If you or someone you know is in the US military & you don't want to be deployed for this endless war drive, there are people & organizations to help you through the conscientious objector process. (Don't ask your CO because they'll lie.)
Here's one of the groups that can help for free.
“This unprovoked attack is not about Iran having nuclear weapons. This is about Israeli hegemony in the Middle East and toppling the Iranian government.”

Minnesota would like a word.
In case you missed it.
Iran/US history: You should at LEAST grasp that the Shah of Iran was as much a CIA puppet as Noriega, Hussein, Seaga & Pinochet (etc). In 1953, the U.S. & UK staged a massive coup to wrest control over nationalized oil reservese & the CIA ABOLISHED Iranian democracy. bigbendtimes.com/2026/02/28/t...
When I say that the global Jewish resistance to Israeli extremism is real—and has been real for decades on end—I do not exaggerate.
This is but one facet of it.
Those of us who observe our faith cannot conveniently ignore the central tenets of that faith.

Israel is like a weak, cowardly and sadistic pipsqueak that enjoys bullying people in his neighborhood and starting fights and would normally get his ass kicked, but gets away with it because of who his big brother is.
30 years.
This video should be on every network.
A thing they don't tell you about the "push a button for a million dollars but someone you don't know dies" hypothetical is that literally every billionaire is effectively pressing that button as much as they can all the time because that's how exploitation works.
It isn't a hypothetical, it's the backbone of the system
What is also important to understand is that the U.S. model of supermax incarceration (aka isolation, SHU, solitary, punitive segregation), has caught on ALL OVER the world. Although lengths of time in solitary & degrees of torture vary, American influence on punitive tactics & attitudes is real.
In a video-obsessed culture where nothing is “real” unless it’s watchable, the prevalence of U.S. #torture in #prisons, jails & detention facilities seems unreal. I’ve been in these places & interviewed countless prisoners about their suffering. It’s terror by design. m.youtube.com/watch?v=4QJ3...
tweet from @cliftonhowze on twitter Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.
in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.
If the influencer you are consuming is telling you how bad things are and not providing any solutions they are selling you doomerism not resistance.
If you want list of things you can do to make the world a better place start by learning your neighbors names & questioning the assumptions you make.
Trump Christianity:
Cuba absolutely has voting and democracy. Here's a video explaining how it works there, with plenty of sources cited in the video description. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aMs...
The US wants Cuba to fall because the revolution remains a permanent embarrassment for them. Not only has the US failed repeatedly to oust the communist party, but has to explain why this small country under an embargo has better healthcare, education and literacy than they.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), the party supported by JD Vance and Elon Musk, are now looking to ICE in the US for inspiration and saying Germany needs an ICE of its own. www.politico.eu/article/euro...
Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law Authors: James Q. WhitmanPublication Date: 2017 Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States. Did the American regime of racial oppression in any way inspire the Nazis?

The New Red Scare is Here #SecondThought
What happens when a society turns in on itself, devouring, disappearing, incarcerating & killing its own citizens? Isolating globally whilst expanding empire?
Americans, you’re living it. But please don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s the first time. Not even close.

Even more specifically, it is the INTERSECTION of ethnic & class oppression. Just as ”slave patrols” became cop patrols, plantations “evolved” into modern-day prisons. And, yes, class divisions ran throughout.
The siege of Gaza was the precedent
“Coerced and forced sterilization is considered a crime against humanity under international law and also constituting genocide... over 70,000 Native American women and women of color were forcibly sterilized just in the ’70s alone, when these eugenics laws were on the books.”
Because remember, the Cubans fought a revolution against a US-backed dictatorship, and they have struggled to survive under US blockade for half a century. They will not surrender their sovereignty easily, they will fight to the bitter end, and the US understands this.
To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?
The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.
