no matter how illegal, no matter how unethical or immoral, no matter how strategically unsound, no matter how contrary to American ideals and democratic principles.
What’s more shocking is the complicity of our military leadership in carrying out anything they are directed to by a fascist and criminal administration—
The most concerning aspect of the use of our military under this administration is not necessarily the conduct of Trump and Hegseth. After all, the bar is as low as it can be there, and we expect no less…
My analysis for renowned journalist Nilo Tabrizy’s investigation into the pattern of illegal and reckless U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran…
This is state terrorism. The entire Trump regime must be removed—whether peacefully or by force. We have no choice.

America has become no less than a terrorist state—with the president at its head, his dog of war, Pete Hegseth, howling with a crazed bloodlust, and U.S. military leadership bowing to their every criminal command…
“This fascist, hateful, Christian and Judeo-Christian Nationalist ideology… that drives a lot of this.”
There is a reason Trump makes such threats as “a whole civilization will die tonight.” In my interview with TMJ News, I lay out exactly what is behind everything this administration is doing…
To our generals and admirals: Stand up, have the moral courage your station demands, and show the world that this is not America. Or fall alongside the fascists you now serve—because their time is coming, and yours will soon follow.
“Why stand we here idle?”
–Patrick Henry, 1775
Trump threatens to “take out the entire country” and bomb Iran “back into the Stone Ages.”
When will enough be enough for those in power to do what must be done? Trump, and this entire administration, must be removed by whatever means necessary.
“We have to ask ourselves, ‘Who are we as a people?’”
In my interview with @camanpour.bsky.social in March, I addressed the truly maniacal nature of Trump and Hegseth as they carry out war crimes across the world and continue to threaten more. Now, just over two weeks later,
within the broader context of the criminality and recklessness of the joint U.S.-Israel war in Iran.

“The Trump administration, Hegseth himself, and really our senior military leadership have presented an utter failure to foresee the implications of this war.”
I joined @pbsnews.org NewsHour to discuss the downing of U.S. strike aircraft in Iran and the ongoing rescue effort…
within the broader context of the criminality and recklessness of the joint U.S.-Israel war in Iran.

I know at least one truth: We’ll take this nation back. And those who were quiet and complicit will be remembered for exactly what they were—and what they failed to be—when their country needed them most.
Where are all our former presidents? The previous “leaders of the free world” who now stand by limply as fascism destroys all that they once rallied us to uphold. It must have all been a lie.
Where are all the former generals? Who should be calling out the complicity of their colleagues in carrying out war crimes and state terrorism while on their knees to a maniac’s every whim.
One of the many topics we touched on is the dismal failure of leading voices to stand up when the moment matters.
Honored to be interviewed by Mr. Ralph @nader.org, where we had an incredibly engaging discussion on the criminality of the Iran war and the broader dangers that this administration has brought to the very fabric and soul of our nation.
and the criminal use of our military by Hegseth and Trump— and the generals who bend the knee.

“The danger here, the incredible danger, is that the U.S. military is now starting to import the practices of the Israeli military.”
Highlight from my interview with @democracynow.org where I discuss the soulless bloodthirst of this depraved administration…
Former Pentagon analyst-turned-whistleblower Wes Bryant says the U.S. is "starting to import the practices of the Israeli military" with its usage of so-called "precision munitions" in dense civilian areas.

“We are not ‘liberating’ the Iranian people at all…”
Honored to interview with Christiane Amanpour to talk about the tragedy in Iran, my whistleblowing at the Pentagon, and the criminal use of our military under the Trump administration.
and depravity of the Trump administration’s rampant use of military force—and what all of this means for our nation.

“Our country, our nation, and by extension our military, has been gripped by fascism...”
I joined Alex Wagner on the Runaway Country podcast for a very engaging discussion on the war in Iran and the U.S. strike on an Iranian elementary school, where we delved into the broader lawlessness…
and the broader implications of all of this to both global security and American credibility.

“This is what happens when you emplace people of this character in positions of power…”
I joined MS NOW @theweekendprime.bsky.social to discuss the U.S. strike on a girls' school in Iran, the slashing of the Pentagon's civilian protection efforts under Pete Hegseth…
