    Here's the official Mike Gravel 2020 Campaign Launch Ad - "Rock 2.0" Join the to push American politics to the left and speak truth to power, send Mike $1 to get him on the debate stage: .
  • The Gravel Campaign stands in solidarity with the (and it’s 15 workers) in their struggle to stay open for the community! This co-op has serviced community for 44 long years. Let them implement their viability plan ! Food for people, not for profit!
  • Trump's plan to pardon war criminals like Eddie Gallagher - who brutally stabbed an Iraqi boy to death - exposes the criminal enterprise at the heart of our imperial project. Murder an American and you'll spend the rest of your life in prison. Murder an Iraqi and you're free.
  • not a lot of "collective laughter" in Iraq rn
  • Who can wait for President Joe Biden’s shock that Mitch McConnell in fact has no desire to “unify”
  • The lie you will hear ad nauseum is that socialist states failed spontaneously - in reality it was the concerted effort of the US Imperial Machine to crush any nation that could oppose them any time it appeared, it's why Cuba is still the cartoon villain decades on.
  • how many Latin American socialists do we have to kill for you to realize that socialism doesn't work?

  • It has always been the centrists of the Democratic Party who've opposed people's right to bodily autonomy—from John Bel Edwards to Lipinski to Stupak. Don't let any centrist regurgitate turgid arguments about "class reductionism." Leftists are the champions of abortion rights.
  • Our English is corrupt because what we do around the world is corrupt. We say "surgical strikes" (bombings) and "targeted killings" (assassinations). We do everything we can not to see the bloodshed we cause. We help kill by adopting the very nomenclature of war hawks.
  • if only there existed a part of Pete Buttigieg's personality that wasn't "my IQ is above the 95th percentile"
  • It's not just Bolton, Pompeo, and Trump botching peace talks with North Korea; Pelosi, Schumer, and many Democrats have historically fallen in line with the military-industrial complex to actively undermine all of Moon Jae-In's efforts to reunite a divided Korea.
  • Sen. Gravel on the next steps with the Korean peninsula:
  • Republicans were racist before Trump, and they’ll be racist after Trump. Trump is nothing but a symptom of a deep sickness in this country, the same one that gave us David Duke — a sickness that won’t be excised by a fellow racist like Joe Biden.

  • An excellent story from interviewing Sen. Gravel himself. Read for a few excellent dunks on the centrists!

    You're only running a credible campaign if you're willing to attack the frontrunner - and that's why is more legitimate than all of the candidates who won't.

  • People have a right to high-quality healthcare. Thus people—as should be obvious—have a right to abortion.
  • damn gotta love the new centrist consensus on the climate crisis: get hyped for Green Imperialism!
  • Pay attention, the groundwork for war with Iran is being laid down day by day. This is how consent is manufactured, by constantly referring to an Iranian first strike without ever saying what that would mean, to ready Americans to pull the trigger.
