Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.
"That's just how it is."

In the eyes of Trump and his minions, this is all a video game and they're the only players that matter. You and I and all the rest of us are just NPCs who can be sacrificed with no consequence.

The USA and Israel are βGazafyingβ Teheran and other major cities with reckless attacks on civilian areas and infrastructure. As they confront the reality that you canβt achieve regime change from the air, their target list becomes ever more reckless and illegal.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online
The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.
"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

In the 1930s, Harry Chandler's LA Times ran regular columns on eugenics. The Human Betterment Foundation (backed by Chandler) included PSAs like this one. By showing a clipped vine from infecting a tree, it endorsed forced vasectomies to stop impure bloodlines from undesirables.

By Killing Khamenei, the West Created a Martyr β and Mainstream Media Is Ignoring the Muslim Backlash

"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didnβt just strike Iranβs government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority β and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you donβt want to purchase it).
