Manufacturing Dissent: No War on Iran

This week, Trump launched a full-throttle, unprovoked strike on Iran, violating U.S. law, international law, and any shred of moral credibility.

The oligarchy is flexing its muscles, but we can flex back.

We examine the opposition to this war, a populist opposition that covers the spectrum from MAGA to Bernie and the left.

CNN, Fox and other mainstream outlets start to manufacture consent, but we've got tools to fight back.

TAKE ACTION. CAIR has an easy set of action alerts that make it easy to contact your Representative and your Senators.

We remind ourselves how to innoculate our minds against manufactured consent to war, dissect the liberal feminist Trojan horse arguments for “liberation by airstrike,” and remind folks that this exact imperial playbook led us into Iraq.

Also this week:

• Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil is finally out on bail after ICE disappeared him for leading campus protests.

• The Senate Parliamentarian tells Republicans that they can't cut food stamp cuts.

• The Democrats once again show they hate nothing more than a charismatic leftist by throwing everything they've got against Zohran Mamdani. (Go VOTE if you're a New Yorker!)
