Mutual aid is one of the most powerful tools we have against fascism. When communities take care of each other, autocrats lose their grip. The closer we grow together, the harder we are to break.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or β€œfederalize” the coming Congressional elections.

Self-terrorism might not have been the initial aim;

here’s an old rule in war.

You don’t weaken the engine while the plane is still in the air.

But that’s exactly what is happening right now.

There is a question that the American press has not yet found the courage to ask out loud. This publication will ask it. On March 4, 2026, six United States service members were killed in a drone strike on a tactical operations center in Kuwait.

The Washington Post, which first reported on this, quoted a Russian military expert as saying that Iran is now β€œmaking very precise hits on early-warning radars or over-the-horizon radars,” seeming to validate the concern. The article added:

To believe that a dying empire headed by a fascist monster and a state carrying out a genocide headed by war criminals want a free and democratic Iran betrays reality and historic accuracy.

And when people feel like the truth is impossible to determine, they also disengage. They throw up their hands and say, β€œFuck it! Who knows what’s really happening?” They retreat into tribal loyalties or simply tune out altogether.

Human rights are either universal or they are meaningless. But the militaristic violence of the world's imperialist houses, whether it comes from the West or its powerful adversaries, should not be misunderstood as liberatory.

Iran offers safe pass of Hormuz to any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of Israel and the U.S.

That's looking like a great deal:

Israel/USA engaged in genocide, interfere in elections, USA has been tariffing and threatening land grabs, now they bomb Iran without warning...

Gas pump prices are already rising. Transportation costs are climbing. Inflation is under renewed pressure. Lower income households in particular bear the burden because energy accounts for a disproportionately large share of their expenses. The effect is not abstract.

What we are witnessing in our Country is more than a political disagreement. It is the normalization of moral collapse. It is the elevation of ignorance into identity, cruelty into virtue, and corruption into culture.

It doesn’t matter who pressured, convinced or conned Trump into attacking Iran. He’s the president. The buck stops with him. He’s accountable. Blaming others is just distraction.

California Counties Are Directly Funding Immigrant Legal Defense - PopularResistance.Org With the Trump administration escalating immigration enforcement, a number of California municipal and county governments are setting aside public money toΒ help immigrantsΒ and rapid response networks build legal defenses. San Francisco and Alameda County are among the latest to designate additional money for immigrants to defend themselves against deportation. In October, when President Donald Trump threatened to increase Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Bay Area, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors beefed up its defense fund by a unanimous vote with $3.5 million. In March, Alameda County doubled the fund it had started with $3.5 million.

Kast advocates for a total abortion ban in Chile and, as a congressman, voted against the right to a divorce in 2004. Kast is an unapologetic supporter of Pinochet. Kast’s party has announced plans to repeal Chile’s current abortion law, which allows the procedure in cases of rape.

Trump Went to War With Iran Because Jared Kushner Is a Fool Donald Trump’s top two negotiators have no clue what they’re doing.

Witkoff and Kushner chose not to have nuclear technical experts present during negotiations in Geneva. Several experts have raised questions about the disastrous duo’s technical understanding of uranium enrichment after they presented an assessment of Iran’s Research Reactor that made no sense.

When coronavirus first hit 6 years ago, I warned that Trump would do a disastrous job handling it.

400,000 Americans died of Covid-19 under Trump.

Now he and his lackeys are dismantling our public health agencies and firing experts who could protect us from the next pandemic.

Movement To Create Unregulated 'Billionaire Fiefdoms' Gaining Momentum - PopularResistance.Org The Trump Administration is supporting the development of privatized libertarian enclaves that are not subject to local or national laws where the wealthy can exploit land and peoples for profit. Known as the Network State Movement, many of these 'special economic free zones' already exist in the United States and around the world, but their backers, such as Peter Thiel of Palantir, are searching for a place to create the first private 'nation'. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Beth Geglia, an anthropologist and documentarian who focuses on tech-futurist territorial movements, about the first zones, how Trump's Board of Peace is connected to the Network State Movement and the fight back.
