BREAKING: Jill Stein and her Campaign Manager and Deputy Campaign Manager, Jason Call and Kelly Merrill-Cayer, have been arrested at Washington University in St. Louis while supporting a protest against WashU’s ties to the war on Gaza.
Video from @KallieECox
@KallieECox Jill sent this video shortly before the police started arresting students and supporters at Washington University:
Jill and others were attempting to deescalate with police before they began arresting people:

This video shows police use of force against Jill and others at Washington University:
It's shameful that university administrations are condoning the use of force against their own students who are simply calling for peace, human rights, and an end to a genocide that the American people abhor.
Update: Jill, Jason, and Kelly were detained with ~100 others at St. Louis County Jail for 5+ hours before being released around 2am.

The political system is broken. Over 60% of us now say the two-party establishment has failed us and we need a party that serves the people.

I’m running for President to offer a better choice for the people. Join us!

Let's put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot across the country.

People are tired of being thrown under the bus by wealthy elites & their bought politicians, tired of living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to pay the rent, locked into student debt & medical debt, with child poverty doubling, rising diseases of despair, & growing hopelessness.

1/27 In honor of this proxy war birthday, I'd like to share some forbidden truths the war machine does NOT want you to know... because it’s hurting us all, and no one more than the people of Ukraine, the cannon fodder in this tragic war. jillstein.net/blog/2023/02/1…
2/27 We need a movement to overcome the special interests behind the war machine – war profiteers, fossil fuel & Wall Street barons profiting from the carnage. In the interests of building that movement, here are some empowering truths the corporate media keep hidden from view.
3/27 Martin Luther King spoke the first forbidden truth nearly 60 years ago - that the US war machine is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. Well it’s much bigger now and it’s impoverishing and endangering all of us.

Threats to Assange's health are the cumulative result of extraordinarily cruel, unusual, degrading & inhuman conditions imposed on him. This includes 10 years in arbitrary detention w/periods of solitary confinement despite never having been convicted of a crime.
Assange has been subjected to:
•relentless persecution that systematically violated the rule of law & due process, and had little basis in fact, and
•illegal surveillance in the Ecuadorian embassy which included video recording of his legal & medical consultations.
Assange has faced the firepower of at least 3 US gov agencies:
•DOJ overseeing a lawless prosecution
•CIA conducting illegal surveillance & planning assassination
•FBI overseeing computer crimes in Iceland committed by a hacker in a scheme to falsely implicate Assange

War is a racket & crime against humanity. We must condemn Putin's attack on Ukraine & stand in solidarity with people caught in the crossfire between great powers run by oligarchs & nationalist warmongers. And we need to tell the truth about US/NATO provocations that got us here.
In 1990 negotiations on German reunification between the US and USSR, Bush's Secretary of State James Baker told Gorbachev the US could make "iron-clad guarantees" that NATO would not expand "one inch eastward." That promise was quickly broken. latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
In 1998, George Kennan, architect of the Cold War 'containment' policy, was asked about NATO expansion. He said: “I think it is the beginning of a new cold war... I think it is a tragic mistake... Of course, there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia.”

They lied to you about Vietnam.
They lied to you about Iraq & Afghanistan.
They lied to you about Syria & Libya.
They lied to you about Honduras & Bolivia.
They lied to you about Assange & Russiagate.

So why the hell would you believe what they're telling you about Ukraine?
Russiagate conspiracy theory is dying & none too soon. Russiagate was the 1st step to manufacture consent for war w Russia, peddled by the same MIC tools now drumming up #UkraineCrisis.
Screw warmongers pushing us to the brink. Pass the mic to the folks who got #Russiagate right!
As one of Russiagate’s targets, I was hauled in for a 3-year Senate Intel Cmte investigation based on the “Russian asset” smear.

The Senate report found zero evidence for that BS. And of course there's been zero correction from corporate media. Just another political hit job.

Right now I’m in a battle for the future of independent politics and I need your help.

Go to jillstein.net to learn about our fight to ensure independents and alternative parties can get on the ballot, challenge the ruling elites and build real democracy!
We're fighting an FEC decision that limits independents’ and alternative parties’ use of public matching funds to get on the ballot. The FEC is demanding our 2016 campaign repay $175K in public matching funds we used to complete ballot drives - over 5 years ago!
The FEC is now refusing, after the fact, to recognize our use of matching funds for ballot drives during the 2016 primary. With our 2016 campaign account all but closed, the FEC is attempting to hold me, as the candidate, liable for repaying $175K from my own retirement funds.
