This is horrendous. Greta Thunberg was beaten, dragged by the hair, and forced to kiss the Israeli flag for trying to get aid to the poor people that Isreal is starving and bombing.

@TuckerCarlson I'm a lefty and don't see eye to eye with you on some things, but that's ok. It's perfectly fine for people to have different points of view. I'm greatly grateful that you're speaking truth to power about Isreal. Thank you, sir. You are a treasure.

RFK Jr. At the Trump rally, you indicated you're to the left of Kamala Harris on some things. However, I'm aware that you're still on board with fully enabling Israel with the genocide of Palistinian people.  That's a moral red line I won't cross.  I love Jill Stein.

The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.

You Saved Julian Assange:

Julian Assange was not released because the courts defended the rule of law and exonerated a man who had not committed a crime. He was not released because the Biden White House and the intelligence community have a conscience. He was not released because the news organizations that published his revelations and then threw him under the bus, carrying out a vicious smear campaign, pressured the U.S. government.

He was released — granted a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department, according to court documents — in spite of these institutions. He was released because day after day, week after week, year after year, hundreds of thousands of people around the globe mobilized to decry the imprisonment of the most important journalist of our generation. Without this mobilization, Julian would not be free…

This sustained pressure — during a London hearing in 2020, to my delight, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser of the Old Bailey court overseeing Julian’s case, complained about the noise protestors were making in the street outside — shines a continuous light on injustice and exposes the amorality of the ruling class...

These people are unsung and often unknown.  But they are heroes. They move mountains...They shamed the politicians in Australia to stand up for Julian, an Australian citizen, and finally Britain and the U.S. to give up. I do not say to do the right thing. This was a surrender. We should be proud of it.

I met Julian when I accompanied his attorney, Michael Ratner, to meetings in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Michael, one of the great civil rights attorneys of our era, stressed that popular protest was a vital component in every case he brought against the state. Without it, the state could carry out its persecution of dissidents, disregard for the law and crimes in darkness….

The decimation of civil liberties has shackled us, as Julian warned, to an interconnected security and surveillance apparatus that stretches across the globe...

The goal of wholesale surveillance, as Hannah Arendt writes in “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” is not, in the end, to discover crimes, “but to be on hand when the government decides to arrest a certain category of the population.”…This constant surveillance and personal data waits like a deadly virus inside government vaults to be turned against us. It does not matter how trivial or innocent that information is. In totalitarian states, justice, like truth, is irrelevant.

The object of all totalitarian systems is to inculcate a climate of fear to paralyze a captive population. Citizens seek security in the structures that oppress them. Imprisonment, torture and murder are saved for unmanageable renegades such as Julian. The totalitarian state achieves this control, Arendt wrote, by crushing human spontaneity, and by extension human freedom. The population is immobilized  by trauma. The courts, along with legislative bodies, legalize state crimes. We saw all this in the persecution of Julian. It is an ominous harbinger of the future.

The corporate state must be destroyed if we are to restore our open society and save our planet. Its security apparatus must be dismantled. The mandarins who manage corporate totalitarianism, including the leaders of the two major political parties, fatuous academics, pundits and a bankrupt media, must be driven from the temples of power.

Mass street protests and prolonged civil disobedience are our only hope. A failure to rise up — which is what the corporate state is counting on — will see us enslaved and the earth’s ecosystem become inhospitable to human habitation. Let us take a lesson from the courageous men and women who took to the streets for 14 years to save Julian. They showed us how it is done.

Why is it considered indoctrination if a person dressed in drag reads stories to children, but it isn't when a cis person dressed in a way they identify as is, or for that matter anyone dressed as the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus etc? Happy Pride Month. ;)

It finally happened. The Hill has fired me.

There should be no doubt that @RisingTheHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech -- particularly when it's critical of the state of Israel.

This is why they fired @kthalps, & it was only a matter of time before they fired me.

Despite collecting 10 times more signatures than all other grassroots contenders, we appear to have fallen just shy of New York's oppressive ballot access requirements. We will continue the fight for democracy and voter choice in court.

The heroic volunteer mobilization that collected an unprecedented 42,000 signatures in 6 weeks is a victory for the resistance to empire, oligarchy and voter suppression. And that resistance is growing stronger by the day. We’re not done with this fight against New York’s anti-democratic voter suppression designed by the Democratic Party. We will pursue all legal options available to fight for millions of voters who are hungry for a real choice and real democracy.

Among grassroots campaigns, we emerged as the undisputed front-runner thanks to a heroic volunteer effort, submitting more than 42,000 signatures collected in just 6 weeks. The Libertarian Party, which has achieved ballot access in every state in the past 2 presidential elections, was only able to submit less than 4,000 signatures. Dr. Cornel West had even fewer, and other people-powered grassroots candidates like Claudia De La Cruz were discouraged from even attempting this daunting task. The only independent candidate who appears to have met the requirement has a billionaire running mate and billionaire funders, and spent over a million dollars to get on New York’s ballot.

As part of this oppressive system of ballot access hurdles designed by entrenched incumbents, they set up unimportant but strictly-enforced technical requirements to give themselves more weapons to throw their opponents off the ballot. It was crystal clear on our petition what people were signing for: Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. The names of electors for the Electoral College are immaterial to the petition, and would be an outrageous justification for throwing tens of thousands of signatures in the trash, after hundreds of volunteers pounded the streets for weeks to give another choice to the over 60% of US voters who say we need more choices. Voters’ hunger for more choices includes grassroots campaigns too, not just billionaire-funded candidates who can spend millions of dollars getting on ballots.

Right now, New York is poised to have fewer choices on its ballot than any other state. This suppression of voter choice is part of the Democratic Party’s broader assault on democracy. After taking control of New York state government, Democrats tripled ballot access signature requirements while keeping the same short 6-week petitioning period. The DNC has broadcasted that they are paying lawyers and operatives to try to keep their competitors off the ballot, and recently posted a job to infiltrate opponents’ campaigns. The Democrats’ attacks on democracy are too numerous to list, but maybe the most notorious is how they impersonated Green Party officials to call voters in North Carolina to pressure them into removing their names from the Green Party’s ballot access petitions. This is authoritarian, anti-democratic voter suppression and the height of hypocrisy from the Democratic Party, which claims to fight for voter’s rights, but in reality only fights to tighten the duopoly’s stranglehold on power.

In this election where millions of voters are desperate for a real choice, our campaign has emerged as an unstoppable force for ending genocide and rescuing democracy from the Democrats and Republicans. Their assaults on democracy cannot stop us and only inspire us to fight twice as hard. We look forward to overturning their authoritarian tactics in court and continuing to grow this unstoppable movement to bring democracy to the United States and win the peaceful, just future we all deserve.

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

Wow. @TheDemocrats posted - then deleted - a job for a “Third Party Project Manager” to infiltrate their competition and find ways to take us off the ballot. Is this how they’re “saving democracy”?

Julian Assange's last ditch appeal to stop his extradition to the U. S. is being heard this week.   According to his wife Stella, it's a matter of life and death.  It is also a bad omen for the future of free press.

6 months after Hawaii suffered the deadliest US fire in over 100 years, thousands of survivors still need housing and suffer serious health problems.

That's why I'm calling for a Green New Deal for Lahaina with federal aid for housing, healthcare, and sustainable reconstruction.
