Excerpt:

Several thousand people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, February 19, to protest U.S. support for the war in Ukraine around the time of its one-year anniversary.

The protest was organized by the People's Party and Libertarian Party. It brought together groups on the left and libertarian right which were unified in their demand that the U.S. government should not spend one more penny on the war in Ukraine.

Prior to the event, a few people on the left pulled out or wrote denunciations of the rally because of the presence of the Libertarian Party, which advocates policies they don’t like.

Responding to that, comedian Jimmy Dore said on Sunday that this kind of attitude was akin to saying: "I would like to fight against the threat of nuclear war but not with you [as if these people had some kind of disease]" and that, "if a fireman came to help save his burning home, he would not quiz them about their views on gender relations or trans-sexuals and then stop them if they didn’t accord to his own."

Dore further said that the oligarchy wants Americans to hate their neighbors when people have mutually suffered from their policies

...

Max Blumenthal, of The Grayzone Project, started the rally by reminding the audience that the people of Luhansk and Donetsk have suffered for nine years under bombs supplied by the U.S. and by avowed neo-Nazi forces who killed Jews in pogroms [during World War II].

Blumenthal also said that people on the other side of the U.S. empire did not care whether people identified as a leftist, or rightist what they wanted was for people in the U.S. to "rage against the sick, satanic, neo-conservative war machine" that has caused so much destruction.
