    Not a single corporate or progressive report on yet another mass shooter being a veteran, but reports: "Navy Veteran Among 5 Victims of Wisconsin Shooting [by veteran]"

    I spoke with on Talk Nation Radio about , mobilizing labour movement opposition to the Canada-Saudi arms deal, and the need for a just transition for arms industry workers. Thanks David!

    Remember when you cheered on these very same sanctions to grandstand before the Russiagate-crazed “resistance”? Cynical doesn’t even begin to describe it. https://t.co/MKQhoOx9gJ

    Now House Republicans are stalling to stop this bill from becoming law. Who are they protecting: Trump or his buddies in the Kremlin?

    "'War Is A Lie'... is a handbook of sorts, an engaging, always informative manual that can be used to debunk future lies before the wars they’re deployed to justify have any chance to begin." cc

    The way endless war (the maximum possible infliction of injustice) is so frequently dressed in the language of social justice, is the greatest proof for me that (as has said so many times including in the title of his book) "War Is A Lie"

    This is a good point. Also, ending US starvation sanctions would be racist, withdrawing from Iraq would be Islamophobic, slashing the military budget would be antisemitic, ending the new cold war would be homophobic, no longer backing tyrannical dictators would be transphobic.

    Read the full reply of OPCW Inspectors A & B to their managers’ attempt to discredit them. They were on the ground in Syria to investigate Douma, found that the incident was staged to trigger war & are now pushing back against the campaign to destroy them.

    The war on Afghanistan is only the longest if the indigenous people of North America aren't real people. The war on Afghanistan is now supposedly ending in 14 months -- which is itself longer than 99% of wars. So, um, Longest War Is Ended, yay!

    . needs to make it clear to NATO and Erdogan that the United States will not be dragged into a war with Russia by the aggressive, Islamist, expansionist dictator of Turkey, a so-called “NATO” ally.

    US sanctions have prevented Iran from buying Coronavirus testing kits, allowing the disease to spread unhindered. Sanctions are doing what they’re designed to do: kill.

    A few weeks ago Warren said she'd never accept Super PAC money. Now she's got the biggest Super PAC after Trump. This is a stunning reversal from someone who - up until recently - regularly denounced dark money and corruption in politics. After this, how can anyone trust Warren?
