Trump called the NATO summit a display of “tremendous love.” The reality was deep divisions over military spending, Iran, Ukraine, Greenland, and NATO’s future. While leaders poured billions more into weapons, peace activists outside called for diplomacy and common security instead of endless militarization.

At the site of an American strike in a densely populated residential neighborhood in eastern Tehran on 3/9

40 were killed here with 8 missiles, including a family of 12

I found children's clothes in the rubble

Some 40-50,000 residential units were damaged in Tehran alone

Very moving scene here at the Imamzadeh Saleh Shrine in Tajrish, North Tehran, where some of the martyrs of the 12 Day War in June 2025 are buried, including nuclear scientists and their families. Another permanent reminder for the country of the violence wrought by U.S. & Israel against then Iranian people…

🇵🇸 Jeremy Scahill says Donald Trump is not an aberration but “an extroverted representation of the most extreme and violent strands” of U.S. imperialism, arguing the current moment reflects the “dismantling of American mythologies” rather than a break with the past.

Speaking at the Global Decolonization Forum in Istanbul, Scahill said Barack Obama was the “chief normalizer” who bridged the post-9/11 “world is a battlefield” doctrine with the present.

On Gaza, Scahill said Israel’s push for Palestinian disarmament is an attempt to achieve “what they couldn’t achieve on the battlefield” - a “total surrender of the Palestinian liberation cause.”

“Their bombs, their technology… cannot compel that surrender,” he stated.

Palestinian goalkeeper Saleem Al-Ashqar was shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza. Married just five months ago, he leaves behind a wife expecting their first child. The Palestinian Football Association says more than 1,000 Palestinian athletes have been killed since October 2023.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israeli forces killed 54 Palestinian children and teenagers in the occupied West Bank in 2025, the highest rate since Israel occupied the territory in 1967, Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem says.

World’s most corrupt regime.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: Your financial disclosure shows you had a very lucrative year last year. What message does this send to average Americans?

TRUMP: Well, you know, I don't get involved. We have funds that run my money

Q: But you are benefitting. We're talking billions of dollars

TRUMP: Well I made a lot of money before I became president. You saw the cash.

This is why they toppled the government in Kiev in 2014, despite knowing it would likely trigger war and knowing that only a small minority of Ukrainians wanted NATO membership. This is why they have sabotaged every peace deal for 12 years. This is why NATO chants that weapons are the path to peace, and basic diplomacy has been boycotted since 2022. This is why they pump billions into a corrupt system that keeps an extremely unpopular Zelensky in power and hunt for Ukrainian conscripts. This is why they pretend Ukraine is winning even as all evidence indicates otherwise. This is why we are not allowed to debate the overwhelming evidence of NATO's role without smears, intimidation, and censorship. The goal was never peace; it was to set up Ukrainians as cannon fodder to weaken a strategic rival of NATO.

That time when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before Indian President Modi as a gesture of respect.
Then, at the last moment, the United States suddenly abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to wait and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had blown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear......

These 12 Republican senators sent ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan a letter stating:

"If you target Israel, we will target you and your family."

Karim Khan shockingly exposed whole Trump’s administration 🔥 and yet no one is talking about it. Democracy 😭

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan stated that Israel threatened his wife and children if he continued pursuing arrest warrants against its leaders accused of committing genocide.

In an interview with Al Arabiya English, Khan said that a 5,000-page report issued by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services cleared him of any wrongdoing. He added that the ICC Bureau, the court’s main oversight body, appointed three judges to review the report, and they confirmed on 21 March 2026 that there was no evidence indicating any misconduct.

He also said that he had not fully understood the extent of influence held by governments and states he described as aligned with the US and Israel, noting that 12 US senators contacted him and threatened his family if he continued pursuing action against Israel.

[Mohamadou Cisse @Mohamadu]

Shameful lawlessness.

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan blew the lid off Trump and Netanyahu 🔥👏

Khan: "They threatened ICC judges, UN staff, and my family over Israel cases.

🇺🇸 12 U.S. senators sent a letter saying 'Go after 🇮🇱 Israel and we go after you and your family.

Then came sanctions, frozen accounts, travel bans. It is deeply dangerous for states to bully international justice."

Finally someone said this. What a COURAGE this man has 💪 🫡

The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Venezuela has surpassed 589.

Almost 3,000 people have been injured.

U.S. sanctions are making survival and recovery difficult, as medicine, foreign revenue, and imports are severely restricted.

The U.S. must lift them now.

Israel has dropped over 200 bombs on Lebanon in less than 24 hours — murdering more than 83 civilians.

This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

Four members of the Qalaji family were killed in an Israeli strike on Sohmor in Lebanon’s western Bekaa on Saturday, Cradle Media reported.

The victims: Batoul Qalaji, her young son Ali, and her parents. Colleagues remembered Batoul as a single mother who worked multiple jobs to support her child and care for her elderly parents.
