More than 400,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee their homes in response to Israel’s new bombing campaign and invasion of Gaza City.

Israel continues to slaughter Palestinians with the backing of the U.S. government. Our tax dollars should be used to fund peoples’ needs, not wage genocide!

Recent Israeli airstrikes in Qatar make it clear: Assassination is one of Trump’s favorite foreign policy tools. Nothing about Trump’s assassination spree makes the people of the United States safer — it only threatens to start new wars where working people die and corporations profit.

Trump just announced that he’ll be giving the Medal of Freedom – the highest non-military award – to...Rudy Giuliani???

Giuliani is rightly considered a joke today. But when he had real power, Giuliani used it to shred freedom and implement racist, police state policies.
