In this stunning music video, the acclaimed globe-trotting musician and activist Residente captures the graphic depravity of war.

This video’s 10 years old now but feels more current than ever with the atrocities the US has been committing at their southern border.
Veteran talks about worst day in Afghanistan in VR (2020)
I found this young man’s story extremely raw and honest. Our military takes advantage of our alienated young men and uses their physical and mental health like natural resources.
Some context for this video: The US was responsible for more civilian deaths in Afghanistan in the beginning of 2019 than the Taliban.
