I'm sorry Mr. Friedman. I'm afraid your Blue Check Mark is terminal.
Lmao, this guy was in Obama's cabinet and was an Army officer during the height of Iraq War.
2.4 million Iraqis have died as a result of the invasion and occupation.

People, please stop bringing up what happened and is continuing to happen right after the rigid timeframe I imposed. It makes the thought experiment look bad.

New: 100s of public figures, including Noam Chomsky, @NaomiAKlein, @ggreenwald, @PeterBeinart, @frankieboyle, @akalamusic and @m7mdkurd have signed a letter denouncing a coordinated attempt to smear @Lowkey0nline and get his music removed from Spotify:

mintpressnews.com/noam-chomsky-c…
On account of his Palestine advocacy, Lowkey has been the target of a surveilance and smear campaign from the pro-Israel lobby, as @MintPressNews exposed last week.

mintpressnews.com/union-of-jewis…
In recent weeks, Lowkey has had a talk at Cambridge Uni postponed & a concert at the National Union of Students canceled due to pressure from the Israel lobby. Now, they're trying to get his music completely removed from Spotify.

"The US and Venezuela" -- which one of these countries is sanctioning the other? Which one has organized multiple coups against the other's president? 🤔

Horrible bothsides-ism from the Washington Post 🇺🇸🇻🇪 Image
Did you know, for instance, that members of President Trump's security team tried to invade Venezuela in 2020 and install Guaidó as president?

A few months later, an "ex" CIA agent was found outside Venezuela's largest oil refinery with c4 explosives, a submachine gun & a grenade launcher.

He's currently on trial in Venezuela, but US media has totally ignored his case.

I wrote about it here:

Like clockwork: Just hours after the US signals it needs to buy oil from Venezuela again, Bloomberg has decided that Venezuela is no longer a socialist country. 😂🇻🇪
