I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Charlie Kirk supported free speech.

When President Trump was flying to Alaska to meet Vladimir Putin, he said the goal was a ceasefire. But after they talked, Trump aligned himself with Putin and downplayed the need for a truce.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

How can the world stand by and allow this? We need to separate antisemitism from a critical appraisal of Israel's political policies. This is horrifying.
Food-distribution points in Gaza have practically become death traps, Hussein Ibish argues. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation may not have intended to create these conditions, but it now perpetuates them without correction and with full awareness.
Food Aid in Gaza Has Become a Horror
In the scramble for sustenance, Palestinians are gunned down for no reason, with no excuse.
