The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Some rhythms don’t knock.
They just rock up — like a yard filling up before you even realize the music started.

You can almost see it: warm air, neighbors leaning over balconies, somebody clapping the beat from across the way.

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.

Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.

We’ve become accepting of pure lies

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

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.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Have you noticed that MAGA is basically saying “ I don't care what the Epstein Files say.
I would rather have a pedophile rapist grifting the country than admit I was ever wrong."

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
