“The poor, of whatever color, do not trust the law and certainly have no reason to, and God knows we didn’t. ‘If you must call a cop,’ we said in those days, ‘for God’s sake, make sure it’s a white one.’ We did not feel that the cops were protecting us, for we knew too much about the reasons for the kinds of crimes committed in the ghetto; but we feared Black cops even more than white cops, because the Black cop had to work so much harder — on your head — to prove to himself and his colleagues that he was not like all the other n******” - James Baldwin

@hennessy_eunuch If they’re Democrats, they’re not socialists. Democrats are a capitalist party- if you’re rocking with them, you’re a social democrat, not a socialist.

The ‘Democrat’ Party is an ironic moniker; like calling the biggest guy on the block ‘Tiny.’ They haven’t had a real presidential primary since 2012. They spend more to knock Greens off the ballot in every single electoral cycle than Greens spend on campaigns. Authoritarian regimes across the globe invent bull$hit reasons to remove competitors from the ballot all the time. Dems are authoritarian antidemocratic fascists. Everyone who supports them needs to think about the moral ramifications of that.

‘Butch doesn’t even have ballot access.’ Any ‘leftist’ that repeated that was running cover and carrying water for Dems. In 2022, Matthew Hoh, a former military whistleblower who protested the war in Afghanistan was disqualified from the ballot in his Green senate run when Dem operatives impersonated Green Party officials and called signatories telling them that Hoh was withdrawing from the race. Today, Dems moved to disqualify Pete Karas from the ballot in Wisconsin. In 2024 Democrats spent 6x more suing Greens off of ballots than the total Stein/Ware campaign budget. Develop some pattern recognition. My campaign followed the rules and regulations- to the letter. But Team Blue genocide counts on libs; ‘progressives,’ and even ‘leftists’ to run pro bono psyops for them. And some folks fall right in line.

Press release sent today: We're fighting this challenge, even if it goes to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Democrats Try to Kick Green Party Candidate Off the Ballot. He's Not Having It. MUSKEGO, WI — Pete Karas filed his nomination papers to run for Wisconsin Secretary of State as a Green Party candidate. Today, someone hired a law firm to make sure you never get to vote for him. A verified challenge was filed this morning with the Wisconsin Elections Commission targeting Karas's nomination papers. The legal work was done by Halling & Cayo, S.C., a Milwaukee firm. The grounds? A technicality — circulator certification language tied to 2025 Wisconsin Act 126, a law that has already been challenged in federal court as unconstitutional. Karas isn't surprised. "This is the playbook," he said. "When the two-party system can't beat you on the issues, they try to make sure you're never on the ballot in the first place. Democrats talk about protecting democracy. What they mean is protecting their own power." The challenge will be heard by the Wisconsin Elections Commission on June 9, 2026. Karas plans to file a full verified response and show up to defend his candidacy in person. "I collected those signatures. Real people signed those papers because they want a choice that isn't a Democrat or a Republican. I'm going to fight for every one of those signatures — and I'm going to be on that ballot in November." Karas is running on a platform of government transparency, expanded public records access, ranked-choice voting, and breaking down the barriers that keep independent and third-party candidates off the ballot. He notes the particular absurdity of the moment: a candidate being sued off the ballot for advocating better ballot access. "They just made my point for me," he said. Pete Karas is the Wisconsin Green Party candidate for Secretary of State. Learn more at PeteKaras.com. Paid for by Pete for Wisconsin.

@LexStepp You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve lived here for eight years, I’ve got a son that is in high school here now and was in 2nd grade when we came here. You’re just making things up bc you’re an ignorant hater.

For all the progressives, Black folks, Muslims, and others that knew better, but gave individual or institutional endorsements to the Zionist billionaire prison profiteer: I hope the check cleared. And I hope your integrity, and credibility were worth it… The thing about voting your values, is that win or lose, you never lose.

My deepest gratitude goes out to all who have supported this campaign. You voted against genocide, exploitation, and oppression and for humanity, equity, and justice. History will record that you helped lay the foundation of the movement that eventually ended the duopoly. Illegal and unethical Democrat and Zionist efforts to remove me from the ballot and the debates kept us from winning this election. They cheated us but have not defeated us. When the votes are all counted, this will be one of the most successful write-in campaigns in history. And this liberation movement is bigger than any individual election or even electoral politics. Our work has only begun, and if we persist, liberation and victory are assured.

California, you have an opportunity to redirect the course of human history today. Despite all their efforts at suppression and disenfranchisement, you can strike a death blow at the heart of Zionism, imperialism, capitalism, and white supremacy. And you can inscribe healthcare, housing, human rights, and equity into our collective future. B-U-T-C-H W-A-R-E

Y’all ready to go green yet? How much more of this are y’all planning to accept?

Hahahaha. Write in @ButchWare. This is dead serious.

Today I’m joined by Butch Ware. He is a historian, educator, activist, former Green Party vice presidential nominee, and now a write-in candidate for governor of California. His campaign argues for universal healthcare, housing, immigrant protections and structural reforms, while also challenging ballot access rules and the dominance of the two-party system. gp.org/butch_ware_fac…

“You are now in a state of war. A war against your choice. Against a non‑corporate option. Against an anti‑genocide option.” We didn't meet our fundraising goal. The duopoly sees us as an existential threat. They will bury us in court for years. We need a war chest. Donate now. Then write in BUTCH WARE. 🔗 butchware4gov.com/donate

#California #ButchWare #WriteIn

Step 1: Go to the bottom of the candidate list for Governor. Step 2: Fill in the bubble next to the write-in line. Step 3: Write BUTCH WARE clearly and legibly. You deserve a real choice. Write me in, so they don’t write you out. 🔗 butchware4gov.com/write-in

Just to clear things up once and for all: You CAN vote for me in this primary election. I am an officially registered write-in candidate for Governor of CA. It’s just 3 steps and 9 letters to build a CA not subservient to establishment Dems or billionaires buying our election.

All I can think about today is how badly we have failed our family in Palestine. Today is the Day of Arafat, one of the holiest days on the Islamic calendar, and preceding our major annual celebration, Eid al-Adha. But I don’t feel like celebrating. As a Muslim ummah and as a human family, our resistance has been so ineffectual, while the resistance - especially in Gaza - has been so noble and courageous. Sharing this for no reason, except to remind myself and anyone else not to give an inch in the face of capitalism, imperialism, and white supremacy, because Zionism is all of these.
