Introduction
This post offers eleven reasons to vote against Trump/Vance in the November
presidential election. The reader may think of more reasons. It will take a large
vote for Harris/Walz to accomplish this goal and thus end Trump’s dominating
influence on the Republican Party and US politics. It is a truly epical fight about
democracy vs fascism.

DO NOT SAY YOU DID NOT KNOW. DO NOT SAY YOU COULD NOT ACT
and for those of you active: never stop - keep pushing (you are making a
difference as empire is besieged and beginning to crumble at the edge). We
send you love and respect from under the boot of colonization and apartheid.

Congratulations are in order for Nihon Hidankyo, the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations. The Nobel Peace Prize has for the first time in at least six years gone to a group of people who work to reduce warmaking, people who in fact seek to abolish nuclear weapons. Nihon Hidankyo has relentlessly done the work of educating the world, thanklessly, for many years. This prize should be celebrated far and wide.

Congratulations are also in order to the Nobel Committee, for somehow manintaining the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize despite how the committee has mistreated it time and time again, and for — this time — getting it right. May this mark a new principled commitment!

The last year of a relentless Israeli war on Gaza, and bloody raids and violence in the West Bank have been largely viewed in terms of their horrific humanitarian outcomes: the unequaled killing of tens of thousands, the obliteration of Gaza and the destruction in the West Bank. 

 While humanitarian urgency must indeed be a priority, other factors are also deserving of consideration, especially as we mark the one-year anniversary of the ongoing war. 

 Even though the mass killing is yet to end, there are several conclusions that can already be drawn about the long-term consequences of the war. 

The U.S. government often claims to stand for the rule of law, but this past year has made it painfully clear that this doesn’t apply to Palestinians. The moral, financial, and security costs of U.S. support for Israel’s rapidly expanding wars are adding up for Americans, too.
