Graham Platner to Chuck Schumer: “You need to stop having a problem with the illegal wars we have been starting simply because of the paperwork that wasn’t done properly. You should be against them because they are fundamentally immoral, unethical, and illegal. We should have absolutely no discussion about funding them. Wars that are killing people for the benefit of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, those wars should not be waged, period”

Hello. I'm a white male Democrat running for an unspecified federal office. You may not have noticed, but I'm Christian and a veteran. I think that the real division in our country isn't left versus right, but top versus bottom. And the key issue I'm running on? Affordability.

"Hate Trump, love war on Iran" gotta be an ideological combo held by no more than 1% of the general population and yet it's like 90% of liberal pundits and at least half of liberal politicians

@ChaseMadar Both things are true to an extent Should accept Trump is not genuinely “anti war” while not pretending elite Dems are either. It’s why either sincere progressives need to take over the Democratic Party (been tried, has failed repeatedly) or vote Green.

This is cope from a pundit who fucked up royally, stupidly swallowing every last drop of hype that a 2nd Trump presidency would be antiwar and not attack Iran, even after the 1st term’s constant bellicosity towards Tehran. Narcissistic edgelord caught with pants down, lashing out

Rarely watch tv news, but flipping back and forth between FoxNews and BBC News shows real range. One is shameless pro-war propaganda for dummies, the other is shameless pro-war propaganda for college grads. Like I said, real range in our famously free media.

Only 7% of Dems support this illegal war and I think they are all elected to congress.

“If you’re going to bomb and destabilize a nation, please use the correct paperwork and procedures.” - a lot of these democrats right now

You cannot ‘free’ people by killing them and destroying their country.

Trump is a warmonger just like all the Democrats and Republicans before him who started wars.

@EmmaVigeland Absolutely insane statement by you Very disappointed No chance I vote for this person even if she wins the nomination which she won’t

This isn't a criticism of leaving the regime intact; it's a statement of fact. Love to see right-wing psyops about AOC are already working on the dumbest online leftists who think she's a nag or whatever. Chomsky cozying up to Epstein shows misogyny isn't confined to the right.

@kenklippenstein I remember when the progressive caucus was about to release a letter opposing the extreme sanctions on Russia but backed down because wanting to destroy that country is wildly popular among liberals

Asked what victory in Ukraine looks like, AOC replies: "There's no conversation about Ukraine that can happen without Ukraine, and so they, of course, lead in terms of setting their their terms on this." "But I think that overall, as a principle, we shouldn't reward imperialism; and I don't think that we should allow Russia to continue or any nation to continue violating a nation's sovereignty and to continue to be rewarded and whose main lesson and takeaway is that they will gain." "And so what that looks like in the specifics, I think is a deeper conversation, but on principle, I think that is what we should be pursuing."

@NobelPrize Machado was pro war against the Venezuelan people yet you gave her a peace prize. The prize has been worthless for years but you put the final nail in your coffin by conferring it upon her. You exposed yourselves and hastened the end of what was once a prestigious designation.

Yes. Homelessness. In capitalist countries, homes stay empty while people sleep outside. That is more depressing than any architecture.

The huge death tolls in Iran being splashed all over the media are sourced to an outfit in Fairfax, VA called "Human Rights Activists in Iran" that is overwhelmingly funded by the US government. What is their methodology? Is it credible? Who cares? Just pump the big numbers out

Maduro the "isolated dictator with no popular support" is facing the 8th straight day of nationwide marches in his defense

Removing US sanctions that collectively punish the population would help the people of Iran but I don’t think that’s what you mean

Not saying anything new, but it's insane to me that the US can make up lies, admit they're lies, kidnap the leader of a sovereign country, force him to go thru a show trial based on those lies, and everyone including the press treats it as some kind of legitimate process.

It’s wild how European leaders are wringing their hands about a US invasion of Greenland being a violation of international law when just the other day they stood aside or even cheered as the US invaded Venezuela in violation of international law.

@ggreenwald @RevoltPolitic Well I vote Green so…

Had Kamala won, her foreign policy would have been shaped by Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol and AIPAC. With Trump, it's shaped by Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Miriam Adelson and AIPAC. You can vote all you want. DC bipartisan foreign policy will prevail: x.com/LindseyGrahamS…

Having Trump stand on his plane threatening more regime-change operations, including one of the neocons' decade-long crown jewel in Cuba, while Lindsey Graham stands next to him twitching in glee and ecstasy -- is the perfect illustration of MAGA foreign policy:

Venezuela and Truth - by Craig Murray, January 4, 2026, part 1 The mainstream media covered Venezuela non-stop yesterday. They many times mentioned Delcy Rodríguez, Vice President, because Trump stated she is now in charge. They never mentioned that 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the torture to death of her father, socialist activist Jorge Rodríguez, by the CIA-backed security services of the US-aligned Pérez regime in Venezuela. That would of course spoil the evil communists versus nice democrats narrative that is being forced down everybody’s throats. Nor did they mention that the elected governments of Hugo Chávez reduced extreme poverty by over 70%, reduced poverty by 50%, halved unemployment, quadrupled the number receiving a state pension and achieved 100% literacy. Chávez took Venezuela from the most unequal society for wealth distribution in Latin America to the most equal. Nor have they mentioned that María Corina Machado is from one of Venezuela’s wealthiest families, which dominated the electricity and steel industries before nationalisation, and that her backers are the very families that were behind those CIA-controlled murderous regimes. Economic sanctions imposed by the West – and another thing they have not mentioned is that the UK has confiscated over £2 billion of the Venezuelan government’s assets – have made it difficult for the Maduro government to do much more than shore up the gains of the Chávez years. But that Venezuela is a major production or trafficking point for narcotics entering the USA is simply a nonsense. Nicolás Maduro has his faults, but he is not a drug trafficking kingpin. The claim is utter garbage. The willingness of the West to accept the opposition’s dodgy vote tallies from the 2024 Presidential elections does not legitimise invasion and kidnap. Yesterday almost every Western government came up with a statement that managed to endorse Trump’s bombing and kidnap – plainly grossly illegal in international law – and simultaneously claim to support international law. The hypocrisy is truly off the scale. It is also precisely the Western powers that support the genocide in Gaza that support the attack on Venezuela. The genocide in Gaza demonstrated the end of hopes – which were extremely important to my own worldview – for the rule of international law to outweigh the brutal use of force in international relations. The kidnap of Maduro, the rush of Western powers to accept it, and the inability of the rest of the world to do anything about it, have underlined that international law is simply dead. In the long list of appalling awards of the Nobel peace prize, none can be worse than the latest to the Venezuelan traitor María Corina Machado, intended actively to promote and bring forward the imperialist attack on Venezuela by the United States. It takes a great deal of effort to come up with a worse decision than to award Kissinger immediately after the massive bombing of Laos and Cambodia. It was a dreadful award, but it was intended to recognise the putative Paris peace deal and prod the United States towards honouring the peace process. Initially it was a joint award with Vietnamese negotiator Lê Đức Thọ (who sensibly declined). The Kissinger award was a terrible mistake, but the Committee were seeking to end a war, starting from a willingness to cooperate with unprincipled realpolitik. In the award to Machado, they are deliberately seeking to endorse and promote the start of a war. That is a very different thing.
