"Trump's military parade will not accomplish a single thing. It's a microcosm of this administration's bigger budget priorities. We don't need more money for weapons and war, and we certainly don't need to line the pockets of CEOs at the for-profit contractors that do dirty work

NEW: While millions of Americans face hunger, Trump's big, brutal bill would kick millions off food aid to hand trillions to the wealthy — and TRIPLE annual spending on mass deportation.

Today, a person who works full-time for minimum wage cannot afford a safe place to live almost anywhere in the country. A year since SCOTUS ruled homelessness can be criminalized, it's never been clearer that what we really need is bold housing policy. otherwords.org/criminalizing-…

NEW: As is true with Gaza, we in the U.S. bear a particular responsibility to try to stop war with Iran — because Washington is supplying the weapons and preventing accountability for Israel’s wars. IPS scholars Phyllis Bennis and Khury PS in Common Dreams: commondreams.org/opinion/stop-i…

NEW: Trump's military parade today will not only raise alarms over growing autocracy — it will produce as much planet-heating pollution in a few hours as 300 homes do in a year. 𝕯𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆 𝕹𝖔𝖔𝖗 with new IPS research in The Guardian: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

As I watch with horror the ravages of Israel's ongoing war on Iran, sharing the poem I wrote as a 16-year old recently-arrived immigrant about the Iran-Iraq War that I lived through as a child. A war that started by U.S.-supported Saddam's attack on Iran. Say NO to war on Iran!
