BREAKING: State probe found Aurora police officers treated Black people and other people of color differently than white people. Officers also routinely used excessive force against people unnecessarily. https://t.co/9CuLhd89lW
100 years after Battle of Blair Mountain. 151 years after the 15th Amendment. @WestVirginiaPPC is calling everyone from the hood to the hollers for a Moral Motorcade on Manchin. I’m answering their call, will you? Join the WV Motorcade or online with me

An intense argument broke out last nite @ the Capitol between an activist & members of the Squad on their refusal to directly confront Pelosi.
I asked Rep @CoriBush about the exchange & why the Squad didn’t use its leverage to force a #M4A vote.
Her staff shut me down ASAP.
Daniel Hale is going to jail for exposing atrocities committed by the U.S. drone program & Assange is still in jail for implicating the U.S. in war crimes so stop calling the U.S. a democracy. Democracies don’t lock people up for exposing war crimes; only brutal empires do that.
The prosecution against Assange states flat out that there's nothing guaranteed in the safeguards they pretend to offer against abusive treatment. Beware of torturers bearing gifts.
The Democrats are governing just as the liberals did in the Weimar Republic before Nazi take over: a weak "resistance" that often even enables fascism. If we want to defend democracy, we need to oppose both Republicans and Democrats & form a new politics. https://t.co/DNWKt6R5R8
ICYMI - Kudos to these courageous defenders of free speech. Silencing BDS criticism of war crimes & human rights abuse is a flagrant assault on our civil liberties.
If you’re not working to stop Assange's extradition, i strongly suggest you:
1.Listen to "Another Brick in the Wall" turned up loud.
2.Shake off mind control.
3.Fight for press freedom like your life depends on it.

Hmm. When the GOP passed legislation to provide a $1 trillion tax break to corporations & the 1% without a single Democratic vote, I didn't hear my Republican colleagues say "Wait. It has to be bipartisan." Please don't tell me we can't use the same tools to help working people.
