Any politician or government that supports this illegal and catastrophic escalation into war is affirming their own disregard for human life β€” American and otherwise.

We grieve for every innocent life lost today, and we will hold accountable every leader who chose bombs over diplomacy.

There is always money for war. But there is never money for healthcare, education, housing, or food β€” the things that allow people to meet their basic needs and live with dignity.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Mike Elias is not going to get another starter. Help is not coming. No one is going to save you.

You are part of the unwashed masses and you will take what you get. You will pay the dynamic prices, and you will sit there and shut up and clap and you will like it.

This is the way things are now.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
