Through AIPAC, Israel is controlling U.S. politics.
Our votes are irrelevant.
Their money runs the show.
Explain to me again how the United States is a democracy.
My wife and I left graduate school 23 years ago with a combined total of $70,000 debt.
Since then we've made $500 monthly payments for 23 years ($120,000+).
Today, we still owe $60,000.
Explain to me again why student loan debt shouldn't be cancelled.

@RashidaTlaib
with Islamophobic slurs, know that our support for the representatives only grows stronger each day.
The time of the white nationalist is over.
As a white guy living in West Virginia I am applaud at the level of ignorance shown nationwide when folks puke up "all lives matter."
They are completely missing the point.

Number of Iranian military bases near U.S. . . . 0.
Number of U.S. bases near Iran . . . 35.
Explain to me again how Iran is a threat to the United States.
What do you call a nation that gives $3,800,000,000 annually to Israel, squanders $880,000,000,000 on its "defense" budget + sends over $100,000,000,000 to Ukraine, while simultaneously denying its own citizens universal healthcare?
A failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
China has 5 military bases around the world.
Russia has 36 military bases around the world.
The U.S. has 850+ military bases around the world.
Explain to me again how China and Russia are a threat to the United States.
In the U.S. numbers are horrendous and getting worse.
Millions are acting as if the virus doesn't exist.
It will get much worse.
So yeah,

Russia is not our enemy, nor are China, Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea.
Our enemy is right here in the United States: The 1%, corporate America and the politicians they own and control.
#BuyNothingDay
because most of what we buy comes on container ships from far away . . .
The 15 largest container ships spew out as much pollution as all of the cars on the planet
And there are 5,000 container ships on the seas today
We are literally shopping ourselves to death
Russia is not our enemy, nor are China, Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea.
Our enemy is right here in the United States: The 1%, corporate America and the politicians they own and completely control.
What do you call a nation that sends $100,000,000,000 to Ukraine, while simultaneously allowing 1 in 6 of its children to live in poverty and 50% of them to live in abject poverty?
A failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
Biden is asking for a $813,000,000,000 "defense" budget.
1 in 6 children in the United States live in poverty.
50% of them live in extreme poverty.
Explain to me again how the U.S. is not a failed state.
#ComplimentAPolitician
Thank you
@IlhanMN
for helping to lead the fight against Islamophobia in this nation.
Despite the best efforts of the current president, we will show that love and acceptance will always win over hatred and prejudice.
What do you call a nation that sends $33,000,000,000 to Ukraine, while simultaneously allowing 650,000 of its own citizens to sleep on the streets every night?
A failed state.
Maternity leave in Norway: Parents can choose between receiving 100% of their salary for 49 weeks or 80% of their salary for 59 weeks.
Maternity leave in the United States: Fuck you for having a child.
Anyone else noticing that the
#CoronavirusPandemic
and economic recession are highlighting the fact that they (1%) need us (99%) much more than we need them.
Perhaps when this is all over we can remember that fact and act on it.
Better still. Let's act on it now.
#GeneralStrike
What do you call a nation that gives $3,800,000,000 annually to Israel, squanders $880,000,000,000 on its defense budget and sends $100,000,000,000+ to Ukraine, while also allowing 650,000+ of its citizens to sleep on the streets?
A failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
#WhatTheHellIsTheWorldComingTo
when we will spend $1.4 trillion on "defense" between 2020-2022, while watching people sleep on the streets, folks dying from lack of healthcare access, and the environment being destroyed.

What do you call a nation that squanders $825,000,000,000 on "defense," while simultaneously allowing 1 in 6 of its children to live in poverty, 60%+ of its citizens to live paycheck to paycheck, and 650,000+ to sleep on the streets?
A failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
What do you call a nation that sends over $100,000,000,000 to Ukraine, while simultaneously ignoring the plight of its own unemployed, underemployed, working poor, homeless, incarcerated, elderly, disenfranchised, and most destitute?
A failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
A nation that sends $54,000,000,000 to Ukraine while simultaneously allowing 1 in 6 of its children to live in poverty, 550,000 of its citizens to sleep on the streets each night, and fails to provide universal healthcare, is a failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
My wife and I finished graduate school in 2001 with $70,000 debt combined. Since then, we've made $50,000 in payments. Today, we are left with $70,000 of student debt. That's a fucked system.
#CancelStudentDebt
After almost 30 years teaching in the U.S., I'm convinced that what passes for education is nothing more than nationalist indoctrination into a life of unquestioning obedience to capitalism, consumerism, militarism, and buying into the fantasy that we live in a democracy.
The 51st anniversary of the Kent State massacre is an appropriate time to remember that innocent protesters have been slaughtered in the United States for many years.

A failed state.
Biden will send $53,000,000,000 to Ukraine and wants a $813,000,000,000 "defense" budget.
Meanwhile . . . 1 in 6 children live in poverty, 650,000 sleep on the streets each night and we don't have universal healthcare.
Explain to me again how the U.S. is not a failed state.

#DropOutBernie
folks . . .
Wanted us to go out and vote during a pandemic.
Support a racist sexist lying warmongering corporatist.
Don't understand that Bernie supporters are a movement.
Even if Bernie does eventually drop out, the political revolution will continue.
If Trump wins in 2024 we get more fascism.
If Biden wins in 2024 we get more fascism.
As usual corporate America and the 1% win, and the rest of us lose.
Explain to me again how the United States is a democracy.
The huge mistake people make over the Senate Impeachment Trial is to believe that Republican senators have consciences.
They don't.
They care about power and their own reelections. That should be 100% obvious by now.
#VoteThemOut2020
A vote for Dems in 2024 is a vote for a pro-genocide party.
A vote for Reps in 2024 is a vote for a pro-genocide party.
In 2024 vote anti-genocide (
@GreenPartyUS
or
@CornelWest
or stay home or start a revolution). Just don't vote for the duopoly.
Joe Biden is asking for a "defense" budget of $813 billion.
That could end homelessness in the U.S. 40 times over.
That is beyond obscene.
That is a failed state.
After almost 30 years teaching in America . . .
U.S. schools are nothing more than indoctrination centers for capitalism, militarism, nationalism, and consumerism.
They are the exact opposite of what education should be all about.
What do you call a nation that will squander $842,000,000,000 on "defense" next year, while simultaneously allowing 650,000+ of its citizens to sleep on the streets every night?
A failed state.
The U.S. is a failed state.
The 21st anniversary of the invasion of Iraq is an appropriate time to remember that in a sane world Blair and Bush would be rotting in prison cells in The Hague for their crimes against humanity.
Number of Chinese military bases near the United States . . . 0.
Number of U.S. military bases near China . . . 37.
