COMMON DREAMS: OPINIONS

 

JUST A FEW...NOT ALL...






Finding the Victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Oppenheimer

Where are the images of those who died by the bombs that haunt humanity still?

Why Can't the US Media Ever Seem to Get It Right on War?

There seems to be something about war that journalists can’t resist and blind spots they can’t overcome.

College Antidiscrimination Suits Over Anti-Israel Speech Aren't Designed to Win But to Intimidate

And there's the danger: when you dilate the definition of antisemitism to encompass all censures of Israel, you dilute the power of the antisemitism charge to mobilize people against real manifestations of anti-Jewish hatred.

Call Them 'Terrorists' and You Can Kill as Many as You Want

We have to start claiming collective responsibility for the wrongs of our governments, which means confronting the dehumanization they use to justify atrocities.

State of the Union: War and Genocide Are Still the American Way

Peace cannot be found in the endless military packages but in the corridors of diplomacy and peace talks, where dialogue and negotiation pave the way for lasting solutions.

The Fossil Fuel Industry Can’t Avoid Liability for Discarded Oil and Gas Wells

Congressional Democrats are digging into the maneuvers corporations like Diversified rely on to make millions while unplugged wells poison communities with dangerous levels of methane gas.

Why I Don’t Rely on Hope

I have gravitated toward projects for social justice and ecological sustainability because they have provided some meaning in my life, not because I imagined success.

Lessons From 4 States That Boosted Tax Equity

Lawmakers seeking fair tax systems based on the ability to pay have many options.

With Genocide in Gaza, the Word 'Never' Has Been Stripped From 'Never Again'

The Palestinians, facing down the most powerful countries in the world, left virtually alone even by their allies, have suffered immeasurably. But they have won this war.

When Will Western Countries Stop Fueling an Endless Cycle of Hate and Violence?

The message from the countries who rule the world is that Palestinians have no human rights.

Planetary Cease-Fire Now!
Isn’t it strange that, after all these millennia, we humans can’t seem to truly face, no less truly deal with, who and what we are and what we repeatedly do to ourselves, not to speak of the rest of this planet?


Veterans Aren’t Fooled by Biden’s Mixed Messages on Gaza

Veterans are calling for a permanent cease-fire and an end to U.S. weapons shipments to Israel.

When the Big Oil CEO Blames You for the Climate Crisis His Industry Created

We simply “waited too long,” said ExxonMobil's top executive last week. But never mind, the important thing is that we made “above-average returns.”

Good Riddance to Wayne LaPierre—and Hopefully Soon the Entire NRA

For the first time, the NRA can’t buy their way out of this problem.
