By giving aerial support to Saudi Arabia’s genocidal war against Yemen U.S. policy makes this worse. “Sometimes you can have strategic partnerships with people who do not share your values.”- Mike Pompeo. No Mr. Secretary, it just means you have no values amp.theguardian.com/global-d…

Right wing judges on the Supreme Court are not just trying to protect Trump; they’re trying to protect a notion of America’s identity as a mainly white country. This doesn’t serve anyone, including white people. Our multi-ethnic identity is our brilliance, not our weakness.

Hugely important. My podcast with Donziger & Amazon Watch’s assoc. director Paul Paz y Miño will post this Friday. #FreeStevenDonziger
Chris Hedges, Danny Glover, Sting and others will hold an event Thursday in support of the human rights attorney Steven Donziger who won a $ 9.5 billion settlement against Chevron in Ecuador and is under fierce attack from the oil giant.

Pennsylvanians, it’s very important that you either drop off your ballot or vote in person! Don’t be lulled by today’s ruling. They could still discount your vote later if you mail it. Unbelievable: we have to protect ourselves against our own govt’s efforts to suppress the vote.
Important info for PA voters:
-SCOTUS refused to overturn PA Supreme Court ruling that ballots sent by Election Day could be received 3 days after
-But SCOTUS could still invalidate those ballots after election
-So if you requested mail ballot, drop it off to make sure counted

We should tolerate neither the way military solutions have replaced diplomatic efforts too often in American foreign policy, nor the militarization of police forces here at home. Soul force rather than brute force should be our primary problem-solving option.

No, I’ll tell you what’s evil. Evil is lying about people. Evil is saying people said things that in fact they never said or believed.

I read the book and thought it was really good. He didn’t claim that he was there as a mole; he. admitted he was one of them. People need to listen to the lyrics of “Amazing Grace” sometime.

Because we care about social justice and we have paid a terrible price historically whenever authoritarian leaders gain power.

(I corrected a deleted tweet. Thank you for the advice from so many. One veteran wrote of how police training started changing in the 90s. Please re-post. I know I should’ve left the other one up. Just learning…)
