I don’t need to “see myself” in a president. I need to stop seeing GoFundMe campaigns for insulin.

All you need to read, tbh.

Arab blood vs. Arab oil / A primer on U.S. policy:

- 4 yrs of indiscriminate bombardment of Yemen
- 100,000 dead Yemenis
- 20M malnourished Yemenis
- 2.3M cholera cases
= carte blance for culprits.

- Retaliatory Yemeni strike on oil storage tanks
= unacceptable "act of war"

Everyone's going to say "But he closed the gap in a R+12 district." Great, but we have to look at WHY that place is R+12. There's a lot of reasons (like straight up cheating, aka gerrymandering) but also? Voters in that district haven't heard an alternative argument. 7/

Using a 9/11 ceremony as a way to override democracy is a nice encapsulation of the 21st century GOP.

[Gravel Institute @GravelInstitute]

They lie.

They lie to pour money to military contractors. They lie to enforce American hegemony. They lie to send children to the slaughter. They lie for their relection campaign. They lie, they lie, they lie.

The fact is there would be no terrorists attacking the West and no refugees fleeing from Middle East war zones if it wasn’t for US foreign policy. US Empire is incubating this with wars for profit and the chaos it creates to sell itself as protector of the world (for a price).

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I was right about Vietnam.

I was right about Iraq.

I will do everything in my power to prevent a war with Iran.

I apologize to no one.
