Sure. @krystalball & @ryangrim #BreakingPoints spent all of 6.5 min talking about @cmkshama challenge against @RepAdamSmith. The remaining 41 min were spent asking her why she refuses to integrate into the burning house @dnc along w/@DemSocialists candidates. Most important question: Will they just become rotating good guys? https://t.co/qRsNQBq0Tw @BarackObama @samhusseini

[Jason Call 🇵🇸 🇨🇩🇸🇩 @CallForCongress]

This is *exactly* the critique @cmkshama has of DSA. They are not harnessing the power of elected office to build a mass mobilization of the working class

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

Krystal Ball:

You just had genocidal arch-Zionist Adam Smith on your show.

I appreciate that Smith was clearly squirming at several points in the interview over his despicable record and close ties to AIPAC. However, the question still needs to be asked: How does it serve the cause of Palestinian liberation for you to platform Adam Smith, and to not even mention that there is an antiwar socialist challenger to him? And that, too, someone running the strongest challenge to Smith in his 29-year career and who has won FOUR Seattle City Council elections as an independent socialist?

We are just two weeks away from the August 4th primary election, and ballots have been mailed out already.

You still have a chance to feature our independent socialist anti-genocide campaign on your program. My campaign is fighting to end all military aid to Israel and for a permanent arms embargo on Israel. I have a long track record of opposing the Israeli state and the brutal occupations of Palestinian lands, as well as winning historic victories for working people like the nation’s highest minimum wage.

Many of your viewers who support our campaign have asked for you to have me on your show. A lot of commenters on this episode are also asking.

While Smith comes off horribly in this interview, it is a fundamental disservice to the cause of defeating AIPAC and U.S. imperialism to not let people who are disgusted by Smith know that they have an actual alternative in this election, and a chance to drive this blood-drenched politician out of office.

You call this recent episode with Smith a “heated” debate. But while you did ask him some difficult questions, this poses no actual threat to him so long as you continue to ignore his socialist opponent, who has raised more than three times as much money (over $690,000) as any of his previous progressive challengers. Adam Smith has taken tens of thousands of dollars just in the recent weeks from Zionist lobby groups and from war profiteers. He just COSPONSORED the June bill for a trillion dollars for war and to fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries. There's nothing ambiguous here, and you owe it to working people and the antiwar movement to give our socialist campaign a hearing.

In the last several months, Adam Smith has received $160K from pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC. He has also received $40K from executives of war profiteering corporations such as Kratos, Lockheed, and Andreessen Horowitz.

Kshama Sawant is an independent candidate who has delivered material wins for the working class in Washington & she’s who we should be backing

There’s a self-identified socialist former Seattle city council member running against the Zionist armed services committee head Adam Smith in a jungle (top two) primary, but for some reason none of the big left media outlets have interviewed @cmkshama.

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

The genocide in Gaza started under Democratic President Biden. The vast majority of House Democrats, including my main opponent 29-year incumbent Adam Smith, have voted to send tens of billions of dollars for the genocide and they continue to fund it. Even virtually all of the so-called progressive Democrats have voted repeatedly for what they call “defensive” weapons, but as we know, there is absolutely no aspect of the genocidal Israeli state that is defensive.

After over two and a half years of Democratic-Party-supported genocide of the Palestinian people, the Washington state Democratic Party has now decided to pass a resolution condemning the genocide and urging Congressmembers to call for an arms embargo on Israel. This is obviously under the intense pressure of millions of working people across the nation, especially with powerful AIPAC-bankrolled incumbents being thrown out by antiwar candidates in New York City and Colorado primaries.

And yet, even now, the King County Democrats and five Democratic Party Legislative District groups in Washington have endorsed Democrat Adam Smith. Smith is a darling of AIPAC who has not only voted for tens of billions of dollars of weapons to Israel for the genocide, but has also voted repeatedly to block U.N. food aid to Gaza.

We should recognize this resolution for what it is: an attempt by the Democratic Party to launder their genocidal and warmongering record and save their rotten party from the massive working-class anger.

The genocide will NOT be ended by gatekeepers in a genocidal party giving cover to genocide-supporting politicians.

I encourage everyone who wants to end the genocide to donate and get involved in our campaign. https://t.co/sh3zyhgTI7

We are fighting to end all military aid to Israel, for an end to all weapons and tech for genocide or imperialist war, and for a permanent arms embargo against Israel. If we win this election, it will be the biggest blow yet to AIPAC and the billionaires.

[GenXGirl @GenXGirl1994]

Adam Smith is the Israel-bought co-sponsor of Section 219 of the NDAA to merge the US military with Israel.

Kshama Sawant is seeking to unseat him in the dem primary. Let’s give her a hand.

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

I'm an antiwar socialist running for Congress.

My main opponent, 29-year incumbent Democrat Adam Smith, just voted NO on a resolution that would have forced U.S. troops out of Lebanon in seven days.

Smith was one of 117 Democrats who voted NO.

Adam Smith needs to be thrown out of office. Electing another Democrat is a failed strategy for the antiwar movement. Join my independent revolutionary socialist campaign.

Mearsheimer's opening statement deserves to be heard in its entirety.

"Unliteral sanctions by the United States resulted in 28 million deaths. This is what you get when you turn into a Crusader State... the United States tries to promote like-minded democracies and fails!"

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

AOC will not team up with MTG to sanction Israel because of identity politics

But she teamed up with Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to call for more sanctions on China

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

If this won't make your blood boil, then I don't know what will.

We unfortunately have school shootings in the US.

But imagine if the shooter actually is a US soldier or someone protected by police.

That is what these Palestinian children faced when they were being shot at and killed in their own school by an Israeli soldier or settler.

Today’s Victory Day, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany, we remember one of the most famous moments from newly liberated Berlin.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Asked if he thinks Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Obama accuses the questioner of not following the rules, then says “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere”

Obama is a historically inconsequential former president who believes in nothing but his own celebrity

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

It is an outrage that the US is hosting the World Cup while drenched in blood from their unprovoked wars .@FIFAcom have sold their souls. Time to #Boycott the World Cup #GoalsNotGuns

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Let the record reflect that not one former living president denounced Trump’s genocidal pledge to destroy an entire civilization

Like Obama, they’re inconsequential moral cowards who worry in the back of their minds about being held accountable for their own war crimes

It’s so cool that an actual fascist is more left than the Democratic Party

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

This is one of the worst cases of repression of a journalist in the so-called “democratic” West that I’ve ever seen. Any “human rights” or “press freedom” organization that doesn’t forcefully advocate for @hussedogru is failing in its mission.
