Our statement on the news that both @PeteButtigieg and @amyklobuchar are joining @BernieSanders and @ewarren in not attending @AIPAC's conference.

This is a watershed moment and a major victory against the bigotry that AIPAC has legitimized for decades. #SkipAIPAC
@PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar @BernieSanders @ewarren @AIPAC This powerful victory comes after years of pressure against AIPAC's bigotry by Palestinians, Muslims, Jews, and other progressives.

Our #SkipAIPAC campaign was led by a grassroots movement of American Jews with deep partnership by @MoveOn, @IndivisibleTeam, and @WorkingFamilies.
@PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar @BernieSanders @ewarren @AIPAC @MoveOn @IndivisibleTeam @WorkingFamilies This sort of bold campaign can only be successful when we get grassroots donations. Will you pitch in now to celebrate this #SkipAIPAC win so we have the resources for our next big campaign?

Trump's plan is totally and utterly bankrupt and reveals the shameful way that our government has catered to the Israeli right — at the cost of Palestinian freedom — for our entire lives. All people of conscience must publicly reject Trump's plan for permanent occupation.
1/ Unfortunately, many Jewish & political leaders will be receptive to Trump's plan, calling it a starting place for peace.

So the grassroots of the community must be loud and clear: we condemn Trump's plan for permanent occupation. Sign our petition: actionnetwork.org/forms/american…
2/ As Trump is impeached and faces removal from office, his friend Netanyahu faces three indictments on corruption.

This is a political ploy by both leaders to distract from their abuse of power, designed to help Netanyahu win the election in less than six weeks.

Our concern about the participation of the JDL in Sunday’s march prompted us to speak too soon. We know that the fight against antisemitism is part of the fight for collective liberation for all people. [1/4]
Because of that we consistently show up not just for others but also for ourselves — that’s what freedom and dignity for all means. It is for this reason that many of our members will be marching on January 5, alongside our friends and partners and broader community. [2/4]
We disagree profoundly with many of the organizers, and we reject tactics that rely on policing or alignment with white nationalists. We know that those tactics harm Jews of Color and harm many of the communities with which we need to build solidarity. [3/4]

After a week of antisemitic speech, Trump is now signing an executive order to withhold money from college campuses that "tolerate anti-Israel movements." This is not about keeping Jews safe. It’s just more antisemitism.
nytimes.com/2019/12/10/us/…
The order defines Judaism as a “nationality,” promoting the classically bigoted idea that American Jews are not, well, American.
Donald Trump cannot be trusted to define antisemitism for Jews. He incites deadly white nationalist violence against our community. He calls us disloyal. When speaking to American Jews, he refers to Israel as “your country” because he believes we do not really belong here.

#BernieSanders suggested a 100% tax on incomes above $1mn.” Nobody should earn more than a million dollars.”(1974) His net worth is $2,5mn 👇🏼Thread
“I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.”
“Our Revolution” ranks 6751 on Amazon and is sold along with his other books while Sanders attacks Amazon and the wealthy.

When I “officially” endorsed #Bernie2020, the campaign asked for a “short” statement for a graphic.

I'm wordy; wrote a whole page. Oops.🤓

It’s hard to distill why I believe so strongly in this #BigUS movement & @BernieSanders, but I’d like to share my attempt.

A thread...
(1)
@BernieSanders The part of my statement that made it on the #BernieSanders graphic boils down to one word:

TRUST

Bernie’s stances are grounded in principled judgment, proven to be right & just for decades. His policies prove to be successful when enacted. I know who he'll be once elected.
(2)
@BernieSanders My passion & purpose is #PublicEducation, so my endorsement is also rooted in that.

#Bernie’s full platform - from #MedicareForAll to #CriminalJusticeReform - will have profound positive impacts on students, communities, and the ed profession, in both direct & indirect ways.

Today, it's been 20 years since anarchists and other protesters used horizontal organizing and decentralized direct action to shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle.

This thread will explore that history.

For a personal account: cwc.im/WTO
The worldwide network People's Global Action emerged out of an encuentro (meeting) called by the Zapatistas in 1996; it helped to organize a series of Global Days of Action.

Based in horizontality and direct action, the PGA points of unity remain radical by today's standards.
June 18, 1999 was one of these Global Days of Action.

In response to a G8 summit, a Carnival Against Capitalism organized by participants in Earth First! and Reclaim the Streets shut down London's financial district.

This set the stage.

More details: cwc.im/June18

Do any interesting anomalies lurk amongst the followers of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates? We’ll be diving into this over the coming days, beginning with @marwilliamson, whose 2.75M followers seem out of proportion with her campaign’s popularity.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@marwilliamson @ZellaQuixote Marianne Williamson’s earliest and most recent 300Kish followers look legit, but the 2 million+ in between are another story - the majority have default profile pics, few or no tweets or followers, and were recent creations at the time they followed @marwilliamson.
@marwilliamson @ZellaQuixote Next up: @TulsiGabbard and @JulianCastro. We didn't spot any noticeable anomalies in Gabbard's follower growth; Castro's account shows some mild spikes in follows from empty accounts with default profile pictures, but on a much smaller scale than Williamson's.

#BernieSanders has announced his run as the oldest person ever to run for president.

Sanders has spent the time since he tried to subvert the will of the voters by claiming he would contest the 2016 convention slamming Democrats & the Dem base.

Where is the fox/henhouse emoji?
Three of the 6 women candidates running for the Dem nomination have a more progressive voting record than Sanders, with Warren and Gillibrand proffering seriously progressive legislation for women and families that bests Sanders.

We have better messengers for Sanders' message.
This comprehensive interview with @NYDailyNews is still the litmus for Sanders. Read the transcript. He's had three years since to fill in the gaps.

He has not.
