At Donald's behest, the United States of America is committing crimes against humanity.

And the Republican Party is doing nothing to stop him.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

A David Frum response to Ro Khanna shows how hasbara culture has warped the Jewish communityโ€™s response to antisemitism When Ro Khanna made a sharp joke in response to an AIPAC smear, David Frum didnโ€™t see politics but 3,000 years of Jew-hatred. That is hasbara culture in action.

โ€˜A very dangerous personโ€™: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict Brash and bellicose, he sounded more like a cartoon bully than a sombre statesman. โ€œDeath and destruction from the sky all day long,โ€ Pete Hegseth, wearing a red, white and and blue tie and pocket square, bragged to reporters at the Pentagon near Washington. โ€œThis was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while theyโ€™re down, which is exactly how it should be.โ€ Hegseth, 45, a former Fox News TV host who now commands the worldโ€™s most powerful military, has this week become the face of Donald Trumpโ€™s war in Iran. That has set off for alarm bells for critics who warn that the Secretary of Defense โ€“ pointedly rebranded โ€œSecretary of Warโ€ โ€“ has rapidly transformed the Pentagon into the staging ground for an ideological and religious crusade.

Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902โ€“1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrรฅgan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966โ€“1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso Garcรญa Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI
