Some Tweets from Ajamu Baraka


  • A response to the left-tail of the Clinton/Obama/Biden corporate democrats:
  • BAP is building. If you are in the L.A. area be sure to check this out.
  • The real reason Pelosi held articles of impeachment? One word - Iowa! She effectively imprisoned Sanders and Warren in the Senate by requiring them to take part in a charade that the Sanders & Warren supporters were largely responsible for. And they say Trump is cynical.
  • The legitimation crisis facing the political system in the U.S. mirrors the same crisis internationally as a result of decisions by the U.S. & its European allies to ignore international law - law that they largely established - because law has become an impediment to domination.
  • In any other nation 12 deaths in one month would be a scandal. But in racist U.S. who cares!
  • Breaking News: From Vietnam to Iraq, working class & poor in the military don't die defending democracy but the greedy global agenda of the capitalist oligarchy. Demand the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq & the Middle-East. Fight for human rights IN the U.S.
  • Why do we continue to pretend CNN is involved in journalism when in reality they are a propaganda operation for neoliberal capital? They are inviting everyone, including this Obama want-to-be, Deval Patrick to have a presidential townhall meeting except Gabbard. On what basis?
  • The attacks on Stein/Baraka campaign & Green Party reflect the prevasive ignorance & strategic limitations of the left. Clinton didn't lose in 2016, she won vote! The issue? No democracy in U.S. Therefore, target shouldn't be GP but building a campaign for radical democracy.
  • Clinton says FaceBook intends to elect Trump! This happens when people don't take a principled stance against opportunism - no one is safe! Yet, same Clinton "progressives" from 2016 say people must surrender democratic choice to Clinton & democrats in 2020 as only option! Not me
  • Let's not forget McCarthyism didn't start with McCarthy but with democrat Truman. If Clinton's views on FaceBook & her desire to impose ideological conformity are not totalitarian, nothing is. Remember - this Russia BS is a generalized democrat position.
  • Lawlessness! Five thousand working class youth are sitting ducks in Iraq because the gangster Trump regime refuses to respect Iraqi sovereignty & international law and withdraw those troops from the country after be asked to by the Iraqi government.
  • Adam Schiff is a warmongering psychopath along with most of the democrat party.
