"Trump is a criminal. Per US law, per our constitution, per international law." I joined Asia One News for a discussion on the current US-Iran conflict where I do not hold back stating what needs said. Because NONE of this is normal and this is not time for anyone to pretend as if it somehow is.

“Look at yourself in the mirror, America, and be honest with what you see.” This is not the America I fought and sacrificed for. Or maybe it always was, and I served a myth and a lie. Either way, We the People decide what America stands for—what America becomes.

My friend and brother has a powerful message against the fascism we now face. This was just a part of the speech he gave this past weekend. I am proud to count this man as my best friend… We may take this on the road.

Highlights from my interview with TRT World where we discuss the deployment of a U.S. "armada" to the Persian Gulf, Trump's continued threats against the Iranian regime, his true motivations, and the implications of another attack on Iran.

Two dozen Buddhist monks are on a 2,300-mile journey across the U.S. on foot from their temple in Fort Worth, Texas, with the final destination of Washington, D.C. In each city they stop in along with way, they bring a simple message. Peace. #WalkforPeace #AmericanRevolution

I worked with CNN's Katie Polglase and team to break down the U.S. raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Highlights and interview below. See the full report here: www.cnn.com/2026/01/23/a... @cnn.com @katiepolglase.bsky.social

Glad to provide commentary to @politico.com on an important foreign policy question: What role should U.S. policy makers play in regulating critical commercial technologies that carry geopolitical impacts on the global sphere?

I set out today to post a simple message about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy, but I simply can't. His legacy has never meant more. Today, white nationalism and fascism have risen like dark flames. Depravity and despotism, fueled by unbridled hate and bigotry, rage across our society.

That we will, Mr. President. Rest assured.

If they so fear a loving, kind, compassionate mother of three that they murder her in cold blood at the hands of the state and call her a domestic terrorist — just wait until they face people like us. Now is the time for rage and revolution.

As we enter a new age of American imperialism, a more accurate interpretation of the Trump administration’s national security doctrine…

To a #NewYear in 2026. To the #Revolution.

Proud to contribute to this joint @frontlinepbs.bsky.social / @washingtonpost.com documentary on Israel’s 12-day war against Iran’s nuclear program. #IranNuclearProgram #IsraelStrikesIran #TargetedAssassinations

Extremism is not exclusive to one religion, to one culture, to one race—and neither is humanity and heroism. #BondiBeach #SydneyAttack

See my commentary in @usatoday.com with candid words on the state of the U.S. military under Hegseth and its ongoing strike campaign under the banner of “narcoterrorism.” #summaryexecution #narcoterrorism #boatstrikes #removehegseth

In my commentary for @theintercept.com, I have blunt words for current Air Force leadership: “Leaders like this are too focused on pleasing Hegseth and his obsession with lethality and ‘warrior culture’…. It’s disgusting.” #NuclearHolocaust #RemovetheRegime

“He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12-year-old playing Army…. He should have been fired after Signalgate, and then every single day after that.” Perhaps the best summation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and I completely agree with Senator Kelly. #WarCrimes #Impeach #Remove #Convict

In this critical moment, I view it as my moral obligation to provide any insight that can help bring truth and transparency to the American people.

My heart aches for the young soldiers recently ambushed in Washington, D.C. Just days before the shootings, I was back in D.C. with a couple of close friends and fellow combat veterans to peacefully march and protest in a stand against the fascism and criminality of this administration.

We are the Resistance. This weekend, along with two fellow warriors and brothers, I attended the #RemovetheRegime rally at the capital of the people where thousands came together in solidarity against the fascist takeover of our nation. Proudly, many fellow veterans also answered the call.

ICE/CBP in North Carolina: Perspective from the eyes of a middle school teacher

THIS is fascism. THIS is how democracy crumbles. We are far past the inflection point — this regime must be removed. #RemovetheRegime #AntiFascism #Democracy #Humanity

I mostly ignored this Veterans Day. Given the state of our nation and society and my own journey and experiences as a veteran, especially this past year, I struggle with the very meaning of my service and sacrifice and that of so many before me.

