@libbyliberalnyc @cmkshama @DrJillStein Thank God someone took this picture which clearly shows it's not @DrJillStein assaulting anyone. The case should be dismissed based on this photo.

@cmkshama @DrJillStein Solidarity with Stein ✊️

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

Solidarity with @DrJillStein and the antiwar movement!

Drop the false charges against Jill Stein!

On April 27, 2024, students at Washington University in St. Louis, and Green Party Presidential candidate and antiwar activist Jill Stein, peacefully protested against the horrific genocide in Gaza.

Video of the protest shows the police assaulting the peaceful protesters, including an officer using a bicycle as a battering ram against Jill Stein and the students.

Stein is now being falsely charged with assaulting a police officer and trespassing during the protest.

This is blatant political retaliation, which in reality is directed against the antiwar movement as a whole, with the aim of making people afraid to protest.

I demand that St. Louis County drop these charges on Jill Stein immediately.

Stein in particular is being specifically targeted because she has had the courage to challenge both genocidal billionaire-backed protest parties in her campaigns for president. The Democratic Party in particular, which supported and funded the Israeli state's genocide and controls St. Louis County, wants to send a chilling message to anyone who would dare to challenge them like Stein has.

If Jill Stein were to be convicted, she could face up to 18 months in prison.

Students, working people, union members, and the antiwar movement must stand with Jill Stein.

Demand that the false charges on Jill Stein be dropped immediately!

@PaulSorrentino3 I had to write in Kshama Sawant on my ballot because the crooked state of WA uses jungle primaries to rid the general election of 3rd parties.

“Our daughter has no arms.”

Israel’s genocide consumes every aspect of life in Gaza – impacting babies before they are even born.

Thank you @cmkshama!!! 🙏🙏

[Sam Husseini 4 Congress MD-04 - The Real Deal @samhusseini]

Thank you Kshama. Your push for workers rights is inspiring.

The tax burden must be much more on the wealthy and huge corporations.

We need to take on the Epstein class like never before, the corporate model has juiced up the power of the rich and must be seriously challenged.

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

I am proud to endorse @samhusseini's campaign for the U.S. Congress. Sam is running independent of the two genocidal parties of the billionaire class as a Green Party candidate.

Sam has shown a willingness to go to battle against the Democratic Party, and has already publicly and courageously confronted Democratic genocide purveyors like Senator Chuck Schumer and Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This is urgently needed if we are going to turn the tables on the political establishment and fight for a different kind of society.

I strongly support Sam’s calls for an end to all aid to the apartheid Israeli state, for universal public healthcare, and to dramatically increase taxes on the rich.

Irish healthcare workers held a silent march through Dublin today in solidarity with their colleagues in Palestine.

The group Irish Healthcare Workers for Palestine walked slowly and silently along Wicklow Street (and nearby streets including Grafton and Drury), marking three years of the genocide in Gaza and remembering healthcare workers who have been killed, detained or tortured. Participants carried white shoes as a memorial.

They continue a series of quiet solidarity actions by Irish medical staff calling attention to the targeting of healthcare in Gaza.

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

“ No one calls me Mum anymore.”

🚨HEARTBREAKING: An Israeli bombardment in Gaza during Israel’s genocidal war killed a Palestinian woman’s husband and all her children, leaving her as the sole surviving member of her immediate family.

She speaks about the loss of her entire family and the grief she continues to endure.

Check out what @cmkshama said almost a year ago. The signs for Mamdani’s sellout were there. We need to learn our lessons from the last decade of the failures of elected progressive DSA candidates like AOC and others and get off this merry go round of trying to reform the Democratic Party. We need independent and fighting working class leaders that will use elected office to build movements and launch struggles against the billionaires and their representatives not make peace and back room deals with them.

Kshama is the only example in my lifetime who committed to that idea and stuck to it. As she said during her inauguration to the Seattle city council as an independent revolutionary socialist in 2014

“Let me make one thing absolutely clear: There will be no backroom deals with corporations or their political servants. There will be no rotten sell-out of the people I represent.” https://t.co/K62dhnTpAG

If you call it a genocide and then campaign alongside the politicians who armed, funded and enabled it, there are only three possibilities:

A) You don’t actually believe it’s a genocide.

B) You do believe it’s a genocide, but complicity in genocide isn’t a dealbreaker for you.

C) You know exactly what it is, but your public condemnation is cynical: you invoke “genocide” because it’s what your constituency wants to hear and because doing so advances your political career, while abandoning the consequences of that position when they become politically inconvenient.

You cannot treat genocide as the ultimate crime when speaking to Palestinians, then treat its enablers as respectable political partners when you need their endorsements, votes or access.

At that point, you’re making genocide an issue we can simply move past.
