COMMON DREAMS TO PROTEST SESSIONS FIRING – THURSDAY AT 5 PM
Common Dreams is organizing protests because of Jeff Sessions’ firing. Coming from such a left-wing group (see below), this may seem strange. But if you look at the arrow on the tweet from supporter Anna Galland, you’ll see that she’s no fan of Sessions. She and other protesters assume it means the ending of the Mueller investigation, which is looking at “Trump’s crimes.”
Common Dreams’ website says their funding comes “thousands of small donations.” Yeah, and maybe a few really big ones, too.

Here’s what leftist writer Tony Logan, banned in 2008 from their site, has to say:
The biggest liberal website out there online, Common Dreams, informs us with its headline today that ‘OBAMA’S PROGRESSIVES: HOLDING, PUSHING, TUGGING’. Common Dreams has become a major resource for the US Left and liberal community in the last couple of years through its posting of many important commentaries by Leftists and liberals plus its convenient links that many of us use quite often. Unfortunately there is a big weakness of the site, and that is their censorship of commentaries, writers, and readers WHO ARE NOT COMPLETELY 100% ON BOARD WITH THEIR ‘SUPPORT THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS’, PRO-DEMOCRATIC PARTY POINT OF VIEW.
