I want to add a note of caution to this thread: The allegation of mass hysterectomies will need to be investigated. It is genocide. We don't know the full story yet. But we already know crimes against humanity are being funded by both parties.
I created this to counter establishment propaganda about Jill Stein and the Green Party:
JILL STEIN: FACTS & FALSEHOODS (1/5)
FALSE: Jill Stein and the Green Party “show up every four years.”
FACT: Jill Stein is a Harvard-educated doctor and environmental health advocate who has helped win victories in campaign finance reform, racially-just redistricting, and the clean-up of incinerators, coal plants, and other toxic threats. The Green Party runs candidates at every level of government, from school boards to presidential races. Greens hold elected office across the U.S.
JILL STEIN: FACTS & FALSEHOODS (2/5)
FALSE: Jill Stein is a “Russian agent” who “sat next to Putin.”
FACT: Jill Stein attended a 2015 Moscow media conference, during which she criticized Vladimir Putin’s militarism. At the conference, Putin and Mike Flynn (then an ex-Obama DIA Director) briefly sat at her table. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated and found no wrongdoing on Stein’s part.
Chicago and #Gaza have roughly similar population sizes. Let's substitute 'Chicago' for 'Gaza' to describe the scale of events:
Imagine in 1948, Chicago's residents are forced from their homes and subjected to brutal occupation...
🧵Substitute the word "Chicago" for "Gaza"
Between 2008 and 2022, more than 6,000 Chicagoans are killed, mostly women and children, compared to around 300 occupiers. The occupiers also imprison thousands of Chicagoans (including kids) often without legal recourse.
🧵Substitute the word "Chicago" for "Gaza"
In retaliation, a Chicago militia storms the occupiers in October of 2023, killing and kidnapping hundreds of civilians. The occupiers decide the appropriate response is to level virtually the entire city of Chicago.
The fact that #Israel feels so free to annihilate the Palestinian people while the world watches should terrify all of us.
To every Zionist troll spewing propaganda at me:
I grew up in Beirut during war. With a Lebanese Christian father and a Jewish American mother. I see how #Palestinians have been dehumanized. Which is why I vigorously stand up for them in the face of this Israeli massacre.
And to anyone asking in good faith:
Yes, I absolutely oppose and condemn ALL attacks on civilians, no matter which side does it.
The fight for ballot access IS the battle for democracy. The ruling parties actively restrict ballot access, in violation of the Constitution.
#CornelWest2024 was already planning to gain ballot access in 30+ states where the Green Party is NOT on the ballot.
🇺🇸 BALLOT ACCESS
Now that @CornelWest is running as an Independent, we will also work to get on the ballot in the fewer than 20 states where the Green Party is on the ballot line. It is a central focus of our campaign, to give voters a better option than the duopoly.
🇺🇸 BALLOT ACCESS
Every state has different rules, but the idea is the same: Gather and submit (in 2024) a certain number of valid signatures = get on the ballot.
It is designed by the ruling parties to be onerous. The idea is to block any opposition, which is anti-democratic.
I am vehemently opposed to Donald Trump, a bigot, sexist, and criminal. That said, I want to challenge the liberal assumption that Biden is vastly superior. In fact, there are metrics by which Biden is objectively worse than Trump.
COVID CATASTROPHE
Biden has presided over far more Covid deaths than Trump. He declared 'independence' from the pandemic a few months after taking office and never looked back, methodically dismantling the Covid safety net. By his own Covid standards, he shouldn't be president.
ABUSE OF MIGRANTS
Biden has been downright Trumpian on immigration. Obama and Biden built the child cages that Trump used. As POTUS, Biden continued Trump and Miller's heinous policies, and even exceed their cruelty, particularly against Haitian migrants.
Looking objectively at the Dem field, @RobertKennedyJr is a MUCH better general election candidate than Biden.
#RFKJr has high net favorables, independent and cross-party appeal, and would trounce any Republican.
The establishment claim that Biden is more electable is absurd.
Now let's follow up with some facts from today's NYT:
"Polling conducted in May found that only 22 percent of Latino voters and 33 percent of Black voters were aware of 'any specific thing' Mr. Biden had done in office to improve their lives."
