Biden's record is not at all progressive. So how can I ask progressives to vote for Biden and urge others to do so? Three words: Trump. Climate. Democracy. 1/

If you're not urging others to vote for Biden, you're not helping remove a would-be Mussolini from the White House balcony. piped.video/watch?v=CfS8Auls…

I join @BernieSanders, @AOC, @CornelWest, @GretaThunberg and Noam Chomsky: progressives in swing states must help defeat Trump by swelling the vote for Biden in those states--despite our justified criticism of Biden. 1/ commondreams.org/views/2020/…

2/ The future of climate depends on this. We must defeat Trump then spend 4 years pressuring Biden on many issues. I hope @aoc runs in 2024- she has my vote! But a progressive Democratic challenger only has a chance in 2024 if we still have a somewhat-functioning democracy.

We can liberate America from Donald Trump now *only* by voting for Joe Biden by Nov. 3rd. Progressive pressure on Biden accelerates on Nov. 4th.
Longtime anti-war activist, @DanielEllsberg, expects to have a lot of oppositional activity ahead of him in the next 4 years, no matter who is president. He‘d rather battle Biden in the White House.
There is no political activity more important than making sure we #VoteTrumpOut

The American press has remained in denial for 40 years--since my case--that the Espionage Act has wording that could be aimed directly at them. Now they're staring down the barrel of that Act, which could be used against American journalists and publishers for doing journalism.
Pentagon Papers whistleblower @DanielEllsberg says Julian Assange's extradition trial puts U.S. journalists at risk. "The American press is staring right down the barrel at the use of the Espionage Act against American journalists and publishers for doing journalism."
