Iran has executed at least 900 people this year alone. Let that sink in. The arbitrary executions must stop: euronews.com/2026/08/19/iran…

Susan Sarandon says some agencies still have her blacklisted and are telling filmmakers not to hire her following her vocal support for Palestine.

This week the Senate will vote to merge our military’s most sensitive & secretive capabilities with Israel. This merger is buried within the massive NDAA and they’re hoping you won’t notice. Merging our military with a foreign country is a treasonous betrayal of our sovereignty. Call your senators & tell them to vote no on the NDAA until the merger w/ Israel (section 219) is taken out. Tell them that we will never support merging our military with a foreign nation. The senate switchboard number is: (202) 224-3121.

From @tparsi Substack: « After decades of failed wars, trillions of dollars squandered, hundreds of thousands of lives lost, and America’s global standing diminished, [the warmongers] increasingly rely on intimidation rather than persuasion. They will continue to attack me, my colleagues, and others who challenge their thirst for war. And who knows, they may even succeed in deporting me. But good luck deporting an idea whose time has come. The era of endless war is ending, and no amount of censorship, cancellation, or political intimidation will stop the growing demand for a foreign policy rooted in restraint, diplomacy, and common sense. » open.substack.com/pub/tritap…

If you want an example of how insulated and unaccountable the U.S. foreign policy elite is, well, we’re living through it right now. Some of the same folks who assured us that deposing Saddam Hussein and installing a pro-U.S. democracy in Iraq would be cheap and easy are now, a quarter-century later, lecturing us on the importance of defeating Iran (whatever that means). And they’re selling the same snake oil they did back then by promising a new, transformative Middle East and arguing that the war will force adversaries to respect U.S. power again. You wonder why the U.S. commits the same mistakes over and over? There’s your answer. We have very short memories as a country. We refuse to look at history, let alone actually heed the lessons of the past. We operate on the same piss poor assumptions, continue to delude ourselves into believing the U.S. military power can will things into existence and consistently underestimate the capabilities of the enemy. And like clockwork, we fail to anticipate the consequences of our own actions. When things don’t go as planned, we put the blame on somebody else (like those entitled Europeans). I’m not sure what accountability would entail. But what I do know is that doing the same thing and listening to the same people will lead to the same dumb results.
