330 Members of the House of Representatives signed a letter saying that $3.8 billion to Israel for weapons (we need to stop referring this as "aid". This isn't aid.) should be unconditional. "Since the Biden administration is already firmly....

committed to continuing unconditional military aid to Israel’s right-wing government, the letter appears to be a reaction to the recent introduction of a bill that would prohibit U.S.-provided arms and security assistance from being used in certain...

And for the record, this is not aid, this is not really about...

Israel's defense. Israel has a very strong military already. This is really about weapons manufacturers making money. It's repulsive. I love this country, I love our people, but our government is a rogue government. We are not the good guys on the...

@RoKhanna this you? I thought those investments in weapons manufacturers were your wife's. If so, then why hasn't she divested herself of them yet? I'm actually appalled at you, Rohit. This is disgraceful! You're being told this by a Jew who recognizes Israel is ethnic cleansing.

And yet what have you said in defense of Julian Assange, a multiple award winning FOREIGN journalist who is being charged with crimes that amount to basic journalism and making sure his source is safe, you government stenographer?
Bob Woodward says that ALL journalists will use stolen information, arrange for meetings to accept documents and make sure their sources are safe. This is what the government is trying to convict Assange for 175 years for doing.
mintpressnews.com/bob-woodward-r…
Over 1000 journalists recognize Julian Assange's contributions to journalism and the threat to freedom that his persecution represents.

Tonight is the City Council meeting that was delayed last week for contract talks with the Fire Protection District Board. Once again I have submitted a comment about cannabis, in advance of the Council re-examining the illegal ordinance they passed several months ago. Here is...
my comment:

"I'm sure you are quite aware that a number of your constituents want to be able to have a cannabis dispensary. Some number of folks don't have a strong opinion on the subject, while others are vehemently opposed to allowing dispensaries.

Some of those people...
pretend a city should ban cannabis because they don't like the smell. Others pretend that cannabis dispensaries will turn our city into a festering crime haven, often insulting the beautiful city to our south in the process.

To that I say: they should have more faith in...

I've posted this before, but I'm posting it again. A Christian conservative nutjob, named Adrian Zenz, who thinks God created him to take China down cooked up a totally fake report with manipulated numbers and links that don't say what he claims they...

do, and reported that China is conducting a genocide of its Uyghurs.

US politicians and US media, seeking negative publicity to use in economic warfare, to manufacture consent for future sanctions (and potentially war) grabbed onto this fake report and...
have been using it as leverage in diplomatic relations and telling it to the entire world as if it's true. It is unclear whether any politician is doing this on purpose. But there's no excuse for anyone in media not doing the slightest bit of basic....

In anticipation of the American Canyon City Council reviewing the illegal ordinance it passed a few months ago, I am focusing my public comments (as you may have noticed) on #cannabis. Here's the comment I submitted ahead of Tuesday's meeting:

Today I would like to talk... 1/8

This is not a democracy. And it's not peacetime. You live in a brutal #empire that exploits and enslaves people throughout the global south, and leaves a wake of putrid oil, poisonous acids, mined-out pits and blood behind it. This empire enforces... 1/5

extreme poverty and racist violence and gang violence throughout much of the world. And when poor people try to rise up and replace oppressive governments with popularly elected ones, the empire will help rig elections or overthrow elected leaders. 2/5

thegrayzone.com/2021/03/08/cen…
If the empire decides to overthrow a leader, that leader will be dubbed a dictator and the poor of that country will be starved until they are dissatisfied enough with their government to make a coup easier.

Fuck Joe Biden for this horrible shit... 3/5

For five years, people on the left have felt the need to attach a disclaimer to any statement about someone or anything that criticizes a Democrat. We didn't used to have to do that, didn't have to say "Not that I like Bob Dole" or constantly defend...1/4
