It use to be that the best thing about being an American was being able to criticize any public figure with a call for war

I would love to think so but so far we have only seen catastrophic damage to civilians with zero repercussions to the administration

True Leadership requires a focus on social and economic progress for all without finger pointing. Offer solutions not scapegoats.

Killmeade deserves some real self-reflection to ponder why he ever even thought killing people was a solution to a problem.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

Whatever you want to call it — the current U.S. right wing policies align with Hitler’s policies.

They don’t care about their own hypocrisy. That is the point. And journalist refuse to call it out.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different. Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

If a president is impeached and removed from office, his administration is not also removed. Just the impeached and convicted president. US Constitution Art. II Section 4. Everyone must be impeached and tried on their own separate counts.

Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!

In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So… “…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”

FIFA is considering moving the World Cup games to Canada in response to escalating fascism in the US. Good. They should. And the Olympics should follow suit. Refuse to normalize or reward fascism. The US is not a safe place to visit & we should all vote with our dollar and go elsewhere.

Trump threatening to punish teams unless they bring back names like “Redskins” and “Indians” isn’t tough talk...it’s a neon sign blinking, “I’m petty, racist, and obsessed with forcing the past down your throat.” This ain’t about tradition. It’s about domination. Pure and simple.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
