October 10, 2019The Democrats Don’t Love All Whistleblowers
As the Democrats in Congress prepare to impeach Trump, they are praising the CIA whistleblower as a hero. But these same politicians have viciously persecuted whistleblowers who dared to expose the crimes of U.S. imperialism. Whistleblowers deserve our unreserved support irrespective of the magnitude of their leaks. Freedom and protection for all whistleblowers!

The Democratic Socialists of America held their biannual convention in Atlanta last weekend. It should have been a tour de force. Some important resolutions were voted, but most of the weekend was spent engaging in procedural bickering.

On the second night of the July Democratic primary debates, ten presidential hopefuls discussed their proposals for healthcare and immigration in the U.S. Despite fiery rhetoric, all they proved is that no one in the Democratic Party can offer real solutions.
