@RonWyden @OregonState Demand a Ceasefire now. Collective punishment is a violation of international law and basic human decency. Gaza is being flattened. Ethnic cleansing is racing ahead with half of all homes in Gaza destroyed. Nearly half of those victims are children.

[Mitch Frey @hookemducks]

@SenJeffMerkley Demand a ceasefire now. Collective punishment is a violation of international law. Silence is complicity.

[Mitch Frey @hookemducks]

@SenJeffMerkley @NatlHeadStart Ceasefire now. Collective punishment is a war crime.

🧵The Strategic Irrelevance of Kiev

Given the myopic focus of the "Ukraine is winning" crowd on the alleged (and fallacious) Russian "defeat" at Kiev, I am reminded of how, during the US Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was ceaselessly frustrated with his early cadre of generals.

A real lesson for all of us comes from Ecuador where Indigenous leader Leonidas Iza led a successful 18-day national strike that resulted in lower gas prices and a end to new oil drilling in the Amazon.

We need more direct action like this in the US.

[Lee Camp [Redacted] @LeeCamp]

They lied us into:
- Iraq
- Afghanistan
- Syria
- Libya
- Vietnam
- Korea
But they're telling the truth about Ukraine 🤔 🤔 🤔

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

When I was in Afghanistan, the US military was paying about $1,000 in “condolence payments” when it killed innocent Afghans. In the US, 9/11 families received $2 million. Now 9/11 families are asking Afghans to pay them billions more for a crime they didn’t commit. Soooo wrong.

If any time you protest they can freeze your bank account and label you a terrorist that functionally bans protesting. It's absolute insanity not to oppose this. It's shocking authoritarianism.

[danaka @wifeoftoast]

just a reminder that the Saudi Royal Air force would be grounded without the support from the US. the US provides the sole contractors that can replace parts and do maintenance on their aircrafts. every airstrike you see in Yemen is US supported.

Is it me or does it seem like the US wants Russia to invade Ukraine more than Russia wants to?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

New moms in Denmark: guaranteed 126 days of paid leave.
New moms in Canada: guaranteed 119 days of paid leave.
New moms in France: guaranteed 112 days of paid leave.

New moms in the United States: guaranteed ZERO days of paid leave.

We must end this international embarrassment.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

I'm declassifying evidence that Nigeria is planning a false flag operation in Switzerland. Are you ready? Here it is:

Nigeria is planning a false flag operation in Switzerland.

The evidence is me asserting it. If you doubt this evidence, you're a propagandist for Nigeria.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

Reminder that this State Department spokesman, Ned Price, is former CIA

The CIA, which brought us hits like WMDs, Russiagate, and Havana Syndrome, is now claiming Russia will do a crazy false-flag op, and you have to believe them, with zero evidence, because the US gov't says so

[Joe Sparks, MedicareForAllExplained Podcast Host @M4AExplained]

@POTUS I don't know if we will ever end cancer. But we could reduce the harmful effects and deaths by creating a system that would allow people to get early detection and treatment w/o having to worry about cost, and the best way to do that is with #MedicareForAll.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

US media has a long history of stenography, but Russiagate took it to a new level. Any allegation tied to Russia (Russian bounties; Havana Syndrome; Trump-Russia collusion; Russian bots; Russia's ally Syria using CWs) became accepted on faith. Biden admin isn't used to pushback:

11 women and children killed is what the Pentagon/Biden administration calls a "successful" operation.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: The manager at a Memphis Starbucks quit in protest after being pressured to falsify complaints against one of her employees.

Now workers at the store are unionizing, and Starbucks is running one of its most aggressive union-busting campaigns in the country

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

US has hundreds of troops in Syria & is subjecting it to world’s harshest sanctions, aka economic warfare. We should be talking about Syria every day. But that’s uncomfortable for leftists who got duped into supporting the 10-year CIA dirty war, or got bullied into staying quiet.

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: Major @Chevron pipeline rupture in the Gulf of Thailand turns tourist beaches and fisheries into disaster area. As in Ecuador, Chevron had no spill prevention plan.

Yet another attack by the oil industry on vulnerable communities. Phase it out.
