Our dear friend @BethLynch2020 has been off of here for awhile just living her life and taking care of her family. She has helped so many of us when we needed it and now she needs our help.

Please read her story, share it and donate if you can ♡ https://t.co/8d5Cy3gL6u

Israeli troops have besieged the last three functional hospitals in north Gaza, a new chapter in a conflict that has targeted hospitals with an intensity and overtness rarely seen in modern warfare. The AP spent months collecting their stories. https://t.co/ftPrkO02J1

Lol. What a goof

JFK & his admin called many "unpleasant facts" Anti-Americanism.
That was enough to justify a 1963 coup in Guatemala. JFK & co. then supported a regime "that ultimately murdered 200,000 of its own citizens." (Max Paul Friedman)

@IramiOF @KarenAttiah I don't think so. This reminded me more of Reagan temper tantrum in 1964 as told in The Loneliness of The Black Republican: "Even Jackie Robinson publicly berated the actor-turned-politician"

NEW: THE STAGGERING RISE OF AMERICA'S GLOBAL ECONOMIC WARFARE

1st in a series

@federicacocco & I found:

1. ~1/3 of all nations on Earth now face some form of US sanctions. Huge increase from when mostly applied to Cuba & a handful of regimes

2. +*60%* of *all poor countries* are under US sanctions of some kind. Has become almost a reflex of US foreign policy

3. Sanctions have spawned multi-billion-dollar lobbying & influence industry, enriching former US officials who are hired by foreign countries & oligarchs

4. Sanctions have had devastating effects on innocent civilians. In Cuba, they've made critical medical supplies impossible to import. In Venezuela, they contributed to a financial collapse 3X greater than the US Great Depression. Syria faces its greatest humanitarian crisis this year after a decade civil war & sanctions.

5. Treasury staffers drafted a ~40 page plan aimed at reforming the sanctions process that was dramatically whittled down amid disagreements w/ State

6. OFAC is widely described as overwhelmed by tens of thousands of requests. WH officials have brainstormed sanctions scenarios w/ outside nonprofits

7. Biden has unleashed unprecedented volley of +6K sanctions in 2 years. Higher than even previously unprecedented rate of Trump.

“We don’t think about the collateral damage of sanctions the same way we think about the collateral damage of war ... But we should.”

More to come.

Biden should just STFU about what he has done for Palestinians, it’s really sick.

Absolute loser who does not care about his party, his country, or even his own legacy

[Dean Baker @DeanBaker13]

well, this is a chance for all the party poobahs to give a shit about the party. They all watched the debate -- we need a new candidate.
