Tweets of truth from Mike Gravel


  •  Pinned Tweet
    SESTA/FOSTA is making life more dangerous for sex workers and driving down wages. Mike Gravel is the only candidate who demands their repeal, and he supports the full decriminalization of sex work. Get him to the debates:

  • Joe Biden—a centrist, former segregationist, creep, liar, and fool—would be a disastrous Democratic nominee. We're going to get Gravel on the debate stage to say that to Jailin' Joe's face. We're VERY close to 65,000 donors: donate today to get us there.
  • Here's for the people: jails, not schools - a message all our (private prison) donors can get behind!
  • Fifty years after the Stonewall Uprising, the radicalism of those trans women, queer street kids, drag queens, and lesbians who physically fought back against the to defend their own humanity, should inspire us all to live as revolutionaries.
  • oof sorry there Michael Bennet. guess we would have been better off with a different Mike on that debate stage
  • Harris did well last night, but never touched on her record or platform - which are unacceptable: She was responsible for law enforcement abuses, doesn't support full M4A, and supported a policy that reported undocumented kids to ICE. Don't forget.

    Please give $1 tonight! I want him in the debates.

    Donate $1 tonight to so he can bring his anti-war, anti-imperialist message to ! If the last 2 nights of taught me anything, its that we need a on the stage in July, or I'm turning off the TV.
  • We want healthcare for everyone, except John Hickenlooper.
  • You could have replaced every minute given to Kirsten Gillibrand, John Hickenlooper, Michael Bennet, and Eric Swalwell with an air horn and it would have been more substantive.
  • There was nothing substantive on the debate stage about ending war. Aside from brief mentions, like Bernie on Yemen or Mayo Pete's bragging, nobody would say what needs to be said: We should just plain get out. We'll say it though:
  • Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson, two candidates who (whatever your disagreements with them are) are bringing new ideas to the debate stage, should have gotten more speaking time.
  • Sanders: Nothing's going to change unless we take on Wall Street and the military industrial complex. Biden: GoD bLeSs YoU aLl AnD mAy GoD bLeSs OuR tRoOpS
  • Somebody should probably drag Joe Biden's body off the stage.
  • Buttigieg says weapons of war have no place in our streets. We say weapons of war don't belong in Afghanistan or Iraq either.
  • ah yes, John Hickenlooper's collaborative approach to climate change has just been leaked and it is glorious.
  • "What's the one issue you'll focus on as president?" "Defeating Donald Trump." Joe Biden is an idiot.
  • Great to see Kamala bring up fire fighters and climate change. She neglects to mention that prisoners in California are forced to fight fires to earn $1.45 a day. Her thoughts as AG? It’s financially expedient.
  • Kamala ignores the efforts of President Moon Jae-In and the Korean people. She thinks we know better. Let's get the hell off the peninsula. They're no threat to us. Let's end the Korean War.
  • Worse than that, he actively moved forward segregationist causes and normalized their racist coded language.
  • Biden refuses to tell the truth, he bragged about working to turn Democrats away from civil rights and making it acceptable to scorn integration at the federal level. It's absolutely despicable that even now he won't acknowledge that.
  • We criticize Kamala, but her points about Biden's history of anti-busing activism is exactly on-point. She's doing great, and for Biden to blatantly lie about his record is embarrassing.
  • "Mr. Buttigieg, what's your greatest weakness?" "I am TOO accountable to my community"
  • If Pete Buttigieg's community is in "anguish," why is he going to Miami to debate and then do afterparties and fundraisers?
  • Remember when Great Public Intellectual Mayor Pete said “All Lives Matter” after it was revealed that a white cop in his town sold shirts making fun of Eric Garner’s death?
  • bonus
  • where the hell is Seth Moulton? have people gone to check on him? is he ok? we're getting worried
  • just gonna leave this here
  • ah we've found gillibrand's community based policies
  • Keep It Simple Stupid.
  • kamala, you're AGAINST locking children up? seems like a new stance
  • Biden continues his prevaricating, the dry-mouthed arrogant bastard. Speaking out both sides of his mouth, he promises everything while saying nothing.
