Join us tonight for a free screening of the acclaimed documentary War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death, followed by a panel that will illuminate how wars get started and how they can be prevented or stopped. Sign up if you haven't already. Listen to whistleblowers and independent journalists. That's one of the key lessons. The mainstream narrative on the war on Iraq is that we were all fooled. But millions of us, including numerous experts, whistleblowers, and independent reporters were not fooled in the slightest.
It was good for the New York Times this past weekend to report that back in 1980, Republicans arranged for U.S. hostages to remain hostage in Iran longer, in order to elect Ronald Reagan to the White House. But if you had read the well-documented reporting by Robert Parry many years ago, you’d already know the story. If a nuclear war begins, the New York Times will probably report on it. But if you want to understand the danger and how to prevent it while there's still time, read Daniel Ellsberg and Thomas Drake right now.  We also know what needs to be done to prevent more banking disasters, and we're working on pressuring Congress to stop putting banks ahead of people. Can you help?  Also: train disasters. We've been pushing Congress and the Biden administration to take several obvious steps that could have been taken long ago. We're also busy trying to keep Cop City from being built, to elect a better mayor in Chicago, and to end transphobia in Buffalo. March 25th marks the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing of Yemen. We cannot let there be a ninth! Please join a coalition of U.S. and international groups for an online rally to inspire and enhance education and activism to end the war in Yemen. Speakers include Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Shireen Al-Adeimi, Liz Theoharis, Chris Nineham, Sam Perlo-Freeman, and Amaani Yehya. Register.
