Another "Bernie Bro" with a vagina. Anti-Zionist, Jewish mathematician. NOT a Democrat. We got Trump because Obama *chose* not to deliver. Lover of our planet and of all life. No war but class war. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Such a disappointing response from you, Bernie. What the US needs to do is join forces, both political & military, with the ROTW and ENSURE the release of ALL the detainees. In the process, the entirety of the Israeli Government will have to be arrested, of course, but that'll only benefit humanity.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 5d

Children are starving in Gaza because of Israeli government policies. Hundreds of people from around the world organized a civilian flotilla to try to deliver food. Israel arrested them.

The United States must demand the immediate release of all detained Americans.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Day 9 of the Republican government shutdown.

Instead of negotiating to reopen the government, Republicans would rather raise healthcare costs and kick millions of Americans off their coverage.

Unacceptable.

It’s amazing to be back at FAIR School Crystal to visit their new community schoolyard!

Last year, I got to see the designs the students presented for the schoolyard and it’s incredible to see their vision come to life today.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, and every month, I'm grateful to have the partnership of such strong, dedicated Latine leaders in the Fifth District.

Our office wanted to highlight a few leaders working to create a brighter future for Minnesotans.

Well that's some wildly depressing information that was not in AP's write-up

"I totally support his strategy, and I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary."

Nobel Peace Prize winner hailed Trump as ‘visionary’ just days before her victory

Maria Corina Machado was given the award for promoting democracy in Venezuela and says that the US president is the country’s best chance for regime change

Honestly it was like

This just in: The prize went to a democracy activist, not the guy murdering random people in the Caribbean Sea

[Touches earpiece]

The democracy activist says they're glad the guy murdered random people in the Caribbean Sea. Now they're dedicating the prize to the murder guy.

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Real patriotism isn’t about bashing migrants or minorities. It’s about caring enough to ensure nobody is homeless, hungry or left behind.

Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.

The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.

This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.

It’s so funny listening to these Bulwark whites talk about antifa as both good and “black bloc… agitators” (because he conflated anti-fascists with black bloc anarchists) like some spooky force at “riots” (protests). These dudes will abandon the cause as soon as they can.

I love some cheeky city rivalries as much as the next, but I love even more how people from all cities are showing love for Chicago, Portland, LA, DC and wherever else is being occupied by the goons and gestapos. I hope we keep the solidarity going even after this all ends. 🌆💕🏙️
