Kennedys, Clintons, Obama and now Sanders. The American liberal show is back on the road. Fine if you're a homegrown fan, but not fine for the rest of us to whom America's liberalism means more war, more bullying. Will this change under Pres. Bernie? Beware holding your breath.
Watch this revelation by Mark Davis, the award-winning journalist and lawyer, a crucial witness to the Guardian's and NY Times' betrayal of Julian #Assange who faces extradition for what they did, too. Note their silence as #Assange fights for his life.

Visiting Julian #Assange in prison I glimpsed his barbaric treatment. Isolated, denied proper exercise, access to the library, a laptop, he cannot prepare his defence. He is even denied calls to his US lawyers. His UK lawyer wrote to the governor on 4 June. Silence. How lawless.
BREAKING: Adani has all approvals it needs. But the insurance industry could stop Adani. Will you SIGN the petition to @AIGinsurance calling for it to rule out Adani? https://t.co/mmZA5hwOX2

These 'capitalism vs socialism' polls are so stupid. HELLO?? The Cold War is over. Just ask people what they think about universal health care, higher taxes on the rich, massive investment in renewables etc.
Turns out: almost everyone is in favor of those common sense policies.
Fake news and unregulated ads are undermining our elections in Australia. But @Facebook and @Google are refusing to roll out adequate transparency measures. https://t.co/fZpqGIkIIb
So the Fed released a new report:
- Top 1 % have gotten $21 trillion richer since 1989.
- The bottom 50% have gotten $900 billion poorer.
The real extremists are those who say American capitalism is working just fine.
