Via FOIA, I exposed the FBI's multiple terrorism investigations into a nonviolent Palestinian solidarity organization, predicated on First Amendment activity, such as anti-capitalist philosophy. Took five years, but here's the story. theintercept.com/2020/04/05/isr…
Trump admin is trying to get a new regime change war going I see.
Maduro is NOT the President of Venezuela and his regime is NOT the legitimate government. Maduro is the head of the Cartel de Los Soles, a narco-terror organization which has taken possession of a country. And he is under indictment for pushing drugs into the United States.
Citing your sources when the FBI makes key details unavailable (no, I haven't decided whether redacted should be in all caps or not)
As the world watches the Palestinian children of Gaza starve death due to Israel's genocidal denial of aid, Israel once again commits an act of piracy against those heroic enough to try to break Israel's illegal siege by lawfully bringing aid by sea.

NEW: As part of a separate FOIA investigation, we have discovered that the DHS distributed a “Situational Awareness Bulletin” about the 2022 film "How to Blow Up a Pipeline"
If Tulsi Gabbard really wanted to make Obama, Brennan, and Clapper mad by declassifying something, she could release the Senate Torture Report Obama helped the CIA bury.
The dangerous situation in Syria—particularly for minority groups, including Christians—is what some of us warned about for years while neocons, establishment GOP and Dems, and the so-called expert class worked to arm “moderate” rebels who were allies or offshoots of al-Qaeda.
BREAKING: Defending Rights & Dissent Lawsuit Uncovers FBI Surveillance of Journalists and Peace Activists at Left Forum @ChipGibbons89 breaks down our discovery that 2 FBI agents secretly attended a panel on @WikiLeaks at the 2018 @LeftForum conference rightsanddissent.org/news/defending…
Cooked some mussels yesterday for a belated Bastille Day celebration.
So is the official position of AOC here that Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Al Green, and Summer Lee by voting for the amendment were "adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war?" Because that's a pretty incendiary position.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…
Our country is obsessed with war. Every year, Congress votes to invest in death and destruction instead of health care, housing, clean air and water, or ending child poverty here at home. I will not vote to send another $831.5 billion to the Pentagon.

Our Policy Director @ChipGibbons89 coming up next on the @majorityfm with @EmmaVigeland! Watch live here: youtube.com/watch?v=u-I2Up…
In about 30 minutes, I'll be joining @majorityfm to discuss Trump's ideologically motivated deportations, Mahmoud Khalil, and free speech in the age of Trump!
I attended an ADL briefing where their Senior Vice President for Counter Extremism and Intelligence complained Congress focused on the illegality of Trump's Iran attack, not its impact on Iran's nuclear program. Antisemitism is real and evil. This is not the org to tackle it.
Excluding @ADL’s educational resources from schools is not just an attack on our org, but on the entire Jewish community. We urge the @NEAToday Executive Committee to reverse this biased, fringe effort and reaffirm its commitment to supporting all Jewish students and educators.
Working on the Obama chapter of my FBI book and stumbled across news items about Julian Assange speaking to Occupy London. Probably illegible to folks now, but in line with zeitgeist of the moment. Wild how politics have changed since, for better and for worse.
BREAKING: In response to our FOIA request about the government’s collusion with private blacklisting organizations like Canary Mission, Betar, and the ADL, @CBP is claiming it cannot release files mentioning a “business” unless the business consents on their letterhead. This is…
