Democrats and Republicans can barely agree on anything until it comes to war. Then they suddenly unite behind more sanctions, more weapons and more suffering. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Ukraine and Iran votes expose support by Democrats and Republicans for global war
The bipartisan 86-11 vote in the Senate would impose further economic sanctions on Russia and Iran, both targeted by American imperialism.

Sweet Smell of Success understood the relationship between media and political power long before cable news. Burt Lancaster barely raises his voice yet controls everyone at the table through fear and humiliation. Quietly menacing. One of the most cynical and best films of the 50s.

Everyone deserves a real chance at a decent life. No one should have to struggle to survive.
The Democratic Party represents corporate and military interests.
Sorry_not sorry@delevant.bsky.social · 3d agoWell they (and everyone else for that matter) has no other choice. Because the DEMS are no damn different to the GOP. AND, they haven’t a clue what to do next!
Trump and Republicans have responded with anti-communist attacks and federal monitoring of voting sites. We combat this by defending voting rights, documenting and reporting intimidation, volunteering at polling places, and refusing to let red-baiting divide people.

The Odyssey is flawed, but its positives outweigh the flaws. Its anti-war themes & criticism of greed, arrogance, and social decay speak directly to the present, even if its guilt-ridden Odysseus sometimes feels too modern and clashes with the violent ending. More important is the massive popularity

Israel killed at least 26 Palestinians in Gaza over the weekend as Trump threatened to “decapitate” Iran. All the talk of peace means nothing while the bombs keep falling. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

I liked the Arraez trade. The guy doesn't strike out at all. Puts the ball in play. .324 hitter. We desperately need someone like that. People disparage him as a "singles hitter" as if hitting a single is a bad thing.
The war keeps spreading. Now the US and Saudi Arabia are bombing Iraq while fighting heats up again in Yemen. None of this is making ordinary people safer. It’s turning the entire Middle East into one giant battlefield. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Joint US–Saudi attack on Iraq widens front of the imperialist war in Middle East
What Washington called “precision strikes” were an open extension of the war into Iraq, carried out with the participation of Saudi Arabia that can no longer be concealed behind the fiction of “defens...

Medicaid work requirements take effect: No money for healthcare, $1.5 trillion for war
Trump’s bill is projected to cut about $1.4 trillion in federal spending over 10 years. The government estimates the work requirements for Medicaid will strip 2.3 million people from the Medicaid roll...

I don't want to live in a world where the nice guy finishes last.
Medicaid work requirements aren’t about getting people to work. Most already do. They’re a paperwork trap designed to kick millions off healthcare while more money flows to billionaires and war. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Tens of millions face Medicaid cutoff, as Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” work requirements lock into place
A seismic change in how Medicaid benefits are distributed—requiring millions of recipients to provide documentation of 80 hours of work or face cutoff—has largely flown under the radar.

It’s no surprise more workers and young people are turning toward socialism. They see endless war, rising inequality and a future with less security. The challenge now is building a movement independent of both parties that puts human needs before profit.
Ukraine attacking an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea shows how these wars are bleeding into one another. This is no longer a collection of separate conflicts. It is a global war taking shape.
Science and public health must be protected from conspiracy theories, private profit, and the diversion of resources into war.
You don’t have to excuse Fauci’s record to see Rand Paul’s hearing for what it was: a McCarthyite attack on science and public health.
