The United States gave Netanyahu billions of dollars to fund the genocide in Gaza.

Now, Netanyahu and Trump are teaming up for an unconscionable war with Iran.

'It sounded like the future': behind Miles Davis's greatest album On the 50th anniversary of Bitches Brew, one of the contributing musicians and the director of a new documentary share their thoughts on the record
