The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is.
It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

The Republican Party has placed the nation’s wealth and power in the hands of a giant baby.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Really hope USAmericans do something. Learn from the French, anything. Please get your country back.
Citizens need to get off their ass and 'do something.' Stop waiting for those who don't have the majority power in Congress to fix the mess that ignorant voters and non voters made.

So much strong evidence tells us that education is such a strong marker for health in the short and long term. Yet policy treats these two things separately.

How many times do we have to be right about what's going on before everyone recognizes the link with the huge conflicts of interest held by the public health and infection control leaders minimizing the impacts of airborne diseases like flu and COVID, and pretending nothing can be done about them?

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
