Last year, Indigenous students filmed a brief land acknowledgment for the Chandler Unified School District. Following a fierce public debate on Wednesday, its governing board members voted to play this video at the beginning of all future meetings and graduation ceremonies.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.
Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.
