In early March 2026, mere days into the United States and Israel’s latest war against Iran, various news outlets reported that President Donald Trump had engaged directly with Iraqi and Iranian Kurdish leaders to promote an uprising spearheaded by Iran’s Kurdish minority against the Iranian regime. The White House denied these assertions. On March 6, a Reuters exclusive reported that Israel, which has its own contacts with Iranian Kurds, was backing their plans to seize Iranian territory. The next day, however, Trump declared that he had “ruled out” Kurdish participation in the war. “I don’t want to see the Kurds…

Copenhagen’s Michelin starred restaurant, Noma, has seen…

Over a decade ago, the US and Western nations would feign concern for the loss of innocent life while they waged a war. Terms such as Collateral or Unintentional would be thrown around, even when all evidence points in the opposite direction. There was a need for benevolent war fighting, to satisfy the narrative for the domestic voting block, to package war and intervention in accordance with corporate spin but also to impress upon the rest of the world, that the killers are in fact the good guys. The West and the US now don’t seem to concern themselves with…

Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair There is something at once profoundly demonic in its cynicism, deeply unsettling, and almost burlesque in Donald Trump’s latest AI-crafted spectacle: a man who spent decades socializing with Jeffrey Epstein—whom he once described as a “terrific guy” with a taste for “younger women”—now reappears as a messianic healer, a kind of white, Protestant-Zionist “Christ,” as though resurrected from the visual grammar of Nazi propaganda about the blond Aryan Übermensch. With an outstretched hand he bestows light upon the afflicted, while in the background loom eagles, fighter jets, and hovering figures that resemble anything but the…

What if I told you that the U.S. government once imprisoned a filmmaker for making a movie about the American Revolution because it depicted British troops in an unflattering light? In today’s edition of the Injustice System newsletter, let’s talk about censorship, freedom of speech, and the infuriating—if aptly named—1917 case of United States v. “The Spirit of ’76.” You’re reading Injustice System from Damon Root and Reason. Get more of Damon’s commentary on constitutional law and American history. When President Woodrow Wilson led the U.S. to war against Germany in 1917, he also vowed to crush all enemies that…
