You have got to be kidding! You're not pushing Medicare For All (which you co-sponsored) forward, you're not worried about the climate crisis beyond offering tax incentives, you're not trying to get low income households electric vehicles, you're not worried about rents or...
the coming eviction crisis, not worried about workers earning livable wages, not worried about Joe Biden supporting a Haitian dictator that refuses to leave office or funding neoNazi militias in Ukraine or helping ISIS by bombing anti-ISIS militias in Iraq and Syria, not...
worried about underpaid teachers having to pay for school supplies or art, band and physical education classes being gutted- you're worried about the cost of lumber????
And look at this. Lumber prices are actually dropping. Wtf Mike?

When Israel conducted another massacre in Gaza in May, US media told us that antisemitic attacks against Jews were rising. The truth is that the pro-Israel lobby paid for an advertising campaign that included deceptively edited videos and...

misinformation, to convince American Jews that they need Israel in order to be safe.

For example: a video of a Jewish guy being beaten by Arabs, one of them using a crutch, did not include the part where the guy (who no one could have known was Jewish)..

attacked a Palestinian protest, so all that was shown was the response to his attack.

And this same dynamic- Jews attacking and then pretending to be the victims, while only focusing on the response, is totally in line with how Israel and American...

Some people seem confused: from 1976 until the present, the Democrat Party moved farther and farther to the right until in 2016, Bernie Sanders and the rest of the left said "Enough is enough. We have to move to the left and enact some of these common sense policies."
To protect their donors, especially in the healthcare and weapons industries, the DNC rigged the 2016 primary election for someone they knew would lose, and pretended that Russia was the reason she lost.
Since 2016 the party has moved even farther right, because to defeat Donald Trump the DNC would have to appeal to the right, since the change the left wants was never a consideration for the Democrats, even though they sometimes SAY it is or co-sponsor bills they don't support.

With Nicaraguan elections coming up, the anti-socialist trolls are out already. I want to share this article by @BenjaminNorton from a few months ago, about a law requiring foreign agents to register. One name you'll hear a lot is Chamorro.

thegrayzone.com/2021/02/11/bid…
Nicaragua’s neoliberal former President Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, came to power in 1990 thanks to a US-backed terror war and blockade of the country, along with funding from Washington’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
The Chamorro clan is one of the wealthiest and most powerful oligarch families in Nicaragua. Many right-wing opposition leaders in the Central American nation are Chamorros, and they enjoy a close relationship with the US government.

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 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...
