It seems quaint what with all the fascism and American concentration camps and Zionist insanity … but I still get excited for the Nobel Prize for Literature every year. I don’t have a guess since Paul Auster has died. 😢

I don’t think the internet is the problem. I think guns and war and corrupt capitalism and white supremacy are the problem. The Internet is part of our lives and a constructive force for most of us.

War propaganda is a billion-dollar industry. The antidote? Independent, people-powered media that exposes militarism + amplifies peace. WBW produces it daily.

“Empire of AI” by Karen Hao- Excellent and important critique of the “colonialist logic” of OpenAI as well as the leadership failures of both Altman and Sutskever. Everybody should read this book. www.penguin.co.uk/books/460331...

What are the ethical stakes of the 21st century collapse into global fascism? Well, they are massive, and my Italian friend and I could barely scratch the surface in this 90-minute podcast convo. worldbeyondwar.org/ideals-and-r...

Sudan’s army is torturing detainees to death, says a human rights group. With “execution chambers” in Khartoum and mass arrests, both the army and RSF continue to commit atrocities. Silence is complicity!

The UK is preparing to recognize Palestine because the crisis in Gaza is “intolerable.” U.S., Germany, Canada, Australia: How intolerable does it need to get for you? buff.ly/LDtCAQJ

The most significant part of this in-depth conversation is at the end where Roger Waters states his belief that humanity will somehow defeat the evils of war. I believe this too. It’s why we work so hard. worldbeyondwar.org/war-abolishe...

"They figured out a lot about propaganda and controlling the mainstream media and how they can get people to do anything they want because we’re all malleable. Well – we’re not all malleable!” Roger Waters at @worldbeyondwar Abolisher Awards 2025 worldbeyondwar.org/war-abolishe...

War is planned, funded, and normalized. It takes real work to make it seem inevitable. It also takes real work to dismantle it. TODAY, we honor 3 people doing that work. Join us! buff.ly/Ghycmhr

Every truly evil person has had a mindset that boils down to "people suck." It justifies anything under the guise of "They'd do the same to me!" So if you feel a "people suck" mindset seeping into your brain, you should react the way you would to a smoke alarm at 3 am. You are in danger!

Cuomo is a sexual predator, a nepo-baby, a Trump-style political bully, and a rabid Christian Zionist with AIPAC stamped on his forehead. Let’s hope Mamdani can fight all the money that will be backing this typical American politician’s latest pathetic attempt at a comeback.

The state of New Mexico is suing the US Air Force over its refusal to comply with orders to address extremely high levels of PFAS pollution stemming from its base, which has tainted drinking water for tens of thousands of people, damaged crops, and poisoned dairy cows. buff.ly/Z9rJCiV

How many problems we can solve, how much our lives will improve, how free we can be - once we become anational. worldbeyondwar.org/podcast-epis... Podcast Episode 73: Becoming Anational - World BEYOND War

The great ethical philosopher Iris Murdoch wrote that our most fundamental moral choice is simply the choice of who we pay attention to. So which human beings do we pay attention to, and which do we not? worldbeyondwar.org/podcast-epis...

In which I propose that the word “anational” should be widely used, like “atheist”. I don’t believe in nations. Do you? worldbeyondwar.org/podcast-epis...

Zohran Mamdani just won the primary in New York City for the same reason Kamala Harris lost in 2024: voters are absolutely desperate for a candidate who will tell the truth about Israel’s apartheid and genocide. It is THE issue for voters. Unlike our politicians, we have morals.

New York voters rejected an establishment Dem just because he’s a sexual predator who represents corporate interests and lies about Israel’s war crimes. First good news around here in a while. Mayor Mamdani sounds good to me!

New Bomb Capable Of Creating 1,500 New Terrorists In Single Blast theonion.com/new-bom...

I’m a Jew in New York. Despite the nonsense you’re likely to hear on MSNBC, CNN and Fox News, people like me don’t worry about Iran having nukes. Least of our concerns. We are worried that evil war criminals like Netanyahu and Trump will kill us all in a foolish nuclear war.

Today, the UN Human Rights Office released new data related to the number of people killed in conflict in 2024. The findings are sobering: 1 civilian every 12 minutes. 1 human rights defender every 14 hours. Up to 48,384 civilians documented in total. Read more: bit.ly/3HMrQ1k

War with Iran would be a military, political, and humanitarian disaster. We urge Congress: reject escalation, back diplomacy. There’s no path to peace through bombs. The public wants talks, not another $100 billion war of choice. buff.ly/iouPEP8

I tune into CNN, MSNBC and Fox News on cable so I can quickly observe US/corporate public opinion at its most banal. All 3 channels seem absolutely gleeful at the prospect of a big new war. They are absolutely trying to push Trump to make a suicidal decision to bomb Iran.

The #G7 statement reads like a blank check for more violence. It talks about protecting civilians, then excuses the very bombs that are killing them. We need #diplomacy, not escalation. Ceasefire now.

Re-upping this, as this drunk-driving empire continues to destroy our lives and threatens to kill us all by starting yet another pointless, endless Middle East war. worldbeyondwar.org/how-to-unplu...

Freedom of speech in USA is a joke. worldbeyondwar.org/a-u-s-bank-c...

Even despite my extremely low opinion of USA and Israel’s greedy and incompetent governments - I’m shocked at how incompetent they are right now as they declare a new war on Iran that will never end and will bring vast misery and death to all of us.

World War Three sucks so far.

Definitely funny. Would be funnier if Palantir were less actually murderous and vile.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

And you know I’m glad I mentioned Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny with regard to Israel’s lies because it needs to be pointed out that 99% of USA’s loudest Zionists are from Christian, not Jewish backgrounds. Let’s start talking about this murderous antisemitism.

250 calories a day. That’s what people in Gaza are surviving on—if they’re lucky. That’s what Mike Ferner ate for 20 days in NYC before collapsing. He lived. Thousands won’t. This is what genocide by starvation looks like.

The most gullible humans in the world are the ones who believed Russia would have a pro-USA regime change in 2022 and now believe Iran will embrace the west because of Israel’s bombs. These cherubic innocents also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.

As Netanyahu and Trump/Rubio’s blitzkrieg in Iran continues, let’s remember that these so-called leaders are incompetent as well as corrupt as they push us to World War 3.

I have friends who “avoid politics” 😑 but are into health and science who are now shocked into action by RFK. We dealt with the same irrational incompetence when Anthony Blinken and senile Biden committed USA to a proxy war in Ukraine and a planned genocide in Gaza. It’s horrifying, isn’t it?

Thought for the day: there’s been a lot of talk about how “apartheid” describes Israel (as it sure does). But why do we rarely use this word to describe USA? Undocumented people are a cruelly persecuted segment of our population - oppressed and punished by law. USA = apartheid.

LOL they’re scared of @worldbeyondwar and @codepink.bsky.social

All eyes on Los Angeles and the Mediterranean Sea. #resistance #courage
