  2. UPDATE: After sending billions to #Kushner and #Trump, #Saudis lobby to escalate #IranWar

    Judd Legum, Mar 25, 2026

    " 'I’m not going to start a war,' President Trump pledged during his November 2024 victory speech. 'I’m going to stop wars.'

    "Today, the United States has been at war with Iran for almost a month, with no clear objectives and no end in sight. Why is Trump, who promised to avoid foreign entanglements, allowing it to drag on?

    "On Tuesday, the New York Times published a bombshell report. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (#MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting..."

  3. Washington Post columnist writes that Trump destroys Iran, killing thousands, because he experiments. This is the "world order" of (western) imperialism.
    washingtonpost.com/opinions/20

    "#Trump shows no concern about chaos. He is giving the Iranians a chance to take control away from the ayatollahs. Trump sees that as a gift — he doesn’t think the U.S. owes Iranians an on-the-ground effort to prevent chaos or to make their country stable, let alone democratic and prosperous.

    There are risks of inaction and risks in every possible course of action. A president’s main national security job is choosing which he prefers to face. Trump is trying something new, on the grounds that what happens after the air campaign isn’t necessarily a U.S. problem. Americans have to hope he’s right."

  9. #Palestine conference canceled by #USM over speaker’s sanctions has new location

    The academic discussion called the ‘#ConsequenceOfPalestine’ will take place at #FirstParishCongregationalChurch in #GorhamME

    by Riley Board, February 26, 2026

    "A conference on Palestine scheduled for Saturday has found a new venue after the University of Southern Maine said it would no longer sponsor the event because one of the planned speakers is subject to sanctions by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

    "The 'Consequence of Palestine' event will now be hosted at the First Parish Congregational Church in Gorham, and is scheduled to proceed on the same date, organizers with the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine and #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights announced Thursday.

    "University officials told organizers late last week they could no longer use Hannaford Hall on the USM’s Portland campus for the event after learning that speaker #FrancescaAlbanese is on the Office of Foreign Assets Controls’ #SanctionsLlist.

    "#Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on #HumanRights in the #OccupiedPalestinianTerritories, was slapped with sanctions in July after she wrote letters to several major American businesses, telling them she planned to name them in a U.N. report for contributing to human rights violations by #Israel; the #StateDepartment called the letters campaigns of political and #EconomicWarfare. U.S. businesses and entities are prohibited from doing business with Albanese.

    "Albanese was scheduled to speak at the conference remotely, and organizers said they received guidance that her participation was permitted so long as they did not engage in any financial transaction with her or offer an honorarium for her participation.

    "Organizers also say they offered to remove Albanese from the schedule, but the university said it still could not host the event because it needed, 'time to assess the risk and put in place measures to ensure compliance with all federal and state laws and university policies.'

    "More than 300 people had registered for the event as of Tuesday.

    "Albanese is still slated to speak at the conference, an organizer confirmed. The USM Department of Criminology and Sociology, previously a co-sponsor of the event, is no longer involved."

  14. What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

    The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

    By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

    "#PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

    [...]

    How can we stop Palantir?

    "#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

    "Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

    - Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
    - Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
    - Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

  20. ‘What an #Authoritarian #Oligarchy Looks Like’: #Trump Says #OilExecs Tipped Off About #Venezuela Attack

    “I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,” said one critic. “He did not inform #Congress but he’s saying he informed the #OilCompanies.”

    by Jon Queally
    Jan 05, 2026

    Excerpt: " 'I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,' said Fred Wellman, an Army combat veteran now running for Congress as a Democrat in Missouri. 'He did not inform Congress, but he’s saying he informed the oil companies.'

    " 'Keep in mind who he means,' Wellman added. 'The #billionaire #MegaDonor that just got control of #Citgo. Our service members were used directly to move the interests of Trump’s #donors.'

    " 'The oil companies were notified before Congress,' said Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health. 'This is what an authoritarian oligarchy looks like.' "

  21. #Trump’s former #Russia adviser says Russia offered US free rein in #Venezuela in exchange for #Ukraine

    "The Kremlin will be 'thrilled' with the idea that large countries — such as Russia, the United States and China — get spheres of influence because it proves 'might makes right,' " - Fiona Hill.

    By EMMA BURROWS, January 6, 2026

    "Russian officials indicated in 2019 that the Kremlin would be willing to back off from its support for #NicolásMaduro in Venezuela in exchange for a free hand in Ukraine, according to #FionaHill, an adviser to President Donald Trump at the time.

    "The Russians repeatedly floated the idea of a 'very strange swap arrangement between Venezuela and Ukraine,' Hill said during a congressional hearing in 2019. Her comments surfaced again this week and were shared on social media after the U.S. stealth operation to capture Maduro.

    "Hill said Russia pushed the idea through articles in Russian media that referenced the #MonroeDoctrine — a 19th century principle in which the U.S. opposed European meddling in the Western Hemisphere and in return agreed to stay out of European affairs. It was invoked by Trump to justify the #USIntervention in Venezuela."

  22. #BernieSanders: US Attack on #Venezuela Is Rank #Imperialism

    This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their resources or change their governments.

    by Bernie Sanders, January 3, 2026

    "Donald Trump has, once again, shown his contempt for the #Constitution and the rule of law. The President of the United States does NOT have the right to unilaterally take this country to war, even against a corrupt and brutal dictator like Maduro. The United States does NOT have the right, as Trump stated this morning, to 'run' Venezuela. Congress must immediately pass a #WarPowers resolution to end this illegal military operation and reassert its constitutional responsibilities.

