Democratic President Bill Clinton), and called himself a “proud defender of traditional marriage.” He voted against repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and co-sponsored the bill against trans women in sports.
So in summary, good fucking riddance to Lindsey Graham. Never forget the misery he helped create for hundreds of millions of people. Shame on Democratic Party politicians, including Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Joe Biden, who are eulogizing Lindsey Graham.
We need to build militant mass movements of the working class and build our own party to defeat the right wing, the billionaires, and both their parties.
During a 60 day period the LAPD got 161 license plate reader hits for stolen cars that were NOT actually stolen.
That means 161 INNOCENT car occupants had guns pulled on them w/helicopter overhead, ordered to lay on ground, handcuffed, searched and detained for 20-45 mins.
Liberals: “Joseph Stalin was a brutal dictator.”
Meanwhile, a 1955 declassified CIA report stated:
“Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by a lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist's power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely captain of a team (...)”
American working people are horrified by the genocide in Gaza which has now been going on for over a thousand days.
Over half a million Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military, according to estimates by The Lancet medical journal. Thousands of medical workers and journalists have been targeted and murdered, including in double tap strikes systematically designed to kill those who arrived to try to rescue others from the rubble.
The backbone of this holocaust of the 21st century is the shocking amount of military support from U.S. imperialism and their two parties, the Democratic and Republican parties. The genocide started under Democratic President Biden in 2024, and 173 House Democrats voted for tens of billions of dollars for the genocide in Gaza that year.
Military funding for Israel is continuing unabated, and has had bipartisan approval in the U.S. Congress EVERY year. The blood of all these people, many of them children, is on the hands of each and every Democratic and Republican politician in the U.S. Congress who has voted to send military aid to Israel.
My opponent, Democrat Adam Smith, has voted repeatedly to fund the genocide over the last thousand days and he has also voted to block United Nations food aid to the Palestinians. This has resulted in hundreds of children dying of starvation. He has called antiwar protesters left-wing fascists and demanded that they be arrested. He has taken $1.3 million from Zionist pro-genocide groups like AIPAC and he is a darling of weapons manufactures like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir. Adam Smith has blood all over his hands and he needs to go!
I am the only candidate in this race fighting for an end to:
👉All military aid to Israel
👉All weapons and tech, including AI, for genocide and imperialist war
👉All financing mechanisms for the Israeli military and violent occupation
👉All exports to, and imports from, Israel of weapons and goods that could serve military purposes
I am the only candidate in the race calling for a permanent arms embargo on Israel.
I have pledged that if elected, I will turn my Congressional inauguration into a mass rally of 10,000 people in Washington D.C, and immediately use my office to launch mass movements to end the genocide and end all military aid to Israel.

Ro and I visited the destroyed village of Zanuta and the site of an EU-funded school that got burned down by settlers.
It was here that we got intercepted and captured by settlers wielding American-made rifles. The IDF showed up to back up the settlers, not the U.S. congressman.
They use “blocked” and “barred from leaving” to avoid saying detained and intimidated.
No mention that the Israeli occupiers wielded weapons.
No mention that the West Bank is occupied Palestinian territory.

Israel has repeatedly targeted doctors, nurses and healthcare workers as part of their ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been held without charge for the past 18 months, repeatedly tortured in that time.
Israel must release him NOW.
They probably don’t even consider him American, let alone an American congressman, because he’s brown. Israel is the epitome of racism. Their entire identity is built on white and Jewish supremacy. So, that totally tracks.
This’s the face of the richest man on Earth who dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth, and the result is a silent massacres.
Elon Musk is the world's richest man who killed the world's poorest children.
Everyone in the world should see his face.
