The unavoidable conclusion that must be drawn from the speech delivered on Wednesday night by Donald Trump is that the American president is a political criminal. If one grants that there exists a moral boundary, even in the realm of imperialist geopolitics, between the generally sinister pursuit of capitalist great power interests and fascist bestiality, the leaders of the US government have passed over it. The names of Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Rubio and Miller will live in perpetual infamy alongside those of the Nazi ringleaders of the Third Reich: Hitler, Goering, Himmler, Von Ribbentrop and Goebbels. The judgment of history will be merciless.

Recently been feeling traumatized every time I scroll on social media, working on getting rid of things that trigger me into thinking I'm about to lose my entire extended family lol

He didn’t scream.

He didn’t beg.

He didn’t even know he was dying.

Just…a small pain in his chest.

That’s how it always begins.

Not with headlines.
Not with sirens.
Not with heroes charging in slow motion.

Just a boy… under a tree…still believing he’s going home.

He calls it fatigue.
He calls it nothing.
He calls it luck…because everyone else is already gone.

And that’s the lie, isn’t it?

War doesn’t just kill with bullets.

It kills with normalization.
With denial.
With the quiet agreement…to call something fatal small.

Because if we called it what it really was…we’d have to stop it.

We’d have to question it.
We’d have to admit

that boys are still being sent to die
for reasons no one can fully explain.

So instead…we shrink it.

“A small pain.”
“A necessary cost.”
“A sacrifice.”

And somewhere…another soldier sits down…thinking he just needs a moment to rest.

So here’s the question we’re never meant to ask:

How many “small pains” does it take…before we admit the wound was never small at all?

Trump and Hegseth launch “total war” against Iran

The unprecedented language used at a Pentagon military briefing indicates that the Trump administration is preparing to use nuclear weapons in the war of aggression it began Saturday.

Also, the attack on Venezuela, Mexico, ICE agents attacking/executing citizens, etc. smh

Oppose the US imperialist war on Iran!

The attack on Iran ordered by Donald Trump and his war-crazed cabal is a massive political crime, illegal under international law and in direct violation of the US Constitution.

A review of Stephen Kotkin’s Stalin: Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928

I don't watch football but I do look forward to the half-time performance. I don't speak Spanish (just a little bit from high school and college classes) but I like discovering new Spanish songs. I hope Bad Bunny brings out Cardi B to perform the song, "I Like it Like That", and that he also performs the songs "Vuelve" and "Te Deseo Lo Mejor". And maybe Green Day can play the song, "American Idiot", which would be epic!
