Minneapolis based writer, anti-duopoly, socialist, degrowth. Wars are non-solutions. If the killing of innocents is wrong somewhere, it's wrong everywhere. No flag but the human flag.
Except in this case Hegseth is sharing the illegal bombing of the poorest country in the world w/o congressional approval, that we are not at war with, where numerous civilians, women and children are being killed and maimed, and the attacks are solving nothing, just making things worse.

I was raised evangelical, left that cult. But many relatives still follow that dogma. It's difficult to maintain even civil relationships with people who think you (and so many others) deserve to go the hell! Since so many are racist, shouldn't they ponder: Do racists get to go to heaven?

Attacking Hegseth for his lack of competency is one thing. But we need to look at the policy: they are bombing the poorest country in the world w/o congressional approval. We are not at war with Yemen. Many innocents are being killed in these illegal attacks, and they solve nothing.

Leaking aside, why are you not questioning why we are bombing the poorest country in the world w/o congressional approval, that we are not at war with? Many innocents are being killed along with alleged "bad guys" and the increased violence solves nothing. This is the REAL story.

The Democrats handed Trump to us with their failed campaign, hiding Joe's deterioration, and funding genocide. Both parties are hopelessly corrupt and sold out to the donor class. Real education needs to be about our failed 2 party system.

There is an isolationist faction in the Republican party that have an honest desire to end the carnage, by (gasp) talking to another world leader.This we call “diplomacy” not being a Russian stooge. A ceasefire is needed, not just for Gaza. End this proxy war! Google Prof. Mearsheimer for facts.

It is evidence of a profoundly sick society that people have to beg for help day in and day out on GoFundme because their govt. tax dollars and the corrupt two party system cannot take care of basic needs like health care and housing.
