Anti-Biden Coalitions Plan National Convention To Find Presidential Alternatives
“We are done choosing the lesser of the two evils. Why do they, the Democrats, have to bring in bad candidates? Why can’t the Democratic Party be the Democratic Party for all of the people?

Organizers with megaphones led ...

President Biden, why do you support genocide in Gaza?
Since I last wrote to you, Mr President, I have lost another 184 members of my extended family in Gaza. The Palestinians are among the most educated nations in the entire Middle East. They are a very curious people. Their most burning question they all have today is, “why”? Why do the Palestinian people have to endure genocide at the hands of your ally, carried out with your weapons and money, while you refuse to call for a ceasefire? Can you tell us why, Mr President?...
