Faisal R. Khan: This Will Be the Turning Point In American History

This is so extraordinarily insane. What’s unspeakably horrifying is that this president cannot experience being a “loser.” He is consequently compelled to “win” at all costs — even if it means destroying Iran and the world in the process. He is so profoundly mentally ill and his malignant narcissism is now coupled with dementia — an incredibly deadly combination.

That said, my friend Faisal is right. This psychopath is surrounded by pathological enablers who are themselves rooted in extreme ignorance, greed, hatred, and delusion. And, absolutely true, this is also not about one man. There are systemic imperialist pathologies that have followed and plagued and been embedded in our nation since its earliest days of colonialism, slavery, and the genocide of Indigenous Peoples. It is so far past time for us to reckon with the shadow side of America and engage in the deep work of facing, owning, healing, and transforming that which has needed our attention for so very, very long.
Today my heart breaks for all of the victims of this profoundly tragic and terrifying madness. And given our interconnectedness with all beings, my heart breaks for all of life on Earth. — Molly



This will be the turning point in American history
It will be seen as a major turning point, and the collapse of neoliberal hypocrisy and MAGA ideology and its complicity in war crimes and genocide. The United States just bombed Kharg Island. The U.S. president is now using rhetoric that suggests the annihilation of a 5,000-year-old civilization.
There are no words left only barbarism, cruelty, and savagery. And it is not happening in isolation. It is unfolding alongside Israel. Only God knows what comes next. But history will record this moment as a defining moment for the United States.
Let’s be clear: this is not about one man. Congress, the Senate, and the judiciary all bear responsibility in one way or another. This does not mean every individual citizen but in a system “for the people, by the people,” government actions reflect collective representation, whether we accept it or not. The shameful reality is that many Americans remain silent.
The United States has now struck Kharg Island again reportedly targeting dozens of military sites, a critical hub that exports around 90% of Iran’s crude oil. And the president’s statement is not just unhinged, it is dangerous, invoking threats that would violate international law and amount to catastrophic human consequences, continuing patterns we have already seen in Gaza and Lebanon.
This is a very sad and consequential moment.
