"Democracies remained healthy ‌only when they were rooted in moral values. Lacking this foundation, (democracy) risks becoming either a majoritarian tyranny or a mask for ‌the dominance of economic and ‌technological elites." - Pope Leo.

Per the Jerusalem Post: A new Walla and Maariv poll found that many Israelis are unconvinced by claims of victory over Iran, with broad dissatisfaction over the war’s outcome and mixed views on political leadership. They too are seeking through the lies and madness.

The blood thirsty Israeli regime is using the ceasefire with Iran to unleashed brutal devastation on Lebanon. Heartless!

Anyone who read the 10 point plan knows that Lebanon is part of the deal. It is 3 our of 10.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

81% of Spain's citizens indicated that Trump is a significant threat to world peace, followed by 79.2% for Putin and 71.2% for Netanyahu. They are all conservatives little men running from something.

The UAE demands free passage through the Strait of Hormuz and a cap on Iran's nuclear & missile programs — yet they're simultaneously fueling death and destruction in Sudan. The audacity of selective geopolitics.

Including cancer research for kids. Total dirt bags.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

Iran's term for permanently ending the war include a long-term guarantee that the US and Israel will not attack Iran again and that any ceasefire apply to Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine; reparation for damages done in Iran; sanction relief; and to retain control of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

A 2024-25 Arab Opinion Index found that 80% of respondents across 15 Arab countries agreed that “the Palestinian cause is a collective Arab cause”, not solely Palestinian. The same survey found that 44% viewed Israel as the greatest threat to Arab security and 21% named the US, and Iran at 6%.

Tr@mp says US and Iran has a good conversation to end the war. Iran say they have not been in negotiation with the US. Who do you believe? 🤔

XBecause when America goes to war, Black Americans have learned from history that the sacrifices are rarely shared equally." Blavity News

Fox Business is now claiming Iran is using Chinese missiles to attack American ships — a convenient narrative that ignores Iran's own well-documented missile development program. It's an attempt to redirect attention away from Iran's real technological capabilities. Don't fall for the deflection. 👀

It's worth noting: the nations loudest in condemning Iran's response to what many consider an illegal Israeli/US attack are the same ones with significant US military presence. Bias in foreign policy commentary is real.

"He would let us down whenever it suited him," he continued on LCI, before stating, "On the Titanic, it appears the captain wanted to sell tickets off cheaply for the dinner-dance after hitting the iceberg. It's not the moment to be buying a cut-price ticket for the Titanic." Michel Yakovleff,

All the Western news headlines are claiming that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran stated that would be the case should America attack them. America went ahead and attacked Iran, unprovoked, so isn't America responsible for closing the Strait?

The war on Iran has put US allies between a rock and a hard place. The US is seen as a rogue superpower, is erratic and untrustworthy, embarking on imperial adventures that in actuality are destabilizing the world.

The UN, IMF & World Bank weren't designed to liberate the Global South — they were designed by the same powers that colonized it. Until governance reflects the voices of the people most affected, these institutions will keep serving the few at the expense of the many.

What's the use of the United Nations when it can't enforce its own laws?

The news media is quick to cover Iranian aggression against Gulf states, yet conspicuously silent when Israel is on the receiving end of the same. A curious double standard.

Spain's PM Sanchez: “We will not be complicit in something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests simply out of fear of reprisals from someone. And the zinger. "It's unacceptable that some presidents use the fog of war to cover up their failures".

Four different explanations given for the attach on Iran. 1. Freedom for the people of Iran. 2. To put an end to the regime's nuclear program that was supposedly eliminated last June. 3. Regime change or change in leadership. 4. An imminent threat of attacks on U.S. bases.

It is being reported that the US and Israel are striking Iran, but Iran is 'attacking'.

​Hard to stay optimistic about the news today. You can't spend years building a wall of weapons around a country and then play the "surprised" card when they defend themselves, as we are reading from Gulf allies and GB. The double standard is loud. 📢

Forever wars...the gods of the world.

How can warmongers unaliving other warmongers create peace? They will always create war.

So why not pick a flight with China?

Struck a deal to contain Iran's nuclear program forever. Didn't go to war in Iran. DID IT ALL IN A TAN SUIT.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

Like Israel, does Iran has a right to defend itself?

BREAKING: Trump launches attack on Iran, and Donald Trump still hasn’t released all of the Epstein files. Tell your representatives: don’t lose focus, and keep the pressure on!

Power=might=right?

The same recycled empire-driven world order continues to harm and devastate Black and Brown communities, upheld by systems rooted in white supremacy and a long history of violence and exploitation.

The groove continues because of this.

atlantablackstar.com/2026/02/04/f... Need I say more.

The good news: Substacker Brian Beutler recently argued that social signaling is generating opposition to Trump’s worst policies, as more and more ordinary people see them as shameful and heinous in the most basic moral and human terms.

You had the choice of the Constitution or the criminal. And for some reason, they took the criminal. So they shouldn’t be surprised at what they’re getting. He’s a convicted sex offender...he don’t pay taxes. He’s a draft dodger...yet he stands out there and preaches patriotism.” Jesse Ventura

We like to think we moved past the age of conquest and brutality, but did we? Or did the rich and powerful just trade their swords for spreadsheets and better PR? Same game, different packaging

The Right before: Guns are not the problem. The Right after: Carrying a legal gun to a protest is the problem.

Bob Marley... "You will never find Justin in a world where criminals make the rules".

Remember that knowledge was forbidden in the bible. Knowledge is power.

The world is noisy right now, but the universe responds to our internal frequency. Choosing to radiate love and positivity despite the rumors of war and threats. Let’s make this year a collective exhale.

Strive to be fearless when faced with danger.