It was great to join highly respected friend and colleague Anthony Aguilar on the new Seriously Sara podcast along with host and first-generation Palestinian-American Sara Haddad. We had an important conversation on the atrocities in Gaza and America's complicity across political spectrums…

The truth hurts—but we must always look inward. Or else what does it mean to be the leader of the free world? My commentary for @theintercept.com on @amnesty.org’s report on the U.S. campaign in Yemen under Trump and Hegseth and the killing of 61 migrants in a U.S. strike.

Is Amazon complicit in the atrocities in Gaza? Even as they declare a commitment to preventing “adverse human rights impacts”? #Amazon #InternationalLaw #IsraelPalestine #GazaGenocide

I spoke with @theintercept.com on the ongoing U.S. strikes in the Caribbean now creeping into the Pacific, the Trump administration’s disregard for both the rule of law and restraint in the use of military force, and Hegseth’s dismantling of civilian harm mitigation efforts…

Netanyahu again: “A tragic mishap.” I provided analysis to Reuters and @washingtonpost.com in their extensive investigations into Israel’s strikes on Nasser Hospital that killed 22, including journalists and first responders… www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

I joined Rana Abtar on The Washington Report on Bloomberg’s Asharq الشرق News to talk about Gaza, the ceasefire, and recent efforts toward peace… www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ow-...

“Adolf Hitler is by all means the authentic God-given fighter for peace, and millions of people all over the world put their hopes in him as the Prince of Peace on earth.” — Swedish Parliamentarian and anti-fascist Erik Brandt, 1939 www.nobelpeacecenter.org/en/news/hitl...

There's a lot to break down in Hegseth's performative address to our military leadership and Trump's equally concerning rhetoric that followed. In my commentary for @politico.com, I focus on their many dangerous assertions on military use of force and rules of engagement.

In the wake of Netanyahu's recent address to the UN and his shameful deflections of Israel's conduct in Gaza, we will continue to bring light to the atrocities. Proud to have worked with @reuters.com in this comprehensive investigation into the August 25 strike on Nasser Hospital…

In my latest article exclusive to @zeteo.com, I tackle the legal and ethical entanglements in the expanded use of the U.S. military by the Trump administration and the implications of the recent strikes against alleged drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean.

To be clear, Charlie Kirk was an extremist, not simply an activist. He promoted hate, bigotry, conspiracy, and Christian nationalism. He was in the same circle as the most profound right-wing extremists in America and his organization embraced them…

If you are among those wondering, “Wait … is he talking about me?” I am. #VanquishExtremism #SoulofAmerica

Please see my updated analysis for @zeteo.com on the Trump administration’s rapid escalation of military force against the cartels — and the dangerous implications of this to the democratic principles for which we stand and that must define us.

In my commentary for this compelling report by @intercept.com, I lay out the strategic folly and dangerous implications of the escalating use of military force against drug cartels by the Trump administration. Read the full article: theintercept.com/2025/09/02/t...

You can’t get more American than this. A former Special Forces commander and special operations JTAC teaming up to fight for the oppressed. Green Beret Anthony Aguilar has faced threats and defamation to stand on the side of morality. I may know something about that…

In my latest article in Responsible Statecraft, I delve into the broadening use of the U.S. military by the Trump administration and the implications of this to our democracy…

A hard-hitting talking point from my recent BBC interview as the Israeli military only proves itself more brazen in its disregard for the laws of war and for humanity itself. #Gaza #PalestiniansareHumanBeings #IsraelWarCrimes #NoHumanityNoHonor

Proud and honored to support our Ukrainian friends as they welcomed us to a celebration of their culture and the home they left behind. Our hearts were full with fellowship, homemade Ukrainian food, and traditional dance 🇺🇦. #SlavaUkraini

In my latest article, I argue that it is the very character of Trump and those within this administration that we should be concerned with, first and foremost. Especially when it comes to those whom the American people must entrust with our nation's military power…

Watch and share my live interview with BBC News covering the disturbing investigation into the shooting of Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers in Gaza.

Please take a few minutes to listen to and share my recent interview with BBC Newsday on the important BBC investigation into child shootings by the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza. #PalestinianChildren #Gaza #Israel #CivilianHarm #InternationalLaw #ChildrenAreNotTerrorists
