DC Statehood is a matter of racial equity. 45% of DC’s 712,000 residents are black, but they do not have voting representation in Congress. Overwhelmingly white Vermont and Wyoming have 2 senators each, with smaller populations than D.C. Pass HR51 NOW!

At House Oversight hearing on DC statehood today, Republican Cong. Comer says the call for representation for over 700,000 residents of the nation’s capitol is part of a “radical leftist agenda.”

Wow. This is a POWERFUL story about how the people of Myanmar are fighting the military with a vast economic shutdown. What a profound example of nonviolence civil disobedience.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/19/world/asia/myanmar-workers-strike.html?smid=tw-share …

Anyone can give me the name of one person (just one, not more) who has publicly criticised MBS with their real identity, inside of the country, and is still free/alive ?

Criticism of China is so hypocritical, especially since China has not routinely used bombings and drone strikes as tools of foreign policy, or established military bases around the world, all of which Americans accept as our natural right.https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/atlanta-shooting-political-rhetoric-violence/2021/03/19/f882f8e8-88b9-11eb-8a8b-5cf82c3dffe4_story.html …

Let’s not blame all the anti-Asia hate on Trump. While former president Obama and President Biden have denounced anti-Asian violence, they have also spent their careers embracing critical takes on China that probably helped accelerate this violence.https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/atlanta-shooting-political-rhetoric-violence/2021/03/19/f882f8e8-88b9-11eb-8a8b-5cf82c3dffe4_story.html …

What a joke, coming from the State Department! If anyone in the US Government REALLY cared about Iran and Iranians, they would be doing everything they could to lift sanctions and rejoin the JCPOA.https://twitter.com/StateDept/status/1373258045279588358 …

Lol. Admiral James Stavridis
@stavridisj on@FareedZakaria asserts that the US will not allow China to control the South China Sea—i.e. the US should control the South China Sea, and every other sea. And don’t forget space. That’s ours, too.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Critical column by
@FareedZakaria: "Welcome to the new age of bloated Pentagon budgets, all to be justified by the great Chinese threat."

Pissing off the governments of China AND Russia in one week is NOT the kind of diplomacy we want from the Biden administraiton.

Much love to the people of Iraq, whose lives were upended and destroyed by the horrific US invasion of their country 18 years ago. “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people,” as Howard Zinn said.pic.twitter.com/GYPedqrDiD

Killing by drones from thousands of miles away has just become even easier! Thanks to General Atomics, you can now press the killer button from a laptop instead of a clunky control station…https://www.ga-asi.com/army-uses-ga-asi-sc2-to-control-gray-eagle-extended-range-uas …

Unfortunately, there are MANY heads of states who could be called KILLERS, like Biden called Putin, but does that help build diplomatic relations? The deterioration of relations with Russia and China only helps those who profit from weapons sales.

A new poll shows 45 percent of Americans named China as the top threat, more than twice as many as a year earlier. This revs up the Cold War (and Pentagon budget) and increases hate crimes at home. We need top US officials to say: CHINA IS NOT OUR ENEMY.https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/biden-china-asian-american-racism/2021/03/17/69eb4bc6-873d-11eb-82bc-e58213caa38e_story.html …

Why Britain has been colonizing
#ChagosIslands? To make room for a U.S. military base! You may again ask why? Well...Because the U.S. wants to bomb countries whenever wishes and that looks like a convenient place to operate from!
