Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

I'm not unsympathetic to students protesting America helping Israel commit genocide of Palestinians. They were right. I am also not sympathetic to those same students staying quiet in their dorms when Donald Trump is endorsing ethic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.
