Other than cowardice and ignorance, there is zero justification to kill or die in this war. Please try to prove me wrong with a straight face.

Not since Vietnam has there been a greater opening for US soldiers to refuse war orders. Can you imagine dying for Benny Netanyahu and Donnie Trumpβ€”two of the most depraved souls to walk the Earth. I can’t.

The US military killed more than a hundred little girls on Saturday. Our child r*pist President just killed 160 little girls. We need to let this sink in. Reflect on it. Because we cant go on like normal at this point. We all lose a bit of our own humanity if we do. Something has to change.

Soldiers, you have no obligation to kill or die for Trump and Israel. Your legacy would be that of a mindless pawn if you do. Right now, courage is displayed through resistance not compliance. The majority of the US population will support you. Reach out to Veterans for Peace & About Face for help

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti.

DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state.

There’s no β€œfixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

Trump's lawyer says he chose to withhold "images of death" from a tranche of docs his client's name is all over, as well as other current and former members of Trump's administration.

How are millions not in the street protesting the Epstein Files?

We're paying taxes to these people.

β€˜Backing down isn’t an option’: Minnesota ICE shootings mobilize Americans to join ICE observer groups The killings of Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti have inspired people across the US to document federal agents’ activities in their communities

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing β€” then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed.

ICE watchers are being detained and harassed β€” but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Is it maybe time for a mass protest in DC...

...over the Epstein Files?

Hundreds of victims, thousands of lies, countless crimes, nearly all the most powerful business and political leaders in America involved in the broader narrative in some way...

Maybe worth a public event?

Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long? I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

β€œWhat verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”

ICE Kills American Woman in Minneapolis Trump decries β€œradical left;” homeland security screams β€œdomestic terror”

ICE's killing of unarmed American citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis today has NSPM-7 written all over it, as well as a related Pam Bondi memo ordering feds to see any interference of ICE agents as a terrorist threat:

If you’re still looking for reasons for how we ended up with Trump, you can look in part to the current white washing of one of the greatest war criminals of our time on CNN right now. The nostalgia for the β€œpolitically normal” times of Bush and Cheney is stomach turning. οΏΌ
