Recent polling shows that one in two Americans are now struggling to afford food, healthcare, and other necessities. A war against Venezuela won’t help them.

Our representatives in Congress still have the power to stop it.

I am going to scream. There is no evacuating a city of 10 million people, a metro area of 18 million people. My family has been trying to leave — there’s no gas, the roads have been bombed, and traffic is at a standstill. This is a death cult in action.

Younger progressives believe that if killing 1,000 innocent Israelis is wrong (and it is), so is killing 10,000 innocent Palestinians.

If Biden can't make the same simple calculation, he's courting a political (and moral) catastrophe.

inkstickmedia.com Biden’s Base Is Sending Him a Wake-up Call On Israel-Palestine As the horrifying human costs in Gaza escalate, key progressive voters are calling on the president to call for a ceasefire. He ignores them at his own risk.
