Jack,

Daily Kos was born in the shadow of war.

In 2002, I started Daily Kos fighting George W. Bush’s reckless, lie-filled march into Iraq—a war that shattered lives, destabilized the world, and cost trillions. Having served in the U.S. Army during Operation Desert Served, my voice resonated in those dark times.

Now, over 20 years later, Trump seems to want to make the same mistake all over again.

🔴 He’s saber-rattling against Iran
🔴 He’s threatening Tehran with annihilation
🔴 And he’s using the language of war to distract, dominate, and destroy dissent

It’s the same playbook: manufactured fear, unchecked aggression, and total disregard for human life.

We won’t let it happen again.

Daily Kos was founded to stop unjust war. We’re still here. Still fighting. Still warning the world when power turns violent.

But we need you with us. If you believe in resisting Trump’s rush to war—chip in now to support fearless, independent media.

P.S. We saw what happened when the media fell in line during the Iraq War. We won’t make that mistake again. Stand with Daily Kos now, before it’s too late.
