So, it turns out it was mostly little kids in Beirut who were denying Iranian women the rights that U.S. Republicans dream of denying women. So, you know, Israel had to kill them.
For three days in Venezuela, we stood with communities impacted by the Jan. 3 attack, listened to children who survived missiles, visited communes rebuilding under blockade, joined a Caribbean peace flotilla, and called for an end to sanctions! #HandsOffVenezuela
Democratic voters oppose a Trump war on Iran. Party leaders respond with concern about “process.” War doesn’t hinge on better consultation; it runs on authorization and funding. If you oppose escalation, cut the blank checks. www.commondreams.org/opinion/dems...
Our 2026 Virtual Film Festival takes on the growing crackdown on dissent. First up: Boycott (2021), a gripping look at anti-#BDS laws across 37 U.S. states and the fight for free speech.
Watch the trailer, join us live on March 14. Repression is rising. So are we. Get tickets. buff.ly/Im2nJkZ
Three days in Venezuela showed us something U.S. headlines won’t: organized communities rebuilding in weeks, fishermen launching a peace flotilla where missiles struck, poetry and music rejecting the Monroe Doctrine. Militarism isolates. People-to-people solidarity breaks that script!
After 5 days of hostilities between the United States, Israel, and Iran, reported casualties include nearly 800 people killed in Iran and 50 in Lebanon, with attacks affecting nuclear facilities, cities, diplomatic compounds, and energy infrastructure.
STOP THIS MADNESS! buff.ly/dRHDMd8
About 46,000 U.S. troops and a network of air, naval, and logistics bases stretch across the Middle East.
Washington calls the presence “defensive.” The region experiences the consequences differently.
Spain declined to let U.S. bases on its territory be used for strikes on Iran and called the war “unjustifiable and dangerous.” That decision should be normal in international politics, not treated as defiance. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...
So timely and relevant. Share this far and wide.
I feel like there's something outrageous Trump is doing that the No Kings Rallies have forgotten, but I can't quite put my finger on it. #NoKings
The US is killing protesters in Pakistan for failing to understand that it is killing people in Iran to prevent their being killed by Iran, even as US commanders say they're actually doing it to bring Jesus and an apocalypse. Happy morning!
Talk World Radio: Norman Solomon on the War on Iran
AUDIO: Talk World Radio is recorded on Zoom. Here is this week's video and all the videos on Youtube.
This has been buried. Your average U.S. person who tries to stay informed believes (ludicrously) that the Democrats have done everything to prevent war. capitalandempire.com/p/top-democr...
Hey guys, great news! Modern human females prefer Neanderthal men. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/s...
And I secretly think they'd be worth a tryout as Congress Members.
Look what this psychotic media outlet considers the death toll
So many dead things:
-Iranian school girls,
-Congress,
-The United Nations.
Is anybody alive out there?
THANK YOU TO SPAIN FROM THE U.S. PEOPLE: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/w...
There is a reason that most countries polled in Dec 2013 by Gallup called the U.S. the greatest threat to peace in the world, and why Pew found that viewpoint increased in 2017. But can you imagine any U.S. polling company having the decency to publish such a poll today -- and what it would say?
Stop Trump’s New Mass-Murder Spree
The latest location where Trump has given the orders to murder people is Iran. Remember a couple of months back when establishment U.S. lawyers and human rights groups were admitting that Trump’s attacks on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific were nothing other…
“Major combat operations” against Iran risk igniting a regional war that will devastate civilians. Escalation will not bring security, only more loss and displacement.
We urge an immediate halt to strikes and a turn to sustained diplomacy. buff.ly/Ql3559f
The United States and Israel have launched a completely unprovoked, illegal, immoral and barbaric war on Iran. Your representative and senators need to hear from you now! rootsaction.org/no-war-on-iran
