This week on CounterSpin: Prosecutors at the 1946 International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg declared: “War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world.

This week on CounterSpin: We’ve always heard that racists hate quotas, yet Stephen Miller’s “3000 a day, however which way” mandate is terrorizing immigrant communities — brown immigrant communities — around the country.

This week on CounterSpin: Media are focused on public protests in LA but seem less interested in what’s making people angry. That’s in part about the federal government’s stated bid to capture and eject anyone who they determine “opposes U.S. foreign policy.” Protesters and witnesses and journalists in LA aren’t being shot at and thrown around and …

This week on CounterSpin: An email we got this week tells us: “The radical left is up in arms about DOGE. Just think about it — DOGE has exposed BILLIONS in wasteful spending, and is rooting out fraud and corruption at every turn. They’re making the government work for the people of this great nation once again, as the founders intended, and that i…

This week on CounterSpin: Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé and … Oprah? They’re among the entertainers in Trump’s sights for, it would seem, endorsing Kamala Harris in the election and, maybe, for saying something unflattering about him or his actions — which, in his brain, and that of the minions who’ve chosen to share that brain, constitu…

This week on CounterSpin: On a Sunday night, not when officials do things they’re most proud of, House Republicans passed a plan to give more money to rich people by taking it from the non-rich. Call it what you will, that’s what’s ultimately happening with the plan to cut more than $700 billion from Medicaid in order to “offset,” as elite media ha…

This week on CounterSpin: As part of its deadly denial of food, water, and medicine to Palestinian people, Israel attacked a civilian aid ship endeavoring to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, setting it on fire, injuring crew members, cutting off communications.

This week on CounterSpin: They say ignorance is bliss, but I know that, for myself and others, our lack of knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will only hurt us in our response to the effects that the dealings around that stuff are having on our lives.

This week on CounterSpin: The website of the Kairos Democracy Project has a quote from John Lewis, reminding us, “Democracy is not a state.

This week on CounterSpin: Elon Musk reportedly told Tesla investors that he’ll be amping down his role with the Department of Government Efficiency to, one guesses, bring his big brain back into their service.

This week on CounterSpin: Israel has abandoned the ceasefire agreement and restarted its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza — a war that has destroyed the region and killed tens of thousands of human beings.

This week on CounterSpin: News site Popular Information alerted us to new Social Security Administration policy effectively requiring tens of thousands of recipients, by the agency’s own estimation, to travel to a field office to verify their ID.
