This is a lie. Protesters did not storm Iowa’s Capitol...they had a permit, they went through security, the building is open to the public. Per Des Moines Register, the one arrest was of a high school student an officer claimed “pushed my arm in an attempt to gain my attention."

Reviewing another attorney's contract with my client - $15,000 to apply for a U visa if paid in full. $17,500 if paid through a predatory lender the attorney recommends.
So, the attorney makes $2,500 more just because you're poor, not bc they're doing $2,500 more worth of work.

Singularity: Never was there a presidential initiative with the sole purpose of de-mobilizing a Left #movement.
Having watched #grapeboycott & #antiApartheid struggles, Clinton called in many chits to strangle the #antisweatshop rabble in their cradle.

Prince Philip to European aristocracy was what Donald Trump is to American "liberal democracy": an embarrassment—the men who flaunt the ugly truth from under the thin veneer of their bourgeois etiquette. aljazeera.com/opinions/2017/…

President Biden wants $715 billion for the Dept. of Defense, a 1.5% increase over last year. The already inflated Pentagon budget did nothing to protect us from a global pandemic, an economic recession, or the climate crisis. Increasing that budget now would be a grave mistake.

It’s been over 6 mo. since I unveiled dozens of CIA documents detailing U.S. germ warfare attacks in the Korean War. But not one mainstream author of Left or Right, not one progressive, “tankie,” or conservative has dared touch this material. Why? counterpunch.org/2021/04/09/…

It's horrible. Masahiro Tanaka declined to resign with the Yankees and returned to Japan to play baseball because of the abuse of his family.

Unlike the Chinook people on the south side of the Columbia River, those on the north never signed a treaty with the US government.
So in 1954, the US government simply terminated them as a “tribe” and all of their legal rights under US law. counterpunch.org/2021/04/09/…

The only Confederate flag worth displaying.
Today in 1865: Robert E. Lee surrenders his army to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. This linen dish towel was used as a flag of truce by Lee's troops: s.si.edu/2Q5xMaS

Hey @ggreenwald what do you actually know about Queens, Brooklyn, or DSA? We’ve elected a whole slate of pro-working class legislators and changed the NYS legislature. Do some reporting for a change.

A documentary about ocean survival that leaves out fossil fuels' impact, is a documentary that fails miserably. That's Seaspiracy in a nutshell. In case you missed my review of Netflix's hot new flick, I break it down. counterpunch.org/2021/04/02/…

Corporations are jumping on the ‘sustainability’ bandwagon by undermining traditional agriculture and genuine sustainable agrifood systems and packaging this corporate takeover of food as some kind of humanitarian endeavour. counterpunch.org/2021/04/08/…

The idea that making voting easier *won't* improve turnout is one of political science's worst takes. (And to be clear, many political scientists don't buy it.)
In this thread, I'll explain why. Buckle up.
The Georgia election law's restrictions on voting are unlikely to discernibly affect turnout or the result
