"If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don't care for human beings."
-Nelson Mandela
“Netanyahu, who is a psychopath, has been saying for 30 years: “Iran is weeks away from getting nuclear weapons.”
“He is a vulgar blatant genocidal liar.”
“I hope I’m being clear: we are dealing with something absolutely dangerous that is running this country.”
—Jeffrey Sachs
The fact that US First Lady Melania Trump chaired a UN Security Council meeting on "children in conflict" while the US and Israel killing children in Lebanon and Gaza, and murdered 165 schoolgirls in Iran, is the most hypocritical thing we have seen in the history of the Security Council.
🚨BREAKING NEWS
American economist Jeffrey Sachs:
"Trump is a complete disgrace to our nation.
Congress is effectively dead. They're all on the payroll of the Zionist lobby.
150 schoolgirls were bombed by Israel. Nobody even talks about that."
George Galloway:
The massacre of 167 girls, aged 7 to 12, at an elementary school in Iran is the greatest atrocity committed by the United States since the Vietnam War.
It is the largest mass killing of schoolgirls ever recorded in world history.
Yet no one is talking about it
Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.
Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.
American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.
Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.
Instead of confronting the deepening crisis facing ordinary Americans, Donald Trump is pouring billions upon billions of public money into arming Israel with some of the most advanced and devastating weapons ever manufactured, weapons that are being used in a war that has brought unimaginable suffering to the Palestinian people - fitting perfectly true meaning of a genocide.
At the same time, the United States spends staggering sums maintaining hundreds of military bases across the globe, projecting power in the name of “security” while entrenching an imperial agenda of military and economic domination.
And yet at home, millions of working-class Americans live from paycheck to paycheck. Healthcare costs rise while coverage declines. Communities are hollowed out by unemployment, addiction, and violent crime born of desperation. Schools crumble. Infrastructure decays. Families ration medication. Workers juggle two or three jobs and still cannot breathe.
Imagine what even a fraction of those billions could do if redirected toward healthcare, education, housing, public transport, and decent wages. Those resources could transform working-class living standards overnight. They could rebuild cities, guarantee dignity in retirement, and secure a future for the next generation.
Instead, the priorities are clear: weapons over welfare, domination over dignity, war over wellbeing.
That is not leadership. It is a moral failure.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
This Trump–Netanyahu war is unconstitutional and violates international law.
It endangers the lives of U.S. troops and people across the region.
We’ve lived through the lies of Vietnam and Iraq.
No more endless wars. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately.
Trump said we had to attack Iran because we can‘t allow it “to have a nuclear weapon.” Really?
This is the same president who, in June, said: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.”
Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Another lie. Another war.
