    It’s moments like this you should really question why CNN, why the US government and its proxy think tanks are so scared of what people like me and have to say. These entities really want to shut us up. Why? Because we say things like this

    Once again, on US intervention in Venezuela, Trump throws the dirt and shit out in the open. Why are so many Democratic politicians trying to look the other way?

    “CNN went digging for dirt on a Russia-backed viral video company, where journalist Rania Khalek works. When it could not find anything, it brought the company's pages to Facebook's attention. Facebook suspended the pages. Now CNN had a story.”-...

    I know that economic justice is scary for neocons like Jennifer Rubin & oligarchs like but & really have no chill. With 2 hit pieces within 24 hours, Jennifer hasn’t worked this hard since she was selling the Iraq War.

    There are actually a lot of viewpoints in this country beyond Generic Democrat, "Centrist," Moderate Republican, and Trump Supporter, but it's very rare for them to be granted even token representation in the political press, much less positions guiding political coverage.

    The majority of the US wants Medicare for All, affordable education, & the means to address climate change and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Many candidates in 2020 will promise these things. But these promises will not become a reality until we have this peace dividend.

    The most important of all domestic issues is peace. Because in order to fund the domestic programs that are so desperately needed, we need to end regime change wars, the new Cold War and the new nuclear arms race.

    The media will try to throw every awful thing they can at Sanders, but they will quickly realize that it won’t stop his momentum. When you have the kind of grassroots support he does, op Ed’s by elites at elite outlets won’t make a difference.

    . explains: I wasn't proposing an exact analogy between genocidal and colonial wars and the U.S. war in Afghanistan. I was just saying that endless war is a good thing, and threw in genocidal and colonial wars to illustrate how good it is.

    Bernie Sanders raised over 3 times as much as the establishment’s chosen favorite Kamala Harris did in the first 24 hours after she announced. It shows where the grassroots support is. It’s behind Sanders.
    Until now, Kamala Harris had raised the most in the first 24 hours of the campaign launch — $1.5 million. Bernie surpassed that easily.

    I like how all these centrist hacks are insisting that Bernie Sanders raising $6 million in a day means nothing. Lol lemme see you do it, and I mean raising it from regular ppl who donate a small amount, not from CEOs and lobbyists

    I support Bernie. It seems like such an easy choice. A pleasant one, in fact, and that surprises me. Never expected to feel affection for an American politician. He does & says the right thing over & over, & manages to keep his good nature despite all the filth thrown at him...

    Not surprisingly, the Venezuelan military is reacting like most military officers in the world would react when a foreign leader (in this case Trump) directly threatens their lives in public. Did Trump expect them to say, "Yes, sir, Mr. Trump, sir ! " ?
    | The Venezuelan armed forces have rejected calls by the US president to turn their backs on President , condemning Trump for promoting terrorism. …

    This spirit is a real force among registered Democrats, it just doesn't deserve to be called "pragmatism." It's a masochistic fealty to a crummy status quo and a pursed-up resentment of anyone with the ambition and vision to change it

    Translation: John Bolton wants to instigate violence at the Colombian and Brazilian borders to create a pretext for violence against Venezuela.
    Any actions by the Venezuelan military to condone or instigate violence against peaceful civilians at the Colombian and Brazilian borders will not be forgotten. Leaders still have time to make the right choice.

    In the last few days, I've seen Chris demonized by mainstream journalists as a "zombie," a vampire and a "demon." This is the same kind of incitement which led to the murder of Jo Cox.
    What a disgraceful thing to write about anyone. Least of all from a political journalist.
