Why is it important to pay attention to what they DO and not what they SAY? This is the perfect example: HR 4373, introduced by @RepBarbaraLee, is yet another bill funding coups and funding Israeli crimes as well. The bill, which incidentally....

continues to use "Russian aggression" as an excuse, gives $3.3 billion to Israel unconditionally, gives money to the National Endowment For Democracy (which is a CIA front), USAID, which is a regime change engine, pays Juan Guaido's salary and funds....

which purports to protect whistle blowers, which we know is farce!

And who voted for this bill? Not just "anti-war" @RepBarbaraLee, but also @RoKhanna (whose wife invests in weapons), @IlhanOmar, @RepThompson (my Rep), @RepMarieNewman, ....

@BettyMcCollum04 (who actually wrote the bill trying to tie Israel aid to human rights, guess she didn't care that much), @MondaireJones, @PramilaJayapal, @JaredHuffman, @MarkDeSaulnier, and @JamaalBowmanNY. This is money that goes to killing people.....

And they haven't even covered the rents yet or provided healthcare during a pandemic. This is a disgrace!

My cannabis themed comment for today's city council meeting:
"I am asking again for the council to re-examine the city's cannabis ordinance based on 4 points:
1. The ventilation requirement is illegal and discriminatory.
2. The city should not be banning people from...
growing a plant in their back yard.
3. Residents should be able to purchase their products here in town. As stated in previous comments, cannabis is less harmful and less addictive than tobacco, alcohol or opiates- all of which are available in town.
4. This council gave the...
people its word, over nine months ago, that it would re-examine this ordinance in just six months, and it is important for elected bodies to keep their word.
5. Cannabis dispensaries will provide a few tax dollars, but will also provide a few jobs. It's just bizarre to watch...

Thread: This was a flyer from my first city council race. Although I did not win election: glyphosates were banned in public spaces, the skate park war repaired and a new section added, and because of my advocacy left turn lanes were added to American Canyon Road between.... Image
the highway and Flosden Rd, making that stretch of road safer for the residents on that section as a number of people had told me was their priority when I canvassed it for the race. I also happen to know I have the ear of a few city council members regarding bringing back the... Image

Am I saying all this to blow my own horn? No. Even though I did not win election, I was able to make positive things happen around me, and I want to encourage YOU to run for office, too. A lot of important dates, regarding filing for 2022 elections, will be... Image

So, Congressional progressives have been trying to rally support around extending the eviction moratorium. Somebody was angry at the Squad for not withholding a key vote to force a vote on Medicare For All, and they made excuses to this person...

for about an hour. The next day, Grayzone journalist Max Blumenthal asked Cori Bush if she would explain why the Squad chose not to withhold said votes, and the response @CoriBush gave was a totally dishonest erasing of Medicare For All activists that...

insulted all of our intelligence. And then her staff ended the questioning as soon as the journalist mentions Pelosi. Are people who demand progressives challenge leadership not allowed to ask questions anymore? No! We're not!

Independence Day thread⬇️
Independence Day is such a ludicrous, gaslighting holiday it's amazing! This is the day where the government says "Hey, congratulations! You're living on land stolen from Indigenous Americans, using an economic infrastructure that was built on....
excluding everybody who wasn't a White male, and has never been redesigned to make it equal and fair for everybody who lives here, but at least the forces of greed that are crushing you and everyone around you, driving people to live under overpasses and stand on street....

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...

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????
