In a deranged speech last night, Trump called on Iran to use a nuclear weapon against Los Angeles and San Diego, calling it "a very small price to pay" The president of the USA encouraged a foreign nation to commit a heinous crime against humanity and incinerate millions Is it finally too much?

Wall Street’s story is more than markets and money. In colonial New York, enslaved Indigenous and African people were bought, sold, hired out, and forced to labor in the streets, homes, workshops, and docks of lower Manhattan. Episode 1 of Northern Slavery: The Case Files youtu.be/28QAs3Fn7gM

The British invasion of Long Island in 1776 didn’t land on empty ground. Follow Native families on Long Island and along the Connecticut coast as war turns their homelands into a military zone, their water routes into borders, and their identities into labels that erase them. youtu.be/diQYasqvRY4

Calling for the erasure of a civilization is dangerous and unhinged coming from any leader, let alone an American President. It is not a tactic. It is not a joke. America is not at war with the Iranian people. (1/2)

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
