Democrats want the war in Iran to escalate. Despite having the votes to pass a War Powers Resolution last week, they pushed it off to mid-April when it is likely that any troops that Trump is sending in will already be on the ground. This party needs to die and be replaced with a real opposition party. commondreams.org/news/meeks-jef…

For years Israel apologists have been admonishing me for calling Israel an apartheid state. For years liberal "moderates" have been saying it's extreme for me to call Zionism a fundamentally racist and murderous ideology. And yet, here we are. Spin this one, hasbarists. Go on.
Dyab Abou Jahjah@Aboujahjah

Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.

Wonder why the worst things come from private equity? It’s not that PE guys are greedier than other greedheads. It’s because their tax-preferred business model promises investors the high fees they're paying will get outsized returns — which can only be reaped by predation.

Listen vote how you want, but this kind of thinking is what created so many problems. This sick idea that Dem voters should try to be “savvy” political pundits rather than simply voting for their actual interests — it’s resulted in nominating terrible candidates who often lose.

I would vote for El-Sayed in a safe state and McMorrow in a swing state, simple as. He’s never won a competitive election before and she crushed hers

This is why @susanabulhawa's recent commentary is so important: The US/Israel frames their villainous war crimes as "mistakes," while the legal resistance of occupied people is framed as terrorism. There are "no innocents" in Palestine but IDF genociders are "kids." Contempt for non-Jewish life is core to the Israeli project, and pulling punches about that fact allows them to continue to launder their crimes.
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls. Why is nobody talking about this anymore? These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

In our film #W (2008), we tracked the U.S.-Iran problem in this scene, inspired by #DickCheney’s prophetic presentation in the War Room to Bush’s war cabinet. See the highlight below. "Where do you see a lack of American presence? What's missing? Iran. The motherlode. Third largest oil reserve in the world. Forty percent of the world's oil goes right through here, through the Straight of Hormuz. Control Iran, control Eurasia, control the world. Empire. Real empire." #IranWaryoutube.com/watch?v=VmwM9E…

One problem with Jesse’s narrative here is that Avi Lewis is himself Jewish. The fact that Jesse has to obscure that by conflating “Jews” with Zionists underscores that Avi’s assessment about Zionists being cartoonish supremacist cry-bullies is correct.
Jesse Brown@JesseBrown

Reminder that @avilewis, leader of the Federal NDP, believes antisemitism is just a "narrative" forced by the "Israel lobby" and that Jews are "cartoonish narcissists," "perpetrators," "supremacists" and "crybullies" who "urgently" must be made uncomfortable.

10 years ago the DNC rigged its primary against Bernie via superdelegates, media collusion & backroom deals singlehandedly exposing that the “Democratic” party is NOT democratic at all. The worst part is Bernie went along with it instead of building an alternative to the duopoly.
