I’m running for Congress as an independent, revolutionary socialist against genocidal, billionaire-backed Democrat Adam Smith. Smith has voted to send tens of billions of dollars for Israel's genocide in Gaza, and voted repeatedly to ban U.S. funds for United Nations' food aid

Apologists making excuses for Jasmine Crockett, @JasmineForUS, or talking about her supposed "star power" are playing a smoke-and-mirrors game with her record. Crockett's record is clear. As @anthonyzenkus notes, Crockett voted to ban U.S. funding for United Nations food

Jasmine Crocket voted to defund UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), the only agency set up to distribute food and medical supplies throughout Gaza. An indeterminate number of Palestinian adults and children have died as a result of that racist and Islamophobic vote.

@cmkshama Working people have nothing to gain from supporting the two parties of war and genocide. All working people must cut ties with these parties, and we must fight to for our labor unions to do the same.

The Vietnam war was ended when the working class got organized. We have the power to do the same not only for Gaza, but for everywhere imperialism rears its ugly head. We’ll need to break from both parties of war and genocide, as well as the plethora of other misleaders, to do so

Two days ago, the U.S. House voted for the annual military funding bill. It is a horrific nearly trillion dollars for more weapons and bloodshed. My opponent Democrat Adam Smith has been a cheerleader for this bill. Democrats like him are proud of their bipartisan agreement

@cmkshama The U.S. military is also the largest polluter on earth. The climate movement and anti-war movements can not be separated from each other if we want to win anything, and neither can be divorced from an anti-capitalist movement either.

I ran into Hillary Clinton at the Doha Forum and asked about her recent claim that young people oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza because they do “not know history” and are duped by “pure propaganda” on social media. She declined to answer.

Jasmine Crockett says it would be "the scariest thing" for the US to stop sending money and weapons to Israel. Apparently genocide isn't as scary to her. It's clear - Democrats just want to be known as the genocide party.

But at least Jasmine Crockett must be progressive, right? Here she says it would be "one of the scariest things" to stop giving taxpayer funding to Israel because we don't like Netanyahu, that would endanger the 75-year "allyship" between our countries. #TXSEN

Jasmine Crocket is LYING when she says she doesn't take money from AIPAC. When she entered Congress, she took an all- expense paid trip to Israel and met with IDF forces, all paid for by AIPAC. Accepting free trips (or in-kind contributions) IS taking money from AIPAC. Jasmine
