Thanks to the privileges granted to foreign investors, Honduras is facing billions in claims from what are often corrupt corporations. We must respect the will of the Honduran people and end these exploitative corporate privileges. Jen Moore and @springkj buff.ly/4890dZD

Thanks in large part to the extremism of Netanyahu’s government, more Americans are growing critical of the U.S.’s unrestricted support of Israel — and of Zionism.

This is how the Duterte and Marcos dynasties secure their autocracies — by waging trumped up lawfare against their critics while @Facebook allows them to lie 24/7. Release @WaldenBello immediately and drop these charges! #ReleaseWaldenBello

The U.S. stopped buying Russian gas in order to stop funding the Russian war in Ukraine. By the same logic, we should stop buying Saudi oil to stop funding the Saudi war in Yemen.

"Continuing to fund the Russian war machine by buying Russian gas is obviously unacceptable.
By the same standard, it’s equally unacceptable to fund the Saudi war in Yemen, and reward Saudi human rights violations, by buying Saudi oil."

Biden once said the U.S. should never “check its principles at the door just to buy oil or sell weapons.”

We're horrified and saddened to hear about the racist, violent threats against @RepJayapal while home with her family in Seattle this past weekend.
White supremacy-driven hate crimes are rising & must be addressed seriously. We're glad Rep. Jayapal is safe and send our support.
