I spoke to members of the National Education Association who want their union, the biggest in the US, to rescind its endorsement of Biden until he supports a ceasefire in Gaza and stops sending arms. "School-aged children are being killed by the thousands"

These Teachers Want the Largest Union in the Country to Rescind its Biden Endorsement Over Gaza

A rank-and-file campaign inside the National Education Association is demanding the president stop “sending military funding, equipment, and intelligence to Israel.”

It is mass fucking violence that democrats are not fighting for a version of sheltering in place where people know they'll have food to eat, housing, a way to survive, health care. Unsafe reopening is the worst option, but political leaders aren't fighting for any good ones.

I'm guessing this $10k and a first-class plane tickets for "all employees" does not apply to workers in Honduras and Thailand who actually manufacture Spanx goods.

Best Boss Ever? Spanx CEO Gives All Employees First-Class Plane Tickets and $10,000

Spanx founder Sara Blakely surprised her employees with plane tickets to anywhere in the world and $10,000 after a deal valued the company at $1.2 billion.

Samantha Power wrote an entire memoir about her time in the Obama admin & didn't once come clean about her role in the Yemen War. Her criticisms of that war have been self-serving & far too late & there's no reason to think she wouldn't commit similar misdeeds as Sec of State.

It is extremely unclear what the Biden admin's plan is for dealing with the Omicron surge, other than a bunch of scary-sounding warnings about staying safe as social programs expire and student loan payments restart. Is there a comprehensive plan? I'd sure like to know what it is

This deficit hawk rhetoric is pure right-wing ideology. They never ask how you will pay for it when you’re bombing other countries or locking people in prison. But when you say you don’t want people to die b/c they can’t afford healthcare, suddenly we’re counting pennies.

I wrote this because it's been frustrating to see article after article hail Warren as a progressive without taking a close look at her record on militarism. Our election discourse would have you believe the rest of the world doesn't matter--or even exist.

The invasion of Iraq was a wrongdoing of such vast proportions that if you played a big role in making it happen, that pretty much eclipses everything else you did in your career, as far as the moral legacy you are leaving behind.

This makes it urgent that Pfizer and Moderna be compelled to share their vaccine recipes and know-how right now. These are the only vaccines that can help stop Omicron infections, and there are at least 120 manufacturers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America that could make them.

Still thinking about Samantha Power’s endorsement of Biden & how free of political content it was, appealing to vague notions of “decency” & “inclusion.” None of these Obama admin officials—from Power to Biden—has had to truly reckon with the horrific wars they’ve waged & enabled

U.S. wars and interventions have always had a humanitarian pretext. It's dumfounding and enraging to see nearly the entire political class and "adversarial" media uncritically parrot the Trump admin's claims of humanitarian motives in Venezuela.

Things Biden has not done the entire year he's been in office but could do if he wanted: -Lift devastating Trump-era sanctions on Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. -End ALL support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen. -Take concrete, aggressive action at the WTO to pass a TRIPS waiver.

The CPD, which has a well-funded P.R. machine, is doxxing teenagers arrested at a protest, issuing "news releases" with mug shots and a "narrative" for what happened. Completely outrageous, after everything protesters have been through: the raised bridges, beatings, pepper spray.

Which part of his foreign policy legacy is "fluent"? His support for Israel’s targeted killings in the early 2000s? The invasion of Iraq in 2003? His backing of NATO's bombing of Libya? This line is just thrown in there but none of these things are deemed worthy of a mention.
