BREAKING: 16 faith leaders arrested for blocking the doors to @citi HQ in Manhattan.
They are demanding that Citi protect what is sacred, and stop funding fossil fuels that are setting our world on fire.
It's dishonest & nauseating for Kamala Harris to co-opt the working-class "When We Fight, We Win" slogan.
She's backed to the hilt by billionaires, as is Trump.
She's complicit in Biden's broken promise on the $15 wage.
She criminalized poor people for children missing school.
@StatusCoup@CornelWest@DrJillStein 3rd parties need to form a coalition & of all their candidates they need to pick 1 that they all vote for. As 1 body we're larger than either of the 2 parties. Separately no 3rd party wins, collectively the least that happens is a 3rd party gets fed funding & on the debate stage.
@BuckmanGracie@marwilliamson@DrJillStein@DNC@POTUS The dems did not even put Marianne on New Jersey primary ballot- the only #%$[÷^#* reason I was a registered dem was to vote in the primary.
I've already sent in my party change form to be Unaffiliated.

Strom Thurmond only filibustered the 1957 Civil Rights Act for 24 hrs.
Today’s extremists have filibustered restoration of the Voting Rights Act for 11 years.
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.

NEW: The FTC uncovered a series of texts between big oil CEO Scott Sheffield and OPEC officials agreeing to limit oil production to raise prices.
They raked in huge profits, while their scheme cost consumers $200 billion a year in higher prices.
That’s about $3000 per family.
