📣📣📣In 2015, 30 women peacemakers crossed the DMZ from North to South Korea. This is documented in a film “Crossings” which will air on PBS on Sunday July 23! It’s a deeply moving film by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem. https://t.co/1BHsA0A0xQ @WomenCrossDMZ

JUST IN: A moment of disgrace for America on the world stage. U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz hurls a barrage misinformation about Cuba and gets cut off: “This is the UN General Assembly, not a Signal chat.”

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

“Donald Trump has guaranteed that Iran will be a nuclear weapons state in 5 to 10 years from now.” Iranian writer @tparsi tells @mehdirhasan that US bombing of Iran would push Tehran toward developing nuclear weapons. Watch the full conversation: https://t.co/KuGMKjFVs8

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

NO MORE WAR! It’s time for Americans across political lines to call for an end to this insanity. This is NOT making the US safer but just putting all of us at risk.

Trump launching us into war with Iran is a flagrant abuse of power and an impeachable offense. The Framers were clear with the War Powers Clause: only Congress could take the nation into war. He must be impeached and removed from office. @FSFP

Impeach Trump. Sign the petition NOW to defend democracy and demand accountability! He is disqualified from office, and has violated the U.S. Constitution.

BREAKING: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the green light to refuse treatment to veterans who are Democrats or unmarried. Yes—you read that right. Serve your country, risk your life, and when you come home, your care depends on your politics and marital status.

At least 38 million people have been displaced by the U.S. post-9/11 wars. That is more than those displaced by any war or disaster since the start of the 20th century, except for World War II. [1/3]

Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th. 231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.
