Perdón si nuestras palabras son extremadamente polarizantes, quizá nos ha radicalizado la decencia más básica, pero creemos que la guerra está mal.

NO A LA GUERRA.

1/ Trump’s illegal war with Iran has already taken a devastating human toll. It could also mean higher energy bills worldwide, while fossil fuel companies, traders and investors get rich.

First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.

Gee, what do Venezuela and Iran have in common? Trump has now attacked 2 of the 5 founding members of OPEC and allied himself with the other three (Saudi, Iraq, Kuwait). It’s not all about oil (Epstein, election distraction/pretense, corruption) but it’s also not not about oil. Again.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Fossil fuel giant wins $370 million tax break for burning gas as an ‘alternative fuel’ The IRS allowed one of the world’s largest exporters of natural gas to claim its heavily polluting tankers are low-emissions “motorboats,” the company said.

A fossil fuel CEO attended a Mar-a-Lago dinner where Trump urged Big Oil execs to donate a collective $1 billion to his campaign

In return, Trump promised that he'd cut taxes and regulations for their companies.

Trump just made good on his end of the deal...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s FDR Moment By invoking Franklin D. Roosevelt’s warning about economic hardship and fascism, AOC is arguing that working-class populism isn’t just good policy — it’s democracy’s last line of defense.

Thank you for showing and reading from these letters. We must get to every tendril of the crimes against humanity underway by this regime. ICE out of everywhere is a floor. Perpetrators of these crimes must be put on trial. Close all the camps. Bring people home.

Little to gain by raising taxes on the rich
New research shows the current top federal income tax rate is close to revenue-maximizing.

Politicians who want to raise taxes on the rich will be disappointed to learn they wouldn't get much additional money to spend by doing so, though it would slow

Happy Black History Month! We honor the remarkable contributions Black Americans have made to our nation and our communities.

As President Trump and his toadies try to censor the history of Black Americans, we celebrate loudly and proudly so we never forget that Black history is American history.

Donald Trump claimed today that “a massive Armada is heading to Iran,” warning that the US is “ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary.”

On the Drop Site News livestream, 
@jeremyscahill
 noted that Iran is signalling a shift in its rules of engagement. 

Iranian officials are indicating that the traditional policy of calibrated retaliation may change if the U.S. or Israel target Iran’s top leadership. 

Scahill noted that discussions inside Iran’s national security circles reportedly include the possibility of larger-scale retaliation against U.S. forces if Iran is attacked again.

He also cut through the political rhetoric in Washington: This is not about “supporting the Iranian people,” Scahill said. “This is about U.S. imperial aims. It’s about oil. It’s about gas. It’s about geopolitical war.”

From the 1953 CIA-backed coup and support for the Shah, to decades of sanctions that have devastated ordinary Iranians, to June’s 12-day U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign that killed more than 1,000 people, Scahill argued that U.S. policy toward Iran has consistently been about imperial aims — not democracy.

When a federal officer kills a U.S. citizen amid a pattern of unlawful enforcement practices, there must be accountability and change. I will not vote for additional funding for DHS or ICE this week.
