RIP the great Mike Gravel. If more of our politicians were like him we’d be an extraordinarily better country. His was a life well lived and a model of integrity for all of us to follow. Thank you and God bless you, Mike. 🙏🏻

His legacy for braving criticizing the US's increasingly greed-driven interventionist war campaigns, in the midst of excessive nationalism, will continue to live on. We need more Mike Gravels representatives in our democracy.

He had balls, he had guts, he had heart! ❤ Hoping future generations will be inspired by and emulate him in the future!
Rest in power, Mike Gravel. You were truly a legend, an underrated Man of the People. I would've loved to have seen you as POTUS. I hope you are at peace now. Rest forever in the legacy of inspiration you have left behind for future generations! #MikeGravel #BLM #pride

Yes. Imagine how much better our lives would have been had we ran Mike Gravel and not Obama and Biden, those droppers of drone bombs, deporters of immigrants, and lackies to Wall St.
