Excellent piece. I've already decided that I cannot in good conscience vote for a man who would facilitate the mass murder of thousands of children. I never thought I wouldn't be voting for Biden in November; but he has shown his true colors, and does not deserve to lead a nation that is supposed to stand for human rights, self-determination, and freedom. He has brought shame on all Americans.
I agree. Every bomb Biden (without consent of Congress) has supplied to the IDF that is dropped on innocents in Gaza brings shame upon us all. If it were possible, he should be tried as a war criminal at the ICC, but we all know that the MIC will never allow that. We'll have to settle for dragging his name through the mud for all eternity instead.
You're welcome! American mainstream media didn't say a word about this massive protest--wonder why? I guess it didn't fit in with the pro-Zionist narrative the White House is pushing. But with a crowd of 400,000+ people are slowly hearing about it and are learning more about what it was about and who all were there. I provided a link to the livestream broadcast of it if you want to watch any parts or all of it. It really was like you were there (without the cold winds!) at the rally and march.
Thank you for your kind words. Jill announced her candidacy in early November, but of course, the mainstream media hasn't made much mention of her. Even with their censoring mentions of her in social media, she's doing great in the polls, particularly with young voters, people of color, and those who support an end to the genocide in Gaza. You can learn more about her campaign at https://www.jillstein2024.com
Yeah, I easily found (it) this morning. As much as I read and (try) to stay up with everything, I couldn't believe I'd not heard nor seen ANYTHING about her candidacy. Wow.
Wow... Jill's campaign has been advertising mostly on social media sites like X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and the like so far. She's been interviewed on a number of leftist podcasts and even a couple of more mainstream podcasts. But for folks who rely on mainstream media outlets, it seems they're censoring any mention of her. The establishment is deathly afraid of her apparently.
That's weird. I view things daily from Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Chris Hedges, Jimmy Dore and others, as well as a couple of MSM outlets. Below is an email I got a couple of days ago from Gavin Newsom. I've never had any contact with this guy or know little about him except he's from Cali. (A mayor or Gov.?) Needless to say, I fired back a not-so-nice reply. He got my email from ActBlue from when I donated to Bernie back in 2015, I'm guessing...
Hi there.
A short while ago, Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucus. He is now one step closer to becoming the Republican nominee and having a chance to return to the White House.
Terrifying.
That is why I am asking you to make a $3 donation DIRECTLY to the Democratic National Committee today. If that's all you need to hear, use this link to donate:
I want you to think about the way you felt the morning after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016? Do you remember it?
Now think about the relief you felt when it was clear Joe Biden won in 2020.
We all have a role to play in making sure we are feeling that relief once again. And a fully-funded Democratic National Committee is esssential for victory in 2024.
So please:
$3 because the DNC does important work, including critical ad campaigns, to defeat Trump.
$3 because the DNC can divert resources to state parties who need it to help keep Trump from winning again.
$3 because we simply cannot let Donald Trump return to the White House.
Can I count on you to use this link to contribute $3 directly to the Democratic National Committee right now? This is a huge moment for them and it will all add up fast when we're all chipping-in.
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:
Bernie Sanders sold our email and other contact info to the DNC, so no matter how many times you try to unsubscribe to their emails, they just go back to Bernie's list and put you back on. It's the ultimate betrayal, IMO.
The powers that be will try to shut us up and shut us down, but we are unstoppable, We the People have the power! Let's continue encouraging each other to stand strong, never forgetting our suffering neighbors in Palestine. #freepalestine
Amen! Never forget our neighbors in Palestine. One day, they might have to come to our aid in a time of need. Making friends and treating everyone with compassion and respect is a wise and good thing to do.
Wonderful summaries, here is to justice! I attend weekly vigils and marches for Palestine in Scotland. It is unbelievable that the pro-genocide rulers in the UK, US and Israel still continue.
Thank you, Karl, for your diligence in attending those weekly vigils and marches for Palestine. It is almost surreal to think any half-way intelligent politician could back such a blatant genocide, but that's how powerful the military-industry complex and Big Oil and the lobbyists for AIPAC are. They just bribe and pay off our rulers' consciences. It's time we kick them out and get more moral leaders and shut down the war machine forever, isn't it? Power to the people!
Power to the people, absolutely! I'd hate to be a politician (well, I'm a Community Councillor) but maybe we justice-centred people need to begin standing against the evil fuckwits.
Exactly. They bought-and-paid-for-by-the-billionaires politicians have scared off a lot of great candidates, but we need to encourage justice-centered folks like yourself to run for office. There's way more of us (the 99%) than there are of them anyway. We shall prevail!

Yes, exactly. A lifetime in the Senate, and at least one term as President; but his legacy will be facilitating mass murder and ethnic cleansing.
Thank you for this - I had no idea there was a protest in washington, never mind this BIG!

Firstly, I didn't know Jill was running again! So thanks for that. And thank you for the great post. Lots of good stuff here!
