TJ Sabula, my constituent & a UAW worker, has been suspended after Trump flipped HIM off and said "F*ck you" to him.
This is unacceptable. NEVER believe MAGA when they cry about the 1st amendment.

AIPAC insists that they're just a group whose sole mission is to strengthen US-Israel relations.
Yet their whole social media feed for days is about nothing other than pushing demands for the US to bring down the government of Iran.
Is that related to their mission?

The US and UK Governments care very deeply about liberating the oppressed peoples of the world from their repression, and gifting them freedom and democracy.

This happens often. The US uses its singular financial power to impose suffocating sanctions on the countries they claim they're trying to help -- in Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
Then the US points to the resulting economic suffering as proof that the governments are bad.

Polls are already showing Americans don't.
