The corporate wing of the Dem Party is at it again: attacking the left, embracing neocons & trying to stop Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination. They’re making the same mistakes as 2016. Let’s hope this time the progressives win or we’re all screwed
In the NOW

Say NO to the costly interventionist wars that have cost us trillions of dollars. We must reinvest those trillions of dollars in the needs of the American people.

I mean, even if one really thinks the establishment of Israel was a great thing, to call it the greatest political achievement of the 20th century is just crazy given all the things that happened in the 20th century
I've been watching AIPAC speeches by US politicians and some of the things they say to demonstrate their support for Israel are insane
Nancy Pelosi at AIPAC in 2017 called Israel's founding "the greatest political achievement of the 20th century”
The violent establishment of a settler colonial state was a greater achievement than the end of Jim Crow, the end of South African apartheid, the defeat of the Nazis?

“He supported the notorious Hyde Amendment prohibiting any and all federal funding for abortions, and fathered the “Biden Amendment” that banned the use of US foreign aid for abortion research.”
Yikes
It will be interesting to see how the anti-Bernie centrist identitarian crowd justifies supporting Joe Biden who regularly allied with racists and said Roe v Wade “went too far”
Joe Biden helped bury us in student debt:
“As far back as 1978, he helped negotiate a deal rolling back bankruptcy protections for graduates with federal student loans, and in 1984 worked to do the same for borrowers with loans for vocational schools.”
“Media mythology about “Lunch Bucket Joe” cannot stand up to scrutiny. His bona fides as a pal of working people are about as solid and believable as those of the last Democratic nominee for president.”

This is another blatant lie.
Here's the actual speech: https://twitter.com/NicolasMaduro/status/1105272338478702592 …
In the 23rd minute @NicolasMaduro calls for "Active Resistance in the communities and families to inform, help, and promote actions of solidarity".

Mainstream media wants us to believe the same Trump administration that is enabling the genocide of Yemen is acting out of humanitarian concern in Venezuela. How stupid do they think we are?
More reason to believe the electricity blackout in Venezuela is US-backed sabotage. Once again, mainstream media outlets are falling for what is likely another US regime change PR stunt, this one more dangerous than the last https://thegrayzone.com/2019/03/11/us-regime-change-blueprint-proposed-venezuelan-electricity-blackouts-as-watershed-event-for-galvanizing-public-unrest/ … (corrected link)

In ignoring the social gains achieved under the Bolivarian government, the corporate media justifies the US coup and right-wing opposition's to eliminate Chavismo as a social force, argues @GregShupak

US regime change blueprint proposed Venezuelan electricity blackouts as "watershed event" for "galvanizing public unrest." Authored in 2010 by CANVAS, the NGO that trained Juan Guaido, the memo reads like a strategy plan for today's coup. https://thegrayzone.com/2019/03/11/us-regime-change-blueprint-proposed-venezuelan-electricity-blackouts-as-watershed-event-for-galvanizing-public-unrest/ … v @MaxBlumenthal

This was the person selected by CNN last night to question Tulsi about Assad. She’s a corporate consultant who has worked for Goldman Sachs, Google, and Time Warner. Why does CNN pretend these “town halls” are representative of average voters?