    "Trump’s attack on Venezuela will make the #UnitedStates and the world less safe. This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their #resources or change their governments. This is the horrific logic of force that #Putin used to justify his brutal attack on #Ukraine.

    "Trump and his administration have often said they want to revive the #MonroeDoctrine, claiming the United States has the right to dominate the affairs of the hemisphere. They have spoken openly about controlling Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world. This is rank imperialism. It recalls the darkest chapters of #USInterventions in #LatinAmerica, which have left a terrible legacy. It will and should be condemned by the democratic world.

    Trump campaigned for president on an '#AmericaFirst' platform. He claimed to be the 'peace candidate.' At a time when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, when our #healthcare system is collapsing, when people cannot afford #housing and when #AI threatens millions of jobs, it is time for the president to focus on the crises facing this country and end this #MilitaryAdventurism abroad. Trump is failing in his job to 'run' the United States. He should not be trying to 'run' Venezuela."

  23. #Trump's Plan to Seize #Greenland Would "Militarize the Arctic," Trample #IndigenousRights

    #DemocracyNow, January 7, 2026

    "Following the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the Trump administration has renewed its campaign to take over Greenland, which has been controlled by Denmark for more than 300 years. The White House says it’s considering 'a range of options,' including the use of military force. Danish Prime Minister #MetteFrederiksen has warned that if the U.S. were to attack Greenland, it would spell the end of #NATO.

    " 'Greenland is not up for sale,' says #AajuPeter, a Greenlandic #Inuit activist and attorney, who says #IndigenousGreenlanders want their independence from both the U.S. and Denmark.

    "We also speak with analyst Pavel Devyatkin, who says the U.S. is 'acting like a #RogueState' and enacting a policy of 'pure imperialism.' "

  24. White House discussing "range of options" for acquiring #Greenland, including U.S. military takeover by force, Leavitt says

    By Gabrielle Ake,
    Updated on: January 6, 2026

    Excerpt: "Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark, has once again become a point of heated international discussion, after White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told CNN on Monday it's 'the formal position of the U.S. government ... that Greenland should be part of the United States,' and after Mr. Trump this weekend said the U.S. needs Greenland.

    "Denmark has long rebuffed the Trump administration's interest in Greenland, reiterating that rebuke this week. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said an American military move to seize control of Greenland would amount to the end of the NATO military alliance. Denmark is a NATO member, and NATO's Article 5 states that if a NATO ally suffers an armed attack, all members will consider it an attack on them as well and do what they need to aid the attacked nation.

    " 'If the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops,' Frederiksen told local media on Monday. 'That is, including our NATO, and thus the security that has been provided since the end of the Second World War.' "

  25. The List of Countries #Trump Is Threatening With War Keeps Growing

    President Donald Trump campaigned on the promise of getting out of foreign wars. He keeps talking about starting more of them.

    by Jonah Valdez, January 6 2026

    "President Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed 'Peace President,' detonated his own #AmericaFirst campaign promise of '#NoNewWars' over the weekend with an act of war in Venezuela.

    The U.S. military attacked Venezuela early Saturday morning, abducting its leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who now face narco-terrorism charges in a New York federal court. Eighty Venezuelan and Cuban citizens were killed by U.S. gunfire and airstrikes.

    "At least one U.S. missile struck an apartment building in the port city of Catia La Mar, killing an 80-year-old woman as she slept, seriously injuring another and displacing residents, according to The Associated Press. Trump described the attack as 'successful' and 'perfectly executed.'
    A growing number of legal experts and lawmakers have called Saturday’s bombing of Venezuela and the abduction of Maduro illegal under both international law and the U.S. Constitution.

    "And yet, the Trump administration is already threatening further military action against Venezuela and other sovereign nations in pursuit of his so-called '#DonroeDoctrine,' the refashioning of the 1823 #MonroeDoctrine, which American leaders with #imperialist ambitions have used to justify #USOccupations across #LatinAmerica throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

    " 'Under our new national security strategy, American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again,' Trump said Saturday at a press conference following the attack on Venezuela. 'Under the Trump administration, we are reasserting American power in a very powerful way in our home region.'

    "Though Trump campaigned on the promise of ending foreign wars, even before the attack on Venezuela, his second term has been defined by a ruthless and interventionist approach.
    He has already ordered military strikes in #Iran, #Iraq, #Nigeria, #Somalia, #Syria and #Yemen. Before abducting Maduro, the U.S. military attacked a Venezuelan port, and killed more than 100 civilians in bombings in the #CaribbeanSea and #PacificOcean. In addition, Trump continues to arm #Israel as it violates the ceasefire with Hamas, grinding the #genocide in #Gaza into a third year.
    Mere hours before the U.S. bombed Venezuela on Saturday, Trump threatened to attack Iran over its violent crackdowns on protesters, writing on social media that the U.S. is 'locked and loaded and ready to go.'

    "And since carrying out Venezuela raid, the Trump administration has taken aim at Cuba and #Colombia, hinted at intervention in #Mexico, renewed annexation aspirations in #Greenland, and reiterated threats to Iran."
