#PeaceIsTheWay: The best missile defense is actually diplomacy, which is incomprehensible to Empire these days. They still believe in a technological solution to their own illogical terrorism. It's like someone who builds more and more elaborate bear-protection suits, and never once considers not poking bears in the first place.

#CivilianCasualtiesViolateGeneva: Since leaving the military Fritz has worked in anti-war activism as part of the Eisenhower Media Network, a group of former military officers critical of U.S. foreign policy. He is also the author of the forthcoming book, “Deadly Betrayal: The Truth About Why the United States Invaded Iraq.” Fritz said that he and other former U.S. military officers who had already been critical of U.S. policy in the region are angered by what they are seeing unfold in Gaza. They now believe that the U.S. government is assisting in the perpetration of war crimes in Gaza.
“They have the capacity to do precision bombing, but they are conducting indiscriminate bombing.”

U.S. Chooses Genocide Over Diplomacy in the Middle East

A U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East is long overdue.

Instead #GenocideJoeKnows is in bed with MAGA for a deal to sell out immigrants, refugees, and people of color in return for funding wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. slam the border gates against those seeking asylum, restrict legal immigration, push the country closer to the fascist vision #TFG laid out in 2016, or what Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said would mark a return to the #RacialQuotaLaws of the 1920s.

Why doesn't President Biden seem to care?

The former president and leading Republican presidential candidate has gone full Hitler on immigration, telling his followers that foreigners from Latin America, Africa and Asia are "poisoning the blood of our country" — and nobody among the Democrats is fighting back.

#AccessoriesToGenocide: The smattering of #publiccomments was just a few of around 250 made Monday that were largely far more mainstream
In scrambling to distance themselves from the comments in the video, the lawmakers also shifted the focus from Oakland’s actual resolution, which offers mostly a neutral call for peace.
