the Carter Center is funded by the same country that is trying to destabilize Venezuela which includes USAID—a notorious CIA cutout that used so-called “humanitarian flights” to send weapons to the far-right Contra death squads in Nicaragua in the 1980s. People’s racism is showing.

Trump’s military aggression towards Venezuela is a modern-day foreign policy first created in 1823— the Monroe Doctrine. The White House aims to overthrow the Venezuelan government to steal its oil. We must resist Trump’s war at home & abroad.

the Trump administration has sanctioned the Russian government more than any other admin. US imperialism doesn’t have any friends.
He doesn’t want to go to war with russia as he adores putin, but he wants to split the world into ownership by the US, russia and china. I’d read about it a while ago and it makes sense. He likes Xi too. Not saying he couldn’t change his mind, but he puts russia above the US already.

idk how one can see the destruction of Gaza +West Bank & think that a two-state solution is viable. Plus, Israeli officials are on record as saying they don’t want a 🇵🇸 state. Sanders himself said he doesn't support a one state where everyone has equal rights. How do u say NO to equal rights for all?

Sanders couldn't call a genocide a genocide for nearly 2 years, while the world watched Palestinian children being shredded to pieces. Sanders also doesn't support a one-state solution where everyone has equal rights. J Street is no different. J Street does not call for an end to the occupation.
JStreet gave $15 million in the 2024 election cycle. If contributions and endorsements from JStreet are toxic, why do folks like Rep. Ro Khanna and Senator Bernie Sanders seek JStreet endorsement?
