Bizarro world: the War on Syria

CIA-backed Islamic rebels were fighting against 
Pentagon-backed Kurdish rebels in Syria.

Oligarchy is not working…

“…in really scary societies all public conversation is an exercise in using words to mean their opposites —”

Sexual Predator in the White House

“…By the end of October, twenty women had gone on the record to describe Trump’s sexual misconduct.”

Truth is…

“All of us are more than fed up with mediocrity, hypocrisy, lesser-evil, trickle-down, less-than-perfect settling for spending trillions and killing millions for munitions firms and billionaires who pay no taxes and steal what we pay.

American Cops: Armed & Dangerous

Jamar Clark, 11/15/15 Minneapolis, MN:

Two Minneapolis police officers shot Clark, claiming he “interfered” with emergency responders helping an assault victim. Activists and witnesses maintain that Clark was unarmed and handcuffed when he was shot.

No officers have been charged with a crime for killing Jamar.

“At home, militarized police departments allow officers to kill unarmed citizens at will with zero accountability. And our leaders export aggression overseas with illegal drones known to kill an average of 50 innocents per strike.”

Power to the People: A Green New Deal

“Establish a foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights. End the wars and drone attacks, cut military spending by at least 50% and close the 800+ foreign military bases that are turning our republic into a bankrupt empire. “

War is good for nothin’!

“The minute we stand up, we are unstoppable. It’s time to forget the lesser evil and fight for the greater good.”…

Bernie’s “dream” is a Nightmare

We have expanded the American empire and Bernie intends for this expansion to continue.

But this “imperial” expansion of empire contradicts Sanders’ most passionate populist rhetoric.

We can win in November 2020

A coalition is building: 31 million Americans who want health care, 40 million Americans who want their student debt erased. 70 million students in secondary school and college who want the opportunity for free K-16 education. 5 million Americans who lost their homes to banks. 3 million Americans used and abused in corporate wars of choice. And 80% of Americans who are in debt and tired of seeing banks bailed out and Main Street sold out.

Best plan for America: A Green New Deal

“Establish a foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights.”

At Night I Hear Victims Shouting
