Just because we don’t live in a democracy, doesn’t mean you can’t run for office. Sam Husseini, running as a Green against AIPAC Glenn Ivey is brilliant, delivers an important history lesson here on the 1963 CIA coup that gave us the dark period we’re living through. He’s a light

Every Sunday we're at 12th and Hawthorne from noon to 2 pm here in Portland, Oregon. I'll be away in Alabama and Australia for the next month or so, but someone will be at the vigil either way. Join us!

Anthrax Attacks on Congress

Vote for Sam Husseini for Congress and we'll do everything possible to actually investigate the anthrax attacks in 2001, which played a tremendous role in the rise of the security state including creating ICE.

466 Palestinians, including 157 children, have died from malnutrition and starvation in Gaza.

Forced starvation is an act of genocide.

💩PETE BUTTIGIEG: “Iran is our enemy. Israel is not — they're an ally.”

FUCK MAYOR PETE. TOTAL SLIME BAG. BROWN NOSER TO THE ELITES.

Here's a radical idea, Pete: HOW ABOUT PUTTING AMERICA FIRST AND STOPPING THE ENDLESS FOREIGN WARS?

How many more American sons and daughters must be sent into harm's way? How many more billions must be spent overseas while Americans struggle to afford healthcare, housing, groceries, and basic necessities?

OUR FOREIGN POLICY SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE — NOT BLIND ALLEGIANCE TO ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT.

Pete, patriotism isn't measured by how enthusiastically you defend an ally. It's measured by your willingness to defend the Constitution, demand accountability, and put the lives and interests of the American people first.

WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER GENERATION OF POLITICIANS WHO CAN JUSTIFY WAR. WE NEED LEADERS WITH THE COURAGE TO PREVENT IT. 🇺🇸

A video that Netanyahu does not want the world to see

Let the world know by sharing this

Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist rabbis and Jews gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.

For most of November I'm in Australia. We have plenty of free dates for impromptu house concerts, protests, or other events, so folks in Australia should feel free to hit me up about such ideas anytime. And please spread the word about these gigs!

PDX: here's where I'll be tomorrow, with guitar. Hope to see you there.

Dozens of Jewish settlers attacked Palestinian farmers harvesting olives, and then troops "fired tear gas in order to end the confrontation." Who did they fire the tear gas at, BBC? They don't say. I'll tell you: they fired it at the farmers -- not the settlers sowing terror.

Gaza Is a Graveyard of Children. The World Will Never Forget.

Watching footage of Gaza, I am struggling to find words that adequately describe what I see.

It's apocalyptic.

Entire neighborhoods obliterated. Families buried beneath concrete. Hospitals destroyed. Children pulled from the rubble, their tiny bodies broken, absolutely heartbreaking.

Thousands upon thousands of children killed.

Think about that. These were somebody's sons and daughters. Children who should have been playing, laughing, going to school, growing up, falling in love, and living their lives.

Instead, they are dead. And for what?

Israel's government seems to believe that somehow the world will eventually move on. That enough public relations campaigns, political influence, and manufactured outrage will make everyone forget what happened in Gaza.

They are gravely mistaken.

You cannot reduce an entire society to rubble, inflict unimaginable suffering on its children, and expect to emerge with your moral standing intact.

Israel faces a reckoning that no amount of money, propaganda, or political protection can erase.

And every American politician who enabled this destruction, excused it, or remained silent while children were being slaughtered deserves to have their record examined and their careers ended.

You can bury the bodies. You can clear the rubble. But you will never bury the truth of what happened to Gaza's children.
