    We blundered by overthrowing Mossadegh in 53. We blundered by supporting the Shah for 25 years. We blundered by arming Saddam to fight Iran. Obama tried to end the madness. Lets be clear: If Trump tosses the Iran deal, he is saying no to the prospect for peace in the Middle East.

    Need reform. Allow DTS voters to become Democrats up to Election Day. NY & Illinois are the worst. No superdelegate votes on the 1st ballot. Only 30 House Dems support the unity commission recs. We need 150 more! Pls RT and talk to your member.

    If you are wondering why Congress has the same turnover rate as European monarchies, look at our unfairly drawn electoral districts. Gerrymandering protects incumbents and benefits whichever party is in power.

    ➡️Two African American men waiting in a Starbucks. ➡️African American women playing on a golf course. ➡️Two Native American brothers on a campus tour. These aren't incidents where the police should be called. We still have much work to do about systemic racism in America

    It’s irresponsible enough that we are moving our embassy to Jerusalem. But even the staunchest pro Israel supporters concede it is foolhardy to do so the day before Nakba. We are adding salt to an open wound. Anyone who seeks to avoid bloodshed should urge delay in the move.

    There is a large, well-armed fascist movement growing in Ukraine and the mainstream media has been completely silent. Silence is complicity. We must speak out and take steps to stop the resurgence of anti-semitism and Holocaust denial in both Ukraine and Poland.

    Trump's claim that “Iran’s bloody ambitions have grown only more brazen,” is simply not factual. Leaving the will make nuclear war more likely.

    Trump’s decision to replace diplomacy with more sanctions will only increase tensions and lead to more violence in the Middle East.

    Republicans in Iowa have just passed a six-week abortion ban. This is just one more example of the GOP trying to take away a women’s right to control her own body. We’ve come way too far on reproductive rights to go back to the days before Roe vs. Wade.

    Corporate tax breaks don’t lead to more investment and jobs. To create real economic growth, we need public investment in the workers who’ve faced decades of stagnant wages and the communities which have been left behind.

    Why are there Green Berets on-the-ground working directly with Saudi Arabia at the Yemen border? Acknowledging that our involvement in this conflict is unauthorized doesn’t go far enough. We must take a real stand and stop supporting Saudi war crimes.

    I stand in solidarity with the service workers, nurses, and technical staff at the University of California who are going on strike this week. Every employee deserves equal pay for equal work.

    These pay disparities are a major reason why workers at the University of California are on strike this week. As the largest employer in California, the University must make sure that every worker is paid fairly regardless of their gender or race.
