Press Conference coming up @5:45 est. Why is the DNC Trying to Silence Nina Turner?
National Nurses United is reporting a major press conference on the DNC treatment of Sanders surrogate Nina Turner last night.

An all-star list of performers, including Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover, Rosario Dawson, Shailene Woodley, and Kendrick Sampson, will headline a media availability today to respond to efforts by the Democratic National Committee to silence former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, a leading and prominent African American surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Akron City Councilwoman Tara Samples, filmmaker Josh Fox, Women for Bernie co-founder Portia Boulder, and National Nurses United Co-President Deborah Burger will also participate.

Comments
Knowing Nina Turner, this should be a barn berner n/t
Looks like TYT's will be filming live-excited to see this! nt
I'm VERY disappointed in Ben Jealous
And his attempts to claim that nothing happened to her.
Would like to give him the benefit of the doubt, since I knew him personally at one time, and assume he talked to her BEFORE this happened, or that he's just nitpicking around technicalities, but it's still a major disappointment.
He was NEVER like this before Hillary. The change is too much and too rapid to be anything but Hillary's goons issuing DIRECT and pointed orders.
Otherwise, it means I'm a horrible judge of character.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Another example of the Clintons' reverse Midas touch
Everything and everyone they touch turns to shit.
Please help support caucus99percent!
Thanks for the heads up! It's up now, looks like they are gonna
be starting soon, they are setting stuff up still it looks like.

Looks like TYT has a stream too.

So far much less coverage of peoples butts, lol!

Nina is a prime candidate for a new leader
She's brave, uncompromising, eloquent and charismatic. It would be wonderful to see the next phase of the movement spearheaded by people like Nina Turner and Kshama Sawant.
Please help support caucus99percent!
I wonder if she is going to be the new face of the revolution
that we have been hoping would come forward.
She would be a TREMENDOUS asset.

I think that's why the DNC wanted to silence Nina....
because Nina has the potential to be a major leader in the 'political revolution' that the DNC wants to stop. She strikes fear in the establishment ...Go Nina!
Nina spent the week leading up to the DNC with Jill Stein
So I think it's a safe bet that she'll be joining Steins campaign soon.
She was stripped of her credentials

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Crowds are chanting "Bern with Nina!!"
Or "were with Nina"
Hard to tell.

Susan got a little shitty with the TYT guy...
Said they called her a "Bleeding Heart Liberal."
That doesn't sound like TYT, lol! I think she may have mixed them up with another network.

Lots of Cheers, Still no Nina? Danny Glover is there as well as
a couple other celebs that I am not familiar with.
Doesn't look like Nina is gonna be there?
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
Looks like they are just going to speak about her.
They are basically just stating their dissatisfaction with the DNC.
They just said she is delayed but they are hoping she comes.

The lady from Ohio
who's speaking now is a little unhinged.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Yeah, I bet they are regretting bringing her on...
I liked how they shuffled her to the back like it was over, and then went on asking questions. It was a good way to handle it.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
I'm not sure
they brought her on. She just seemed to walk up and start demanding to be listened too. And you're right. She got moved to the back of the line after Sarandons eyes got pie shaped.
lol

Nice to see some celebs who have not sold their souls

From the common dream link
And from the comments, Tulsi Gabbard nominated Bernie Sanders

Did you see the Common Dreams "Killing the messenger"
announcement?
Gotta love those "Hillary Bro's" always being the adult in the room:
Looks like the haters abound all through the Democratic Party.
I am more convinced than ever that the Democratic Party is now just a less racist version of the Republican Party...
So can't wait to vote Green...
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
Yes I saw there message about what it cost them
to support Bernie and those comments in the message.
Typical Hillary supporters being bullies just because they posted articles on both candidates
Sigh.
So they don't care anymore about the other issues the site covers that other sites don't?

considering all the CD links that pop up on K4S...
...these people were probably never subscribers or Sanders supporters. they just found a link and bothered to write and complain. it would seem that CD would be against their sensibilities all along if they now claim they are supporting Clinton, so i don't buy it.
Yeah, I was wondering if they
Yeah, I was wondering if they were Hillary insiders or paid Hillary trolls - they sure sound like it!
Why would any large donor even bother writing something that made them sound that freaking weird?
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
No Nina.
Disappointing, but let her take the time she needs.
Here's a thought experiment:
What would it take to get Nina Turner at the top of the Green ticket, and what do you think would happen if it happened?
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." - Mark Twain
I have been making a pest of myself,
pushing the idea of Nina for VP with Jill. I've sent messages to both women, more than once, and neither of them has told me to stfu. So I still have hope.
If the DNC was mean to Nina [I don't have the details] it will go a long way towards making her a nationally known person. It might be rough on her personally, but it's good politics.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
Finally here comes Nina and crowd goes wild! nt
Where at? Neither of the links here showed her or I missed it.
Bummer.
She say anything huge?

Missed it :-(
Maybe The Young Turks will have footage?
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Thank You, VlB
for making this link available. Got there a bit late, but I'm still there waiting to hear from Nina!
(I'm always trying to locate Political Rev. TV, now I learn that they've got another address).
From what I gleaned, she kicked out the press
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
So what happened?
where's Nina? This
selectionelection is so messed up. I think the first thing the Greens and the other outside coalitions need to do is get some good geeks. I mean their feeds are terrible technically. Maybe teh google and the evil corporations are making it harder but seriously we need to be able to counter the media with feeds links and you tubes that work. Getting this out there where people can actually watch and hear what's happening is important.Nina finally spoke to press
to cleveland.com's Henry Gomez, and Nina confirmed that the DNC folks barred her from speaking for Bernie's nomination.
Her Heinous really IS vindictive!
If she manages to weasel into the White House - watch out, world!

The Hillary Show
of a convention is exactly why no one should vote for the Dems. It's extortion disguised as a democratic election. I read somewhere that the toothless captured UN is even making noises about this blatant rigged coronation. It's just sick. People are so inundated with fear that they believe this shit.
TYT is stocked with interviews chronicling how rigged the DNC is
I've been watching for the past two days, aghast at one story after another of purposeful stripping of delegate's credentials, threats of arrest, intimidation, etc and what's really going on that we're not hearing. Thuggery, Turd Way-style.
Here's a few:
The Real News and Democracy Now also have excellent content. A few from them:

FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC"

"Creating" Unity
I'm not going to repost the links because most seem to be of questionable origin, but I'd like more info on the seat fillers the is supposedly DNC bringing in and telling to cheer for Clinton, after Sanders supporters walked out.
I guess if you want to "create" unity, that's one way to do it... Fabricate it entirely.
The Democrats could be in for a rude awakening in November, and all because they shoved Horrible Hillary down everyone's throats...
Nina Turner has been fantastic
Doing this to her is just sickening. She got all the way out there and then the HillaryBots didn't even have the decency to tell her that she had been cancelled, they made Bernie do it. The only rationale for not letting her speak is that they don't trust her, they want to stage manage every detail of this convention, even down to what the signs say.
Not letting her speak is insane! This will resonate with many people, and people won't vote for Hillary. She's harming the very people that she needs if she is going to win.
This happened in 2000 as well, the left was taken for granted.
I was #NeverHillary in the first place, but I am seriously considering voting for Trump, just to take one away from her for what she did to Nina.
"Obama promised transparency, but Assange is the one who brought it."
I'm leery of Mother Jones lately, but David Corn spoke w/ Nina.

My guess: it was Orders from the Queen
as vindictive payback for "deserting" her for Bernie.
This sort of petty cruelty is what we can expect on a routine basis, if She is elected.
