Bernie Sanders, a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Unfortunately Sanders is a darling of AIPAC. (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee) And when he isn’t telling constituents to shut up when they ask about Israel, he is openly supporting military genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine
Sanders is a Conservative Invested in the Corporate Bottom Line
“… the real record of the Vermont senator is no laughing matter. As a “critical” voice of support to U.S. imperialism, Sanders is an enemy of workers and the oppressed world-wide.”
During WW2, Iran welcomed thousands of Polish refugees.
We who care about freedom… are all Iranians today.
The (Union) struggle continues…
“Unions can’t fix every social problem, and ought not be expected to do so, but to win the loyalty and trust of working people, labor has to embrace and act on the principle that if it’s a social justice problem, it’s a labor issue.”

Jamycheal Mitchell: American Prison System Horrors
Something is wrong when a mentally ill man dies in jail – after being charged with stealing the princely sum of $5 worth of junk food – while awaiting space in a state treatment center.
The Fix is In… PDX Cops not required to obey the law.
PDX Police Bureau now dictates policy to PDX City Council and the Mayor is refusing to do his job as Police Commissioner

“Bernie has baggage. He supports a trillion dollar boondoggle, the F-35 fighter/bomber, which cannot even match the performance of the previous bomber costing 80% less. (The definition of profiteering.) He is also supportive of drone strikes which are known to kill an average of fifty innocents per strike. He condones illegal settlement-building and attacks on Gaza by the IDF.”

Cops Refuse to Stop Chase: Multiple Children Killed during Pursuit
“[The police] were right on their rear, the police car bumped their tail a little bit, and the car flew up in the air,” the friend said. “There was no need for the police to be that close. I yelled ‘WATCH OUT’ but it was too late. When the car hit them, both of them just looked at me. They screamed. It just keeps re-playing in my head. … I ran down there, I yelled out their names, but they were gone. Makiah’s eyes were wide open, they died on impact.”
