So @RepAdamSchiff - one of the most pro-war, anti-Palestinian Dems in Congress - showed up at #EvictionMoratorium for a photo-op with Jesse Jackson today.

I asked him if the $4 billion for apartheid Israel & regime change wars he supports should instead be spent on free housing
During right-wing Democrat @RepAdamSchiff's photo-op, I asked him why he's focused virtually all his energy spinning out hysterical conspiracies to ramp up a new Cold War with Russia, driving up a military budget that should be massively slashed and spent on free housing.
Here's Adam Schiff lining up for a photo-op and praying with Jesse Jackson, who has consistently spoke out against the costly and inhuman wars Schiff supports
I wrote this in 2018 on Adam Schiff’s warmongering, his arms industry backers, and his role in securing a lucrative weapons deal for those donors truthdig.com/articles/russi…

Jamaal Bowman addressing the crowd at US Capitol demonstrating for eviction moratorium. Numbers static since last night, AOC reportedly to arrive later with bus full of WFP members. Almost everyone here is w/in the Squad’s political network, wonder if that will change.
Interesting comments by Cori Bush to the crowd urging them not to discuss issues other than the eviction moratorium and asking supporters to intervene if anyone does so. I wonder why she felt compelled to say that 🤔
AOC: “There are different theories of change, and some say if you’re nice enough & gentle enough, you’ll get what you want. We don’t subscribe to that theory… You need confrontation.”

Rep @CoriBush has called for a rally at the US Capitol at midnight, when the eviction moratorium expires
I asked Rep. @CoriBush about the rally she helped organize, why it happened so late in the game. She said she has been pushing for months for the White House to extend the moratorium.
I asked Rep. @CoriBush about Pelosi and Biden’s role in letting the moratorium reach its expiration

Since I published this investigation into the role of US intel fronts in cultivating Cuban hip-hop & performance artists as anti-communist regime change activists, the Biden White House announced plans to meet w/rapper & #PatriaYVida star @Yotuel007 thegrayzone.com/2021/07/25/cub…
Joe Biden, who has said nothing about repression of massive protests vs the US-backed regime in Colombia, will host right-wing Cuban American leaders & anti-communist Cuban artists at White House meeting affirming his support for regime change nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…
While the Spanish govt provides anti-communist Cuban regime change rapper @Yotuel007 with a home base, it has imprisoned rapper Pablo Hasél, a Spanish citizen, for insulting the king and denouncing the police and army. #sosespaña en.esquerra.cat/en/the-parliam…

Live-streaming from Zionist “anti-Semitism” rally in front of the US Capitol twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
At today's pro-Israel rally masked as rally against antisemitism, I met a guy in a "Kahane was right" repping the racist demagogue.

Asked if anyone at the rally expressed concern over the fascist symbol, he replied, "Not one."

(Sorry, audio from stream was fatally out of sync)
This older white man insisted he was indigenous to the land of Palestine ("Judea and Samaria") and said it was antisemitic to say otherwise.

And like others I spoke to, he conceded that American Jews today face no institutional discrimination or barriers to achievement.

It's revealing that Ana thinks @aaronjmate should be ashamed to be among people like Mpho Masemola (front left), a renowned South African anti-apartheid activist who was a prison mate of Mandela at Robben Island.

Only the most clueless neocon would sneer at someone like him.
After a week of McCarthyite lies, TYT/Jacobin's @AnaKasparian pushes an article by a NATO spook site to denigrate the name of Serena Shim, a courageous journalist who died under suspicious circumstances while reporting on covert Turkish arms deliveries to death squads in Syria
Paul Larudee is a Bay Area anti-war activist who works as a piano tuner. I've personally seen him lead groups to Homs to deliver aid to families ravaged by the dirty war waged on Syria in the name of the policy Ana supports.

No words can capture the stupidity of this smear.

Lemon says Borgen was "wearing a yarmulke" but omits video & photos showing he was wearing a hoodie that would have covered any kippa.

Video also shows him attempting to charge at the accused after the melee, shouting, "One on one!"

One youth is now charged with a hate crime.
If Borgen was targeted *as a Jew* - and not as a pro-Israel demonstrator engaged in a political dispute with Palestinians - then how could anyone see the kippa he claimed he was wearing?

He was wearing a hoodie, bore no religious garb I can see, yet it's treated as a hate crime ImageImage
CNN's @donlemon claims the accused were chanting "F Jews" but offers no evidence. He also says Jews are removing mezuzahs from their doors because they are being hunted down at home, which is absurd

It looks like an effort to change the subject from piles of dead kids in Gaza.
