By rallying behind process-based critiques, the Democrats are refusing to stand against the war on moral grounds.

Congress created a special Pentagon office to prevent the accidental targeting of civilians but it was dramatically scaled back by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth soon after he took office last year.

The American military industry is a planet-killer.

Star Trek voyager season 5 episode think tank is highly interesting ! If we look at think tanks in today’s political debates, this episode once again proves that Star Trek was and is ahead of its time !

Attacks by Iran have already nearly halted the flow of oil through the vital waterway as commercial ship crews fear being hit by missiles, drones or mines. n.pr/3OXvskR

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets. Always follow the money.

Hi friends, As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

I rewatched this video for Holocaust Memorial Day. Conspiracy theories are clearly dangerous, and normal people are susceptible to committing horrible acts of violence. We also shouldn't think of whatever is happening today having simple causes. youtu.be/RPCKzgITCRI

The Green Party of Michigan condemns the murder of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. This was the inevitable result of actively encouraging an unwelcome, militarized force to act with absolute immunity in our communities. #AbolishIce www.gp.org/gpmi_on_the_...

Green Party Condemns Trump Attack On Venezuela The Green Party condemns the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President and his wife and demands their immediate release. We strongly oppose this illegal act of war which violates both the US Constitution and international law. www.gp.org/green_party_...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Here's my first chess game of 2026

🌟 America Walks is fighting back with something stronger than money: people power. 👟 But organizing, training, and supporting advocates takes resources. If we mobilize our side, we can build walkable, affordable communities everywhere. Show your support by donating today ➡️ buff.ly/gyMNfnQ

Walkable communities are healthier, safer, and better for local businesses... so why do our streets still prioritize speed over people? Because the road-building lobby spent $267 million lobbying on transportation in one year — and politicians listened. 💰🛣️

What we do in 2026 will matter for years to come. The walkability movement is up against a lot... America Walks works to empower a national network to advocate for funding the safe, walkable infrastructure communities want and need. Consider donating: buff.ly/ABbkxOf

I'm not shocked at how redacted the Epstein files are. I'm shocked at how incompetent at redacting things this administration is.
