Tulsi Gabbard's Homophobic Record
Salam Morcos recently offered a defense of Tulsi Gabbard, a member of Congress from Hawaii who is seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Gabbard gained a name for herself in progressive circles in 2016 when, bucking the majority of the Democratic Party, she endorsed Bernie Sanders’s candidacy, and resigned her seat at the DNC to do so. She generally opposes the most egregious displays of U.S. militarism and is a reliable vote on left domestic priorities.
Open Letter to Corbyn: How to Solve the Brexit Dilemma
PA/Stefan Rousseau Dear Jeremy Corbyn, The UK is fewer than 80 days away from crashing out of the European Union without a negotiated deal. The impacts of a no-deal Brexit scenario are catastrophic – the UK would be destined for a lengthy recession, the GDP would shrink by 7.7 percent in 15 years, goods and food supply would be disrupted and trucks could face six-day queues into Dover.
Ethical Jews Reject Zionism
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s extreme right-wing government has abandoned any façade of democracy and liberalism and is effectively exposing Zionism as a racist and nationalistic project rooted in white supremacy, settler colonialism, and 19th-century European fascism. This has led to a profound crisis for Israel, which seeks to conflate Zionist interests with Jewish interests and values and is dependent on its links to American Jews who are predominantly liberal.
The Dismantling of Palestine
As we watch the most recent events unfolding in the Middle East, we watch the dismantling of Palestine. We are looking at a battle of biblical proportions and that is due to the fact that religion has been used as a keystone of the perception built around what is happening. Ezekiel 38 (KJV) has been one of the passages from the Bible used as a reason for the unrest in the area.
Exclusive: Resistance Grift - How Scott Dworkin Turned the Resistance into a Personal Payday
When Donald Trump took office in 2017 many people feared the worst. During his campaign, he promised to build a wall to keep out immigrants, discussed creating religious registries, and was recorded making claims of sexual assault on women. A large group of the American population worried that their rights would diminish during a Trump Presidency. As a reaction to the fears stirred up by Trump in the White House, the Democratic Party responded with the Resistance.

The Trump-Russia Link That Doesn’t Exist by @msainat1 @SubvertingPower & @SalamMorcos
On Friday, ThinkProgress published an article authored by Rebekah Entralgo claiming that there is “growing public evidence of collusion with Russia.” The article cites what it claims to be “connections” that link President Trump with Russian hackers. There’s one problem: It’s fake news, and we have evidence.

Castile did everything right, yet he was tacitly presumed to be a criminal for having a “wide nose,” and looking like a suspect.
What You Need To Know About The TPP In 10 Minutes
On February 4, 2016, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement was signed by each of 12 participating countries. This 6000-page monstrosity of intentionally inaccessible doublespeak is set to impact over 800 million people and 40% of the world’s GDP upon ratification. Created over 7 years in legally mandated secrecy it is the brainchild of government representatives from each involved country and more than 600 corporate lobbyists.
What's So Democratic About the Democratic Party? by @SalamMorcos
The Democratic Party, the oldest active party in the World, prides itself as the party that upholds democratic values, equality, and fairness. Democrats believe that “this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.”While these values are certainly admirable and worth pursuing, the Democratic National Committee has shown no signs of adhering to the ideals it claims to believe in.

Democrats Need to Stop Celebrating and Demand #SinglePayer Now by @danarel
It was a celebration among liberals around the US as House Majority Leader Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump announced that their Affordable Care Act replacement was a failure and would not even be voted on in the House. It’s a celebration that must end almost as quickly as it started because there is still much work to do.A recent poll suggests that most Americans, including many Republicans, favor a single-payer system.

Ten Explosive Leaked Podesta Emails
WikiLeaks has released over 5,000 emails that belong to Hillary Clinton’s campaign Chairman John Podesta and vowed to release more emails in the coming days.
Thanks to Tim Kaine: I Endorse Jill Stein
Hillary Clinton announced yesterday that she selected Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia to be her running mate. She believes that the Senator has “the qualifications and background and the personal chemistry with her to make the ticket a success.” For the most part of this election season, I have been very critical of the former Secretary of State. I decried her ties to Wall Street and big corporations. I warned that Clinton is hurting the fight for campaign finance reform.
Hillary Clinton's Covert Campaign for the TPP
Hillary Clinton’s delegates voted down amendments proposed by Bernie Sanders supporters to reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership in the two-day Democratic platform meeting in Orlando.
The Simple Argument Against the TPP | The Progressive Army
It's insane to believe that the TPP will be a job creator. The Trans-Pacific Partnership has been a hot topic in the 2016 presidential election. President Obama has been actively promoting the TPP, hailing it as a progressive trade deal that would create jobs and protect the environment. Progressive leaders, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison, are not convinced and have rallied vigorously against it, warning that it would hurt jobs and would initiate a race to the bottom.
Lessig: Clinton's Defense for Accepting Big Money is "Deadly" To the Cause
Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Professor of Law and political activist against big money in politics, levied harsh criticism on Hillary Clinton’s defense for accepting large contributions during his Ask Me Anything session on Sunday. Clinton was frequently criticized by her rival Bernie Sanders for giving paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and accepting large amounts of money from Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry and other special interests.
Hillary Clinton Is Wrong: Expanding the ACA Is Not Enough
In the Democratic presidential debate in Brooklyn, Hillary Clinton viciously attacked Bernie Sanders’ call for a single payer ‘Medicare for All’ system. She called it a “train-wreck for the poor” and stated that “it would pose an incredible burden, not just on the budget, but on individuals.” Clinton then argued that the better approach to reach universal coverage is by expanding the Affordable Care Act to the last 10% of Americans who still don’t have insurance.
