You should have never been fired. No one should get fired from their job or get expelled from their schools for criticizing the policies of a government, or for anti war and anti occupation statements against any government. Isn’t freedom of speech protected by the constitution?
@SocialistMMA
I don't think your interpretation of what Cornel said on your show is correct. He did not rebuke anyone. He said he engages in conversations with three of you to listen , to learn and most of all because he loves you all. In solidarity with Justice & Love. ✊🏽❤
For over 50 years, Cornel West has been morally consistent in his support of all political prisoners murdered or tortured by unjust systems of oppression. Although he has highlighted political prisoners in the barbaric prisons of the American empire, he also keeps track of the
Track records of her voting tell a different story! Performative politics only make the politicians stronger not "we the people"! Politicians must stop deceiving their voters!

That's what Iran has been for the past 43 years.

Yes, but your job IS to vote for people’s wellbeing that includes voting against war & military expansion. Your party’s platform is not that different than the Rs, so please stop presenting yourself and your “squad” friends as progressives. You all are anything but… At least
Contrary to how McCarthy’s defenders are behaving, men failing up is not a Constitutionally protected right.

Iranians inside & outside of Iran do not believe today’s MEK is their friend. It’s sad to see a group that was a freedom fighter in Shah’s regime & produced some of the most courageous individuals, to be reduced to this! We must tell the truth. #زن_زندگي_آزادي
#NoToMEK
1. Absolutely disgusting that
@Mike_Pence
went to MEK in Albania...most likely for a speaking fee.
Anyone who visits MEK and normalizes its leader Maryam Rajavi is no friend to the Iranian people.
MEK is a totalitarian cult that physically and psychologically abuses members.
The youth in Iran has started this movement called “turban throwing" #عمامه_پرانی and video taping themselves. They are fed up with this fascist regime and the clergies. The song is from

It is about to take the side of truth! And in telling the truth feelings get hurt, and we need to have the courage to speak the truth! And when a White man is dismissing the race issues in a society that was built on racial brutality, we need to call him/them out!
